Gann Fan
The Gann Fan is plotted between 2 points, this technical indicator will draw a set of trend lines, these trendlines are drawn at different angles, This Fan will draw the middle line at an angle of 45 degrees as long as stock trading price is above this 45 degrees line then the energy of the upward trend will continue such as illustrated and shown below. If stock trading price moves below this line in an upward indices trend the up-ward trend momentum may be reducing.
The Gann Fan is also drawn for a downwards trend & same analysis applied to the downward direction.
