Crypto Gann Level Cross: Pairs That Closed Through a Square of 9 Level

Level at angle A = (√start ± A ÷ 180)². Moving 45° adds 0.25 to the square root, 90° adds 0.5, 180° adds 1 and 360° adds 2. Add for resistance above the start, subtract for support below it. From BTCUSDT's 8 November 2026 close of 75,908.65, √ = 275.52; adding 0.25 and squaring gives 76,046.47, the first resistance at 45°.

• Crossed Rx - yesterday's close below the level, today's close above it.
• Crossed Sx - yesterday's close above, today's close below.
• Only the furthest level crossed is listed, with the next one in the same direction; after R4 or S4 that is the 360° level.
• On Volume - the day's volume was more than 1.5 times the average of the previous 20 days.

What changes on crypto

• Few pairs can cross anything. A pair whose first level is 15% or more away needs a very big day to appear. In practice the list is BTC, ETH, BNB, SOL and LTC.
• BTC can go past the 360°. With steps of 0.18%, BTC's whole ladder sits within about ±1.5% of the previous close. On a 5% day the close is beyond the 360° level, yet the row still lists S4 (or R4) with the 360° as "next". To Next % then has the opposite sign to the direction: a positive figure on an S row means price is already past the 360°.

On 30 October 2026 the crypto market fell hard, and every live pair except the stablecoin, 32 in all, passed the liquidity rule. Four of them crossed a level; the other 28 crossed nothing, and for 27 of those the first level above was 15% or more away.

• BNBUSDT - fell 6.10% to 698.65 from 744.07, through S1 (730.49), S2 (717.04) and S3 (703.72). Listed: S3, next S4 at 690.51, To Next −1.16%, volume 5.70×. On Volume.
• ETHUSDT - fell 4.49% to 2,230.34 from 2,335.30, through S4 at 2,239.65. Next: Bearish 360° at 2,146.00, −3.78% away. Volume 2.85×.
• SOLUSDT - fell 6.71% to 94.06, through S1 at 95.86. Next: S2 at 91.03, −3.22%. Volume 2.77×. For SOL, one 45° step was a 6.7% day.
• BTCUSDT - fell 4.78% to 76,918.91, through S4 (80,216.55) and past the Bearish 360° (79,651.10) as well. Listed: S4, next Bearish 360°, To Next +3.55%, because the close is already 3.55% below it. Volume 2.53×.

All four came on more than 1.5 times their usual volume, so the On Volume tab held the whole list.

1. Check the side. Crossed R is upside, Crossed S downside. A close back through the crossed level cancels the reading.
2. Check the participation. On Volume separates crosses that a lot of traders took part in from quiet drifts.
3. Measure the room. Compare To Next % with the pair's normal daily range (ATR %). BNB's 1.16% to S4 was about a third of its usual 3.5% day: little room left.
4. Watch the sign on BTC. A positive To Next on an S row (negative on an R row) says the day overshot the full turn. The next level on the page is behind price, so look to the Square of 9 page with Start = LTP for tomorrow's levels.
5. Read the list as a whole. When BTC, ETH and BNB all cross S levels on volume on the same day, a long idea in a smaller coin is fighting the market.

These are ideas to study, paper-trade and backtest, not recommendations or signals, and not a promise of any result. Every condition below can fail. Crypto trades around the clock and can move sharply at any hour; leverage and options can lose more than you expect, and past behaviour says nothing certain about the next session. Size, entries, exits and risk are your own decisions.

1. A cross on volume, with room

• Setup: a pair on both a Crossed tab and On Volume, with To Next % larger than about half its normal day.
• Reading: the crossed level becomes the first line to hold; the next level is the natural target.
• Invalidation: a daily close back through the crossed level.

2. The overshoot on BTC

• Setup: BTC listed with S4 or R4 and a To Next % that points the wrong way, like 30 October.
• Idea: a day that runs through a full turn is stretched by BTC's own standard. Study whether the next days came back towards the crossed 360° level before going further, rather than chasing the close.

3. Retest after a big cross

After a cross of R3, R4, S3 or S4, wait for the next days to come back to the crossed level and hold it. ETH's S4 at 2,239.65 was the line to watch after 30 October: a close back above it would have undone the break.

How to test these

Pick past days, note the crosses with and without volume, and record how often the next level was reached before price closed back through the crossed one. Keep BTC separate: its levels are so close that it behaves like a different instrument.

Risk per trade - risk a small, fixed share of capital on any one idea. Crypto never closes, so a stop is the only exit while you sleep; with leverage, keep the liquidation price well beyond the stop. When selling options, prefer defined-risk structures (spreads, iron condors) over naked positions.

Test before you trade - write the rules down exactly, test them on past data (see how to backtest an options strategy and the Option Simulator, which supports crypto), then paper-trade at least 20 occurrences before committing real money. Keep a journal of every trade, including the ones you skipped.

• Tabs - All, Crossed R, Crossed S and On Volume. The list is sorted by volume ratio, highest first.
• Level Crossed / Level Value - which level and its price.
• Next Level / Next Value / To Next % - the next level in the same direction and its distance from the close.
• Vol Ratio - today's volume against the average of the previous 20 days.
• Chart - the levels drawn on the daily candles; click a row for its Gann squares.

• Pairs. The live USDT pairs in Unfluke's crypto archive (34 on 8 November 2026). A pair whose 20-day average range is under 0.25% of price is not scanned, which is meant to keep stablecoins out; after a few wide wicks in late October 2026, USDCUSDT was briefly back on some lists.
• Liquidity first. A pair is listed only if its 20-day average turnover is above US$500,000, today's turnover above US$100,000, and today's volume above 0.8× the average of the previous 20 days. There is no circuit rule; crypto has no price bands.
• Days. Daily candles are IST calendar days, 00:00 to 23:59, rolled up from the one-minute Binance spot archive. Everything is end of day, and the newest day is topped up during the day, so it can be partial until 23:59 IST.
• Quiet days empty the page. The volume rule compares a day with the 20 before it, and weekends trade less. On Saturday 7 November 2026 one pair passed; on Sunday 8 November none did, so every Gann page was empty. Signed-in users can pick an earlier session date.
• Universe. All, Futures (pairs with a perpetual future in the archive) or Options (BTC and ETH).
• Look-back. The swing-based pages read about 400 days of history. One extreme candle, such as the crash of 10 to 11 October 2025 when several altcoins printed lows near zero on Binance, stays in that window for over a year and can dominate the swings measured from it. If a row's swing dates point at a crash day, read it with care.

Gann levels, angles and cycles are research references. They describe geometry on a price chart, not a forecast, and prices move through them regularly.
