Fibonacci Retracement

Fibonacci Masterclass - Fibonacci Retracement and ExtensionHi guys, I have finally completed the thread on Fibonacci (Though it took longer than usual). I have tried with the best of my little knowledge to create this thread. This has everything you need to know about Fibonacci retracement and Fibonacci extension. Also, if the thread is free that doesn't mean I have compromised with the quality. All you have to do is just read this thread again and again until you get a good grasp of it. everything. Table of Contents: 1. What Are Fibonacci Retracement Levels? 2. Significance of Fibonacci Retracement levels 3. Finding Fibonacci Retracement Levels 4. How to use the Fibonacci retracement levels? 5. What are Fibonacci Extensions? 6. Significance of Fibonacci Extension levels 7. Finding Fibonacci Extension levels 8. Difference Between Fibonacci Retracements and Fibonacci Extensions What are Fibonacci Retracement levels? • Fibonacci retracement levels are horizontal lines that indicate areas where the price could stall or reverse. • These horizontal levels can act as a potential support or resistance levels • They are based on Fibonacci numbers. Each level is associated with a percentage which means how much of a prior move the price has retraced. • The Fibonacci retracement levels are 23.6%, 38.2%, 61.8%, and 78.6%. • While 50% is not a pure Fibonacci ratio, but it is still used as a support and resistance indicator. This is because people worldwide regard it as an important level. • The price won’t always bounce from these levels. They should be looked at as areas of interest. Hence, please use the Fibonacci retracement as a confirmation tool. Significance of Fibonacci Retracement levels Fibonacci retracements can be used to: • Place entry orders • Determine stop-loss levels • Set price targets For example , A stock may be in an uptrend. After a move up, it retraces to the 61.8% level. Then, it starts to go up again. Since the bounce occurred at a Fibonacci level during an uptrend, you can enter long positions with a stop loss just below the Fibonacci level or at the candlestick low. Finding Fibonacci Retracement levels In order to find the Fibonacci retracement levels, you have to find the recent significant Swing High and Swing Low. • For uptrends, select the Swing Low and then the Swing High. • For downtrends, select the Swing High and then the Swing Low. Example: Fibonacci retracement in an uptrend Example: Fibonacci retracement in a downtrend How to use the Fibonacci retracement levels? If the price is approaching a Fibonacci level, you should look out for the following things at the point of interaction or in the vicinity of the level. • Some reversal candlestick pattern • Volume is above average. • Moving average • RSI divergence • Previous S/R level or pivot level The trade will be a high probability trade if some of these factors create a confluence zone. What are Fibonacci Extensions? • Fibonacci extension is a tool that can be used to find price targets or estimate how far a price may move after the retracement/pullback is over. • Extension levels are also possible areas of interest where the price may stall or reverse. • It can be used to find projected areas of support or resistance when the price is moving into an area where other methods of finding support or resistance are not applicable or evident. • If in a stock, a new high/low occurs, the trader can use the Fibonacci extension levels to get an idea of where the price can go. • Fibonacci extension levels can be calculated to give the trader ideas on profit target placement. Significance of Fibonacci Extension levels: • Fibonacci extensions can be used for any timeframe and in any market- stocks, commodities, cryptocurrencies, etc. • Fibonacci extension levels indicate a price area that will be significant for the stock after the pullback/correction is over. • Extension levels can be drawn on different price waves over time. When levels from these different waves converge at one price, that could be a very important area. Finding Fibonacci Extension levels In order to find the Fibonacci extension levels, you have to find the recent significant Swing High and Swing Low. • For uptrends, click on the Swing Low and then on the Swing High. Then go to the Fibonacci setting and click on reverse. Or if your software directly has the extension tool then it’s even easier. • For downtrends, click on the Swing High and then on the Swing Low. Then go to the Fibonacci setting and click on reverse. Example: Fibonacci extension in an uptrend Example: Fibonacci extension in a downtrend Difference Between Fibonacci Retracements and Fibonacci Extensions • Fibonacci retracements provide levels for a pullback whereas Fibonacci extensions provide levels to move in the direction of the existing trend. • For instance, a stock goes from 50 to 100, and then back to 75. The move from 100 to 75 is a retracement. If the price starts rallying again and goes to 150, that is an extension because the price moved past the previous swing high which is 100 in this case.

