What is a Measured Move?


Simply put, a measured move is a method where you measure areas of price action to predict the next move. They're very reliable because what you see on your chart represents two things: mob mentality and math. That's all it is. I was talking about chart patterns with a friend, and he said, "Oh, to me that just looks like a bunch of lines and squiggles."

And I replied, it is lines and squiggles, but behind every single line and every single squiggle is the mob. It's the market. It's human emotion and it's math. It's Fibonacci, it's Gann. It's all these things we see elsewhere in nature presented to you in the form of price action on a chart. And don't dismiss human nature as a driving factor in what happens on a chart. When you're looking at a massive move on a price chart, you're seeing human emotion in that move, and it's either fear or greed—but it's emotion, make no mistake.

So, when you're looking for measured move targets, you're looking for the next logically human-nature-driven mathematical target on a chart, and you're using previous price action to define it. That's what measured moves are.
