Natural Time Cycle (NTC) & Gann Pressure Dates (Educational)Nifty 50 IndexNSE_DLY:NIFTYWD_Gann_TheoryNatural Time Cycle (NTC) & Gann Pressure Dates – March 2024 Case Study Markets often react not only to price levels, but also to time-based cycles. This idea presents an educational case study of how Natural Time Cycle (NTC) dates, also known as Gann Pressure Dates, aligned with market behavior during March 2024. ⏳ Understanding Natural Time Cycle Dates Natural Time Cycles are time reference points derived from: Calendar harmonics Market rhythm & symmetry Gann’s Law of Vibration Time–price relationship principles These dates are not directional signals. They are used to observe periods when market sensitivity often increases. 📅 March 2024 – Time Cycle Observations The following Natural Time Cycle dates were studied for March 2024: 6 & 8 March → Since 8 March was a non-trading day, the nearest active session was observed 20 March → Regular trading session 23 & 24 March → Weekend dates, with the prior trading session observed These adjustments follow standard time-cycle alignment practices used in historical Gann studies. 📊 Market Behaviour (Post-Event Observation) After these time references: Market structure showed a clear change in momentum Volatility expanded near the observed dates A notable shift in trend behaviour occurred later in April, aligning with time-cycle symmetry This highlights how time often acts as a trigger, while price confirms the structure. 🧠 Why This Matters W.D. Gann emphasized that: “Time is the most important factor in determining market movements.” Natural Time Cycles help traders: Prepare mentally for potential changes Avoid emotional decision-making Combine time with price & structure, instead of relying on price alone 📌 Educational Note This study is shared strictly to explain: How time cycles are observed How non-trading dates are adjusted How time and price interact in real markets Disclaimer: This content is for educational and analytical purposes only.