Retracements and Expectations👨‍🏫 A students ask me to clarify a strategy I use when momentum trading using retracements in something I call the "Springboard Effect" The theory is, the deeper the retracement after the initial impulse move the less chance of an extension or "strength" of the continuation. I like to use the analogy of a Spring Board, (or diving board) and the stiffness of the board or the amount of "spring" it has 👇 🤔 Imagine we we have 4 different boards, all with a different amount of springs and we are going to drop the same amount of weight ⚖️ from the same height onto each board. When we drop the weight onto the board that has lots of springs, it wont retract far before launching the weight high 🚀 If we drop the weight on a board that has a less springs it will retract further, but have less strength to launch the weight very high 🛫 If we drop the weight onto a board that has barely any springs then it will retract a lot and then struggle to even launch the weight higher than the height it was dropped from 😤 In this analogy..... The height we dropped the weight from, is the top of the impulse move 📈 The different boards are the different fib retracement levels 🧮 The springs are the buyers at those levels 💵 How far it throws the weight is the strength or price action of the extension 💪 👉 A Bounce on the 382 tells us that there are plenty of buyers wanting to enter this market asap, this is a good sign that the extension could be strong. I like to target the 1.618 extension and or match it up to a level of resistance close by 👉 A bounce on the 50 tells me there is still a lot of bullish momentum but buyers where happy to buy it much lower, I'll still consider this bullish and target the 1.272 extension and match it up with some resistance close by or front run the level if I have to. 👉 A bounce on the 618 I dont really consider to be a strong move, I feel we will get a good bounce and may extend further, but I play close attention to the previous high incase we double top. I will look for things like candle stick reactions and use the CCI to spot divergence if momentum is lacking. 👉 A bounce on the 782 I consider a failure of the trend, I will expect buyers to still step in, but it will be a weak bounce and only really look to target other fib levels inside the retracement as potential resistance and this trade becomes more of a short term scalp. I hope this makes sense and adds some value to your trading, peace ✌️

CONFLUENCE TRADING | YOUR KEY TO ACCURATE ENTRIES 🥇 If you are struggling with the identification of accurate trading entries, you definitely should try confluence zones . Note: there are hundreds of variations of confluence elements. In this example, we will discuss trend lines and fibonnachi. ❗️To identify a confluence zone, the price must follow a trend line (it should match higher lows if the market is bullish; it should match lower highs if the market is bearish). Once the trend line is confirmed by at least two touches and consequent reactions , you can look for a confluence zone. 1️⃣Project a trend line and identify the next POTENTIAL touchpoint of the market with a trend line. 2️⃣Take the last impulse in the direction of the trend. Draw a fib retracement based on it (swing low to swing high in case if the market is bullish, swing high to swing low in case if the market is bearish). 3️⃣Take the previous impulse (it must be in the same direction as the initial one). Draw a fib retracement based on it. 4️⃣Look for a match of retracement levels of the last two impulses and a projected trend line. In case if two retracement fib.levels & trend line match, you found a confluence point. 5️⃣ Apply it as a safe entry point. You will get a perfect trend following opportunity. ❤️ Please, support this idea with a like and comment! ❤️ ⬇️ Subscribe to my social networks! ⬇️

