S&P 500 Index vs W.D. Gann's Mass Pressure Chart | Update August 2018

Since early February the S&P 500 Index has closely been following the Gann Mass Pressure Chart,
and suggests that August 7 (Tue) marked a major high and Aug 15 (Wed) an intermediate low. The rally
should now pause for about two days into August 21 (Tue) before continuing into August 25 (Sat). Next
would be a swing down into the last trading day of August. From there the Mass Pressure Chart moves
sideways-to-down to another major low end of October. From there the Mass Pressure Chart rises into
the last trading day of 2018. More on the concept of Gann's Mass Pressure Chart  HERE

W.D. Gann's Mass Pressure Chart for the DJIA 2018

W.D. Gann's Mass Pressure Chart is a selective or incomplete Decennial Pattern: Each value of this composite is derived from 6 past price values of the DJIA exactly 80, 60, 40, 30, 20, and 10 years back. Therefore the Mass Pressure Chart and the Decennial Pattern oftentimes look very much the same, and even have identical turning-points. See also HERE

Mass Pressure Chart 2013

Several years ago the Mass Pressure Chart was hyped and sold as W.D. Gann's ultimate secret. Daniel T. Ferrera, a pundit on the matter, admits: "I have talked to many Gann experts about the Mass Pressure Chart and most have no clue as to what it may be. I have never seen an actual original Mass Pressure Chart from W.D. Gann and I do not know of anyone else who has come across one."

However, it seems the Mass Pressure Chart is but a selective or incomplete Decennial Pattern: Each value of this equally weighted composite is derived from 6 past price values of the DJIA exactly 80, 60, 40, 30, 20, and 10 years back. The Mass Pressure Chart and the Decennial Pattern oftentimes look very much the same, and have identical turning-points.
