What’s in a Number?
The year is starting to pick up pace as we enter the normal grind of work, family, politics and of course the economy. The things that make market news continue to appear and the ability to combine a headline with a move in the market remains consistent. I can see 2026 shaping up as a year to confuse just enough of the people, just enough of the time. A word to the wise, you may need to invest in ear plugs to block out the noise of what’s in the press and stay tuned to the processes and routines you have been developing.
This month I am keen to continue the discussion on Boeing as the more I research this market the more it seems to speak to me. Last month in the Platinum newsletter I highlighted some time frames that I had measured and suggested a deeper review in your research around them. One major foundation of Gann’s mantra is history repeats, however, it should have an addendum that would say you need to find the right piece of history to understand how and when it’s going to repeat.
That phase of our trading is the research time, and it can be fast or slow with how quickly you find the right piece of information. In my discussions on Boeing, I think I have highlighted lots of example where it’s been working with numbers like 60, 120 and 240. These we agree relate more to the triangle than the square when we think of the Gann Emblem.
You don’t have to force the market to observe one number or another, I find its about accepting that a new market is a blank canvas and letting it tell the story. I remarked that you should review the bullish moves as marked in last month’s article to note patterns. If you have done this there is some newfound knowledge you would hopefully have gained. Then from this we can see once these tops have formed, what could be the resulting move, I have identified that 126 days was a common number after tops (ie tops into bottoms). So once established we may use this a projection moving forward to assist.
Chart 1 looks at several places where 126 days has appeared (in some cases it’s plus or minus a few days). They often coincide with major top to bottoms but also in areas from tops to tops. We should be comfortable as well with 50% or 63 days and this is also noted in areas.
Chart 1 – Boeing Daily Bar Chart
If the current high in January is confirmed as a high of some importance, then we could project 63 days and 126 days into the future and they suggest 31 March and 2 June as areas to watch.
Chart 2 suggests some interim Time by Degrees support If I average the double tops, we can see the two previous highs at 90 degrees and 180 degrees (approximately).
Chart 2 – Boeing Daily Bar Chart
The Wheels within Wheel framework is always at play, and it can be hard to manage on various time frames from small to large.
Using the 126 day count on the smaller picture from the January high we can see that early June, the 2nd, can become a zero date.
The final chart I will leave you with is using that June area as an anchor, we could run time frames backwards. Of interest is the low and high at 60 weeks and a128 weeks offering harmony.

With luck this may provide you some food for thought as to how we can use a number is a market forwards and backwards as well as small and large picture.
Good Trading