EW FIBONACCI Ratios, FIB Retracement and Extension application !In this post, I'm going to focus on Fib Retracement and Fib Extension Ratios by Elliott Wave, and show you how to best use these tools. Fibonacci ratios are mathematical ratios derived from the Fibonacci sequence.The Fibonacci sequence is the work of Leonardo Fibonacci. Fibonacci sequence is used in many applications, movies and photography, space studies, stock market actions, and many other fields. Fibonacci is a proven approach for measure price movement relationships. For Elliott heads, it means Fibonacci numbers are tools to help guide us in our interpretation where we think price movements will go. The most common Fibonacci ratios used in the stock markets are: 1 - 1,272 - 1,618 - 2,618 -3,618- 4.23 (extension) 0.236 - 0.382 - 0.5 - 0.618 - 0.786 (retracement) Let's start with Elliott Impulsive Wave rules ! Wave 1: the beginning of each wave and retracet with Wave 2: may never retrace deeper than the beginning of wave 1 Wave 3: often the longest, but never the shortest Wave 4: may never retrace below the top of wave 1 Wave 5: x Fibonacci ratios : Wave 2 The most common retracements we look for in a Wave 2 pullback are either a 0.5 or 0.618 retracement of Wave 1 We expect only 12% of Wave 2 to hold 0,382 retracements of Wave 1 We anticipate 73% of Wave 2 retracements between 0,5 to 0,618 We anticipate 15% of Wave 2 to retrace below the 62% Wave 3 Wave 3 is related to Wave 1 Fibonacci relationships: Wave 3 is either 1,618 length of Wave 1 or 2,618 the length of Wave 1 or 4,236 the length of Wave 1 The most common multiples of Wave 1 to Wave 3 are the 1,618 and 2,618 If Wave 3 is extending, we typically look for 4,236 or higher Only approximately 2% will a Wave 3 be less than Wave 1 We anticipate 15% of Wave 3 trade between 1 and 1,618 of Wave 1 We can anticipate 45% of the time Wave 3 will push to between 1,618 and 1,75 We can anticipate 8% of Wave 3 will extend beyond 2,618 or higher Wave 4 Wave 4 is related to Wave 3 0,236 of Wave 3 or 0,382 of Wave 3 or 0,50 of Wave 3 or 0,618 of Wave 3 We can anticipate only 15% of the time Wave 4 to retrace between 0,236 to 0,382 We can anticipate 60% of the time Wave 4 to retrace between 0,382 and 0,5 We can anticipate 15% of the time Wave 4 to retrace between 0,5 and 0,618 We can anticipate 10% of the time Wave 4 retrace 0,618 or greater Wave 5 Wave 5 has two relationships. Wave 5 has a direct correlation to the Fibonacci relationship of Wave 3 1. If Wave 3 is greater than 1.62, or extended Wave 5 is a 1 to 1 or 1.618 of Wave 1 or 2,618 of Wave 1 I don't know any statistics, but in my experience a 1.618 or 1 to 1 is the most likely 2. If Wave 3 is less than 1,618. Wave 5 will often overextend.The ratio of Wave 5 will be based on the length from the beginning of Wave 1 to the top of Wave 3 Extended Wave 5 is either 0,618 from the beginning of Wave 1 to top of Wave 3 or 1,618 Unfortunately, my english is not so good and I work with google translate, but if you have any questions I will be happy to answer them . ➡️If you like my posts smash the like👍👍 button, comment or follow me.

My new fibonacci levels toolHi crypto traders, After many years of using Fibonacci retracement, my predictions started to be less relevant since Trading View started allowing to change the fib levels from regular scale to LOG scale. Since then I got confused especially with crypto that many coins 10x easily. So i decided to get my own fib levels tool (feel free to back test it on your own). Basically, I took the Fibonacci sequence numbers of 21,34,55,89 as my fib levels to watch for retracement. For the number 76, I added fib number, 21, to 55 . Then I ‘ve noticed that between 21 and 34, the difference is the UNLUCKY number 13. Number 13, it is also the difference between 76 and 89. This gave me a confirmation that 76 is an important level to watch even if it is not a fib level. Hopefully this is helpful for some people out there. From now on, I will be using those levels for my chart analysis. Stay safe!

