Looking Back With W.D. Gann. Long Ter M Cycles
‘The culmination of the Bull market in September 1929 was really the result of a long term business cycle which began in
August 1896 and continued for 33 years, with each campaign in the market making higher prices, which showed that the
long term trend was up.’
W.D. Gann, the New York Trend Detector
In his Stock Market Course, Gann had a section called the Dow Jones Resistance Levels where he particularly focused on the
Sharp V bottom of Aug 8 1896 low 42 up until the Final top of Sept 3 1929
1896-1929 = 33years
The exact distance between the dates was 33.07 years, 396.81 months, 1725 weeks and 12078 days.
Look within the circle and you’ll see lots of squares and oppositions between planets forming a Fixed Square/cross.
This is a square within a circle - one of the shapes in Gann’s Emblem. When planets form such alignments, the energy is very
difficult. Especially the fixed quality which adds more constriction to the natural flow of energy. The four fixed signs are Taurus,
Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius referred to as the four beasts in the Bible. As a midday chart, you can see the dominance of Fixed in
the grid below. Fire is also the dominant element which brings in the theme of heat and destruction.

LOW AFTER CRASH 1987
Looking forward now, some 55 years to the day of the low after the 1987 crash, what can we see that is similar to the 1932 low.

Below are the 4 charts overlapped in a quad-wheel, I know is can look a little confusing at first however just observe the Grand Trine
(green triangle) and the planets at 23-24 degrees in the Fire signs of Aries, Leo and Sagittarius at the three points.

I will finish this article with a quote from Luther Jensen
“Since 1896 Uranus and Jupiter have been in a favourable aspect 28 times. In every case these aspects coincided with gains in
business activity. The July 8th depression low coincided with the exact trine of these two planets on the 9th July 1932- the day the
upward thrust began. A synthesis of the relationship by aspect and sign position of Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus, plus the sunspot
cycle if the frame work upon which to project the primary trends of business and the markets.”
