Gold Enters Powerful 360-Day Cycle With Price Geometry Pointing to $4,735

The Cyclical Awakening: 30–60–90 Day Rhythms

Gold has entered a powerful synchronization phase where the shorter-term time cycles are converging into the broader 360-day master rhythm. The 30-day cycle, anchored to the September 28, 2025, low around $4,000, established the base harmonic tone. This pivot was not just technical—it was temporal, marking the completion of a full Gann 30-day vibration from the prior August high.

• Dashed lines mark key VC PMI weekly levels — Buy 2 ($3,825), Buy 1 ($4,018), Pivot ($4,205), Sell 1 ($4,389), and Sell 2 ($4,586) — corresponding to Gann’s 30°–90° harmonics on the Square of 9 spiral.

As the 60-day cycle unfolded, price action tested the Buy 2 Weekly zone ($3,825–$4,018) twice before reversing sharply upward. Each test formed a higher low, revealing growing internal strength and absorption of supply at these levels. This repetitive oscillation signifies classic mean-reversion behavior within an expanding Fibonacci spiral, a precursor to sustained price acceleration.

The 90-day cycle, which typically produces the most visible breakout within a quarterly rhythm, is now in its early bullish phase. The transition above the weekly VC PMI mean of $4,205 confirms the 30- and 60-day cycles have completed their accumulation phase. The next harmonic extension targets the Sell 2 Weekly level ($4,586)—the equilibrium point where the 90-day cycle traditionally culminates before a mid-cycle correction.

The 360-Day Cycle: A Golden Expansion Year

From a macro perspective, the 360-day cycle that began near the October 2024 lows around $2,600 remains dominant. The current wave structure reflects the third 90-day sub-phase, which historically delivers the steepest portion of the ascent—analogous to the “third wave” in Elliott structure, or what Gann described as the “vibration of maximum acceleration.”

This phase frequently coincides with macroeconomic realignments—shifts in interest rate expectations, liquidity expansions, or systemic stress. The present move above $4,300, fueled by safe-haven inflows and declining real yields, fits this archetype perfectly. The Square of 9 harmonic projection from the $2,600 base aligns the $4,320–$4,380 zone with the third 360-degree turn, suggesting the market is now entering the fourth quadrant of its annual revolution, where volatility expands exponentially.

The next harmonic rotation, projected from the Square of 9, places $4,586, $4,735, and $4,915 as geometric resonance points—each representing 45°, 60°, and 90° angular extensions of the dominant spiral. The first of these ($4,586) coincides with the VC PMI Sell 2 Weekly zone, marking a critical resonance of time, price, and geometry—a textbook Gann “Time–Price Convergence.”

The VC PMI Mean Reversion StructureThe Variable Changing Price Momentum Indicator (VC PMI) framework acts as the gravitational field through which these cycles express themselves. The pivot levels this week are:

• Buy 2 Weekly: $3,825
  
  
• Buy 1 Weekly: $4,018
  
  
• Mean (Pivot): $4,205
  
  
• Sell 1 Weekly: $4,389
  
  
• Sell 2 Weekly: $4,586
  
  

Price moving decisively above the weekly mean ($4,205) shifts the algorithmic bias to bullish, triggering a reversion probability toward $4,389–$4,586** with 90% confidence levels according to VC PMI statistics. A close above $4,463 (Sell 2 Daily) would confirm acceleration into the 90-day expansion phase, with a potential extension toward the Square of 9 harmonic at $4,735 before the next cyclical pause.

Gann & Square of 9 Geometry: Time–Price Symmetry

The Square of 9, when anchored at the 2024 low of $2,600, identifies successive 360° expansions at approximately:

• 1st rotation: $3,250
  
  
• 2nd rotation: $3,825
  
  
• 3rd rotation: $4,320
  
  
• 4th rotation: $4,915
  
  

Gold’s surge to $4,328 this morning thus represents a direct encounter with the third full rotation, a zone of increased vibration where short-term reversions often occur before a renewed acceleration. If this pattern holds, the next 60° projection (roughly $4,735) should align with the completion of the ongoing 90-day cycle into early November—just before the 360-day harmonic tops near year-end.

The Technical Pulse: MACD and Market Energy

The MACD (14,3,3) on the 15-minute frame reflects an emerging bullish crossover from deeply negative territory (–22), signaling that short-term energy is now expanding upward in harmony with the broader cycles. The amplitude of prior spikes around Tuesday and Friday indicates that volatility is rising, consistent with a market in early parabolic formation. This reinforces the expectation that gold’s rhythm is aligning toward a cycle crescendo within the next 30–45 days.

The Outlook: Toward the Apex of the Spiral

If gold maintains to trade above the $4,205–$4,267 pivot cluster, it remains magnetized toward the $4,460–$4,586 range. A sustained close above $4,586 would confirm the 90-day and 360-day synergy—potentially propelling price into the $4,735–$4,915 harmonic cluster before the next temporal reset.

Cycle compression across the 30–60–90–360-day spectrum suggests that the current wave is not just a reaction rally, but the third acceleration phase of the entire bull market that began in 2022. Time, price, and geometry are in convergence—precisely the condition Gann described as “the point of least resistance and maximum movement.”

Summary Outlook

Gold’s 2025 narrative is transitioning from accumulation to acceleration. The 30-day cycle has ignited; the 60-day cycle supports; the 90-day cycle expands; and the 360-day cycle projects continuation into early 2026. The Square of 9 confirms harmonic resonance at $4,586, $4,735, and $4,915—levels likely to mark the stairway toward gold’s next parabolic evolution.