Educational: AB=CD pattern w/ BTC exampleOne fairly easy and useful pattern for determining reversals is the AB=CD pattern. The pattern simply looks for two rising or falling legs up or down respectively. Then one simply measures the retracement level from point B followed by the projection from C (luckily tradingview has a tool to assist with this). If these values equal a 0.618 or 0.786 retracement followed by a 1.272 or 1.618 projection respectively, the pattern is likely to indicate a reversal of the current trend. For example, above we can clearly see the pattern almost perfectly matched the required levels of 0.618 and 1.272. However, no pattern is guaranteed, so it is always recommended to seek out confirmation. As we can see in the above example, there is bearish reversal divergence that can be seen on both RSI and MACD (dotted green lines), whereby price is rising while oscillators are falling, indicating an even greater likelihood for a reversal. Upon confirmation of a reversal, one can then target Fibonacci retracement levels as key points of interest as can be seen above. A nice part about this pattern is how simple it is to spot and draw out particularly with tools available on tradingview. Hopefully you are able to use this pattern as another useful tool in your arsenal!

How to use FIBONACCI TOOL1. Find a suitable trend / swing You can basically find trends in every chart. The fibonacci tool achieves the best results with strong trend movements. So look for strong impulses! 2. Detect the start and the end of the trend The Fibonacci can be used variably. In my experience, the longer swings work better. 3. Drag the fibonacci tool from the start to the end point Select the Fibonacci tool (shortcut ALT + F). Drag the tool from the start point to the end point. You can change and adapt the tool at any time. 4. Detect the most important levels 0.236 Retracement: - Suitable for high momentum trades. The trend should show high volume. 0.5 Retracement: - The most important and effective retracement. It shows the average movement and many traders buy at half the price. 0.618 Retracement: - Very effective in conjunction with the 0.5 retracement. The zone between the retracements is very often a support. 5. Use the levels to trade pullbacks The retracements are generally not a 100% probability of a successful trade. The interaction with other indicators and technical aspects is key.

TOP 5 Tools To TradeHi traders! Working process of any trader is usually related with usage of different tolls. These tools are invnted to make traders’ life easier. For instance, you shouldn’t just build lines of support and resistance by yourselves, just choose 3 main points and use Fib ExtensionMany of you asked us, what tools we usually use in our daily stuff. Well, we use many different indicators, oscillators and other tools like Fiba, Pivots and so one. Today, we’ll give TOP-5 tools, that’ll make your trading activity easier and more efficient. Fibonacci retracement Fibonacci retracement levels are horizontal lines that indicate where support and resistance are likely to occur. They are based on Fibonacci numbers. Each level is associated with a percentage. The percentage is how much of a prior move the price has retraced. The Fibonacci retracement levels are 23.6%, 38.2%, 61.8%, and 78.6%. While not officially a Fibonacci ratio, 50% is also used. The indicator is useful because it can be drawn between any two significant price points, such as a high and a low. The indicator will then create the levels between those two points. Suppose the price of a stock rises $10 and then drops $2.36. In that case, it has retraced 23.6%, which is a Fibonacci number. Fibonacci numbers are found throughout nature. Therefore, many traders believe that these numbers also have relevance in financial markets. How to use? Put the first point to lower low, the second to the higher high or vice versa. Fibonacci extension Fibonacci extensions are a tool that traders can use to establish profit targets or estimate how far a price may travel after a retracement/pullback is finished. Extension levels are also possible areas where the price may reverse. Fibonacci extensions are a way to establish price targets or find projected areas of support or resistance when the price is moving into an area where other methods of finding support or resistance are not applicable or evident. To study it accurately, read our Fiba Extension From Scratch (link in the description). Pivot Point A pivot point is a technical analysis indicator, used to determine the overall trend of the market over different time frames. The pivot point itself is simply the average of the intraday high and low, and the closing price from the previous trading day. In fact, price above the pivot point is thought to indicate ongoing bullish trend, while price below the pivot point indicates bearish one. The pivot point is the basis for the indicator, but it also includes other support and resistance levels that are projected based on the pivot point calculation. All these levels help traders see where the price could experience support or resistance. Similarly, if the price moves through these levels it lets the trader know the price is trending in that direction. Commonly, traders use Pivot Points as support and resistance levels as well as stop-loss levels. In the combine with oscillators (MFI, OBV, etc.) and Fiba levels we invent efficient strategies. Ichimoku One of the most informative indicator in world of trading. It can give you both support/resistance levels and sell buy signals. Out crew uses it every day. However, many traders consider it rather difficult to interpret. If you want to know more about it and use it as efficient as it’s possible, check out our articles (link in description) Pitchfork Andrews' Pitchfork can be used by traders to establish profitable opportunities and swing possibilities. On a long-term basis, Pitchfork can be used to identify and gauge overall cycles that impact underlying spot activity. In general, traders will purchase the asset when the price falls near the support of either the center trendline or the lowest trendline. Conversely, they'll sell the asset when it approaches the resistance of either the center line or the highest trendline. Even though the center line can be used to identify areas where a security may find support or resistance, it is generally not as strong as the two outside lines. In practice, the levels identified by this indicator are very useful for identifying strategic positions for stop-loss orders. To apply the pitchfork, you should choose the pivot of “trend start” (A on the chart). Than, chose the significant maximum(B on the chart) and significant minimum.

