Monitor Price action with Trendlines / Gan Fan

*And over here, Sir/Madam, we have the 3.5L six-cylinder, 800-horsepower, 95-cubic feet
truck with a diesel engine. It goes 0 to 60 in 0.5 seconds and comes fully equipped with an 18-foot lift kit and did I mention the 80 inch strobe lights.”*

Some days, wave counting feels exactly like that—like you’ve been dragged to a dealership and hit with a barrage of numbers you didn’t ask for.

Information you have to painstakingly puzzle through.

All you really want to know is: Does it drive? *Where will it take me?*

That’s the heart of my wave counts. I don’t care about the extra fluff. I want clarity, direction, and purpose.

But doing the two-step between multiple asset classes—forex, indices, FANG stocks—feels like a dangerous tango. One where my precious money is on the line.

*[Insert Smeagol picture for dramatic effect]*

There’s a Chinese proverb that sums it all up:

**“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.” — Confucius**

In this quick article, I’ll show you a dead-simple concept that can clear up your charts and your thinking. A quick read. Quick to understand. So for one night, you don’t have to do a dirty tango with crazy numbers.

**Cue: Gann Fans and Trend Lines.**

You’ve seen trend lines.

But have you seen *three*?

When you use three trend lines, you’re not just capturing the obvious. You’re measuring *acceleration*, *deceleration*, and *breakout momentum*. One line to show the base trend. One to catch the slowdown. And one to anticipate the breakout.

Pair that with s&r levels and suddenly you’re seeing *speed* and *time* like never before. A break of a key level or a sharp lift off your trend line isn’t random—it’s often the market shifting gears.

You didn’t think I’d drop all this without sprinkling in some wave counts, did you?

Welcome to the fiesta.

- Tango intensities*

Here’s where it ties in:

A **double bottom** formation near the end of a trend often isn’t just a reversal—it’s a *setup*.

What you’re likely seeing is a **Wave 3-4-5** squeeze into completion. That double bottom is the market catching its breath.

And when it breaks the trend line on the upside? That’s often the beginning of a brand new wave structure in the opposite direction.

If this breakout fails it is just as easy to exit the position with easy to identify stop out points.

It doesn’t have to be complicated.

Just structured.

Best,
Coi
