Fibonacci

What is Fibonacci?

The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones, usually starting with 0 and 1. This sequence is not just a mathematical curiosity; it has found applications in various fields, including trading. In trading, Fibonacci retracement levels are used to identify potential reversal levels. These levels are derived from the Fibonacci sequence and are used to predict the extent of a correction or pullback.

Fibonacci Retracement Levels

Fibonacci retracement levels are horizontal lines that indicate where support and resistance are likely to occur. They are calculated by taking two extreme points (usually a peak and a trough) on a chart and dividing the vertical distance by the key Fibonacci ratios of 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, and 100%. These levels are used to predict the future direction of the market.

• 23.6% - Minor retracement level
• 38.2% - Moderate retracement level
• 50% - Significant retracement level
• 61.8% - Golden retracement level
• 100% - Full retracement level

How to Use Fibonacci Retracement in Trading

Using Fibonacci retracement in trading involves identifying the trend, applying the Fibonacci retracement levels, and then looking for potential reversal points. Here are the steps:

• Identify the trend: Determine whether the market is in an uptrend or downtrend.
• Apply Fibonacci retracement levels: Use the Fibonacci tool to draw retracement levels from the recent high to the recent low (or vice versa).
• Look for reversal points: Watch for price action around the key Fibonacci levels to identify potential reversal points.