FIB your way to SUCCESS! In his historic 13th century novel Liber Abaci (Book of the Abacus), Leonardo Fibonacci brought a special sequence of numbers known as the Fibonacci series to Western civilization. Before we look into how Fibonacci numbers and ratios are used in the financial markets to predict future support and resistance levels, let's have a look at where they came from and how they were created. A simple mathematical expression that describes a Fibonacci series is given as follows: F(n+1)=Fn+ F(n-1) where Fn represents the current number, F(n-1)the previous number, and F(n+1) the next number in the Fibonacci series. Any integer in the Fibonacci series is the sum of its two previous whole numbers, regardless of how it is represented mathematically. Starting with F(n-1) = 0 as the previous number and Fn = 1 as the current number in the sequence, we can get F(n+1), the next number in the Fibonacci series, by repeating or iterating the process for each new Fn: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, ... The ratio of the current Fibonacci number to its immediate previous number, that is, the ratio (F(n+1)/Fn) or (Fn/F(n-1)), is a special and somewhat mysterious characteristic of the Fibonacci sequence. When we move farther out into the Fibonacci sequence, this ratio reaches 1.618 (to three decimal places). In truth, it turns out that it doesn't matter which two numbers were chosen to start the series in the first place. It will still hit 1.618 as we proceed along with the list! This unique ratio is referred to as the Golden Ratio, or "Phi" . We already know that Phi = 1.618 (to three decimal places). Here are some other important ratios related to Phi: a. (1/Phi) = 0.382 b. Phi x Phi = 2.618 c. (2/Phi)-1 =0.236 d. √ (1/Phi) = 0.786 e. √ Phi = 1.272 The items in this list of Phi‐related ratios are regarded as significant ratios in technical analysis and are used widely by technical traders and analysts. Fibonacci Retracements, Extensions, and Projections Fibonacci numbers and ratios are often used to time future market reversals, or as time forecasts, as we can see in the following pages. Before going any further, it's a good idea to define the terms retracement, extension and projections in broad terms. Price Retracements A market drop or reversal from a significant high, or a rebound from a significant trough, is referred to as a retracement . The amount of retracement is normally expressed as a percentage of the observed price range, and is calculated by comparing the peak to a previous significant trough or a trough to a previous significant peak. In other words, we have both downside and upside retracements. Popular Fibonacci percentage retracements include: a. 23.6 percent b. 38.2 percent c. 61.8 percent d. 78.6 percent Price Extensions A downside extension is any downside retracement that is greater than 100 percent, that is, the downside retracement extends below the previous significant trough, that is, beyond the observed price range. In similar fashion, an upside extension is any upside retracement that is greater than 100 percent, that is, the upside retracement extends above the previous significant peak that is beyond the observed price range. Popular Fibonacci price percentage extension levels include: a. 127.2 percent b. 161.8 percent c. 261.8 percent d. 361.8 percent e. 423.6 percent f. 461.8 percent Price Projection An upside price projection is a projection of an observed price range from a higher significant trough. A 100 percent price projection is simply a one to one (1:1) projection of the observed price range from some new higher significant trough. Similarly, Fibonacci downside price projections use the phi‐related percentages for forecasting potential support in a downtrend. The main Fibonacci percentages associated with projections are: a. 61.8 percent b. 161.8 percent c. 261.8 percent d. 361.8 percent e. 423.6 percent f. 461.8 percent Trade with care.

