## Circle the 29th
The call centers on gold around September 29. Blue lines on the chart mark Kihon-suchi, the basic time numbers Ichimoku traders watch for turns.

> Keep your eye on gold around the 29th.
## The bulls are on a clock
The stretch up to Kihon-42 is a time lease for buyers. They need a higher high inside it to prove a real trend, and if it doesn't come by Kihon-33 the odds drop hard.

> The period up to Kihon-42 is a time lease for the bulls.
## Kakugi, from a Japanese text
The method comes from Hidenobu Sasaki's Ichimoku Kinko Studies, which the author translated. Kakugi takes a prior lease's span, the Kihon-kei, and shifts it onto the new one.
## When a Hengi meets a Kihon
Kihon intervals flag a Henka-bi, a day of change. Kakugi produces a Hengi, a heavier turning point. A Hengi landing on a Kihon interval is a Jūgi, and those are rare.

> A Jūgi is an extremely rare confluence.
## No cloud, no floor
A Kumo twist arrives just before the 29th, so there is almost no cloud left to catch a falling price. Stack that on weak buyers and the downside opens up.

> There is basically no cloud to offer support should gold go down.
## How to play it, or not
A drop would set up shorts in gold ETFs and miners. It could also amount to nothing, which is why the author leans on preparation rather than prediction.

> In matters of analysis, fortune favors the prepared mind.
## Key takeaway

Time analysis says the bulls have until Kihon-42 to make a higher high, and the odds fall off a cliff after Kihon-33.
