When studying the movement of markets, one principle becomes impossible to ignore:
Price, Time, and Degrees are different faces of the same underlying energy.
Markets breathe, pulse, and rotate according to natural cycles.
To understand them, we cannot think in only one dimension.
Price, Time, and Degrees are fully connected — and measurable.
Core Concept: Price = Time = Degrees
- Price is the visible distance markets travel.
- Time is the invisible cost required for movement.
- Degrees measure the rotational energy beneath the surface.
Every major trend or reversal can be measured:
- In how much price changed,
- In how much time passed,
- In how many degrees of vibrational energy completed.
When time and price match harmonically by degree,
markets reach decision points — and trends either accelerate or reverse.
How Degrees Measure Time
- 360 degrees = One complete cycle.
- 45 degrees = 1/8 of a full cycle (minor shift).
- 90 degrees = 1/4 cycle (key inflection point).
- 180 degrees = 1/2 cycle (major polarity change).
- 360 degrees = Full cycle exhaustion.
Markets respect these angles in both price and time.
The key is realizing time itself can be broken into degrees based on the chart timeframe.
- On a daily chart: 1 bar = 1 day.
- On a 1-minute chart: 1 bar = 1 minute.
- On a 5-minute chart: 1 bar = 5 minutes.
No matter the timeframe, time progresses in measurable degrees.
How to Apply Price = Time = Degrees
1. Define the Unit of Time
- Know whether you are on a daily, hourly, 5-minute, or 1-minute chart.
2. Identify a Significant Pivot
- Start from a major low, high, or trend beginning.
3. Project Degree Cycles Forward
Move outward in multiples of 45°:
- After 45 bars → Minor reaction expected.
- After 90 bars → Potential trend shift.
- After 180 bars → Major exhaustion or reversal.
Each bar is a unit of time — and also a slice of vibrational rotation.
4. Confirm with Price and Volume
- If time and price complete vibrational cycles together,
the probability of a market reaction increases sharply.
Example on the Daily Chart
- A major low forms at 4000.
- Each bar = 1 day.
Cycle Checkpoints:
- 45 days after the low: Minor reaction expected.
- 90 days after the low: Watch carefully for acceleration or pullback.
- 180 days after the low: Major decision window.
If price rallies 180 points in 180 days,
Price = Time = Degrees are all in balance —
the energy cycle is complete.
Example on the 1-Minute Chart
- On a 1-minute chart, each bar = 1 minute.
- A short-term low forms at 4200.
Cycle Checkpoints:
- 45 minutes later (45 bars): Minor intraday reaction likely.
- 90 minutes later: Possible trend reversal.
- 180 minutes later: Full intraday exhaustion expected.
Whether it’s 1 minute or 1 day,
time can be measured in degrees to find where markets naturally shift.
Summary
Price is the distance traveled.
Time is the cost of travel.
Degrees are the measurement of energy rotation.
They are not separate forces.
They are parts of the same system.
By studying how they interact,
trends and reversals become visible long before they occur.
Markets do not move randomly.
They move by law — and law is measurable.