fibonacci extensions / retracements - how to and where to applyFibonacci tools are in general a method of technical analysis for determining probable support and resistance levels calculated using ratios (23.6%, 38.2%, 61.8%, and 78.6%) that are derived from Fibonacci sequence (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, …). Fibonacci levels are presented in variety of forums, such as horizontal lines, vertical lines, trend channels , fans , arcs, circles, even a spiral. Fibonacci levels also arise in other ways within technical analysis, for example, one of the best known and widely used Elliott Wave theory In this article we will have a closer look to Fibonacci Extensions and Fibonacci Retracements Fibonacci Retracement and Fibonacci Extension levels are in the form of horizontal lines and are calculated in almost similar manner with slight difference. Even tough they look like similar to each other they are quite different and serve for different purpose.   👉 Fibonacci retracement levels indicate how deep a retracement could be, that is, aims to measure the pullbacks within a trend   👉 Fibonacci extension levels indicate how far the next price wave could move following a pullback, that is, aims to measure the impulse waves in the direction of the trend How to apply Fibonacci Retracement and Fibonacci Extension These levels should not be relied on exclusively,Reversals can be confirmed with candlesticks, momentum indicators, volume or chart patterns. Here are the links of educational posts and indicator versions of the Fibonacci Tools that I made, you are kindly invited to check Auto Fib Channels, besides Auto Fib Channels this study include Auto Fib Retracement, Auto Fib Extension and Auto ZigZag indicator Auto Pitchfork, is advised due to its similarities with Auto Fib Channels and also it includes Auto Fib Retracement and Auto ZigZag indicator Auto Fib Speed and Resistance Fans, is an important tool to identify probable support and resistance and especially a powerful tool to identify reversals and retracement levels.

how to apply fib channels and auto fib channels studyThe Fibonacci Channel is a technical analysis tool that is used to estimate support and resistance levels based on the Fibonacci numbers. It is a variation of the Fibonacci retracement tool, except with the channel the lines run diagonally rather than horizontally. The tool is used to aid in identifying where support and resistance may develop in the future. If the uptrend is expected to continue, the 100%, 161.8%, and other higher levels are potential price targets. The same concept applies to downtrends if a downtrend is expected to continue In an uptrend, the zero-line is like a normal trendline, helping to assess the overall trend direction. If the price falls below it, it may need to be adjusted based on more recent price action, or it could signal that the uptrend is over and that the price is breaking lower. Similarly in a downtrend, the zero-line also acts like a trendline. When the price is below it, it helps confirm the downtrend. If the price moves above it, the indicator may need to be redrawn or the price is moving higher out of its downtrend Difference Between Fibonacci Channels and Andrew's Pitchfork Both these indicators attempt to predict future support and resistance levels based on price levels from the past. Fibonacci channels attempt to do this with percentages of a selected price move. Those percentages are then projected out into the future. Andrew's Pitchfork is simpler in some ways as the angled lines are based on three price levels selected the trader and then extended out into the future.

how to apply fibonacci fans and auto FibFans studyFibonacci Speed and Resistance Fan is an analytical drawing tool used to indicate the support and resistance levels of an existing trend and the price level at which possible changes in the trend may occur. A Fibonacci Speed Resistance Fan consists of a trend line drawn between two extreme points - a trough and opposing peak or a peak and opposing trough - on which a set of sequential speed resistance lines are drawn above (which represents time) and below (which represents price). These lines are drawn based on time/price percentages of the distance between the beginning and the end of the trend line. Speed resistance lines not only help to measure trend corrections but also measure the speed of a trend (the rate at which a trendline ascends or descends) Traders can use the lines of the Fibonacci Speed and Resistance Fan to predict key points of resistance or support, at which they might expect price trends to reverse. Once a trader identifies patterns within a chart, they can use those patterns to predict future price movements and future levels of support and resistance. Traders use the predictions to time their trades Nobody appears to know whether Fibonacci tools work because markets exhibit some form of natural pattern or because many investors use Fibonacci ratios to predict price movements, making them a self-fulfilling prophecy. In any event, key support and resistance levels tend to occur frequently at the 61.8-percent level (0.618) on both uptrends and downtrends Fibonacci Speed and Resistance Fans vs. Gann Fans Gann fans are another form of technical analysis based on the idea that the market is geometric and cyclical in nature. A Gann fan consists of a series of trend lines called Gann angles. Instead of relying on Fibonacci's golden ratio of 1.618, Gann believed the 45-degree angle (geometric angles of time versus price) to be most important. The Gann fan subsequently draws additional angles at 82.5, 75, 71.25, 63.75, 26.25, 18.75, 15, and 7.5 degrees. These angles are superimposed over a price chart to show potential support and resistance levels Step By Step Applying Fibonacci Speed and Resistance Fan Some interpretation examples: Example of how to identify if the move is Reversal or Retracement All the above are now available with the Auto Fibonacci Speed and Resistance Fans Study ʙʏ DGT ☼☾, LINK to Auto Fibonacci Speed and Resistance Fans Study

Dead Cat Bounce ScenarioHello, dear subscribers! Today we are going to examine a very interesting chart pattern which can help you to find the hidden danger in the market. The dead cat bounce is the reverse bearish pattern, hence the market should be in the uptrend before it's formation. After the swing high point is reached the sharp price drop usually follows. When we are able to identify the swing low we shoud measure the first bounce height. For this purpose we can use the Fibonacci retracement levels from the swing high to the swing low. For the traditional markets it is typically used the 0.5 Fibonacci level, but on the cryptomarkets the 0.61 level can be used too due to high volatility. If the price was unable to close above this Fibonacci level during the first bounce, there is a high probability of dead cat bounce scenario, when the price continue to fall and the global downtrend changes the uptrend. We use the current Bitcoin price action to illustrate this pattern. There is a big danger now to execute exactly this scenario. Please, be careful!

EUR/AUD Buy Trade Education ReviewHere I'd just like to go over a great buy position on EUR/AUD. We know the pair is in a long term downtrend. This doesn't mean we can't take intraday buys on the pair providing we target sensible levels. Here we are highlighting how a trendline can be utilised as dynamic resistance. The fibonacci level drawn from our 1hr swing low to high shows that our 0.764 level coincides with our descending trendline and adds confluence to the buy position. Never trade off fibonacci levels alone, but as confluence and to help you manage trades they are absolutely fine. We can see our sensible target is the previous 1hr swing high.

EDUCATION: Logarithm Growth Curve Hello, dear subscribers! Today we are going to examine very simple and intersting instrument which is applicable for the global price movement analysis. The logarithm growth curve is based on Fibonacchi retracement levels. As it is known the Fib retracement based on swing high and low levels. But in case of growth curve we use the logarithm scale to take in account the periods of the fast growth (to the moon periods). The price usually faces with difficulties to break through the Fibonacci levels. We can notice massive pullbacks near these levels or the price growth in cases of breakouts. Let's consider the current situation on the Bitcoin market. There is a rejection of 50% Fibonacci level. Now we should observe if the price break through this level or the drop began now. If the first scenario occurs we can see a massive growth to 61% or 100% Fibonacci levels.

How to Properly Use the Fibonacci Retracement ToolI've recently come across a lot of posts where the fibonacci retracement tool was erroneously used, and this gave me a good idea for an educational post. Introduction: The Fibonacci Sequence - Before talking about fibonacci retracements, it's important to understand what fibonacci sequences are. - Fibonacci sequences are numbers that are equal to the sum of the preceding two numbers, starting with 0 and 1. - So a fibonacci sequence would look like this: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, and so on. - The fibonacci sequence is also known as nature's code, as these numbers are commonly found among nature as well. The number of petals of flowers is a prime example. The Fibonacci Ratio - The fibonacci ratio is derived by dividing the numbers within the fibonacci sequence - The 0.618 (61.8%) for instance, is approximately the value when we divide 21 by 34, and 55 by 89 - The 0.382 (38.2%) ratio is calculated by dividing a number by another number located two spots to the right. - The 0.236 (23.6%) is calculated by dividing a number by another one three spots to the right. - Just like the fibonacci sequence, fibonacci ratios are commonly found in nature as well, through flowers, galaxy formations, and spirals on shells Fibonacci Retracement - The fibonacci retracement is a tool in which horizontal lines are drawn to help traders identify support and resistance - These horizontal lines are based on the fibonacci ratios - Interestingly enough, just as the fibonacci ratios are commonly found in nature, they are also found in the market, reflected by charts - A fibonacci retracement can be identified by connecting the swing high to the swing low of a downtrend, and the swing low to swing high of an uptrend - The connection between the high and low points are where most traders get confused. Application - On the left hand chart, we can see that the swing high has been connected with the swing low - As a result, we could identify possible resistance levels for Bitcoin's bullrun in 2019. - Prices touched the 0.618 fib resistance level , and eventually attempted to break the 0.5 fib, but failed - We can also see that the 0.382 and 0.786 levels played a key role as support and resistance - On the right hand chart, we can see the swing low connected to the swing high - Based on the fib levels of this retracement, we could identify strong support at the 0.786 level, around $4k. Conclusion The fibonacci retracement tool can be a very effective way to identify areas of support and resistance , but they need to be applied correctly. Don't forget to connect the swing highs and lows based on the trend! If you like this educational post, please make sure to like, and follow for more quality content!

Fibonacci Levels - Rocket Bomb's EDU post 🔥Hi guys, as I promised, this post is about Fibonacci Levels for YOU!🧡 Leonardo Fibonacci is a great mathematician who lived in the XI century. The scientist deduced a number of natural numbers, which later began to bear his name. Each number in the series was the sum of the two previous numbers: 1 + 1 = 2; 1 + 2 = 3; 2 + 3 = 5 etc. The result is a series of numbers: 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, etc. Fibonacci numbers have some properties: 📌Division of any number of the series into the subsequent tends to 0.618 (the golden ratio in ancient Greek and ancient Egyptian cultures); 📌dividing any number of the series by the next + 1 tends to 0.382; 📌dividing the subsequent number of the series by the previous one tends to 1.618; 📌division of the number of the series by the second number preceding it tends to 2.618. Fibonacci numbers are often used not only in technical analysis , but also in physics, astronomy and other disciplines.💪🏻 Fibonacci levels are a tool that sets horizontal support and resistance levels on the price chart based on price movement. It's important to understand, that Fibo levels work well when there is a trend in the market. How to determine Fibonacci levels? To determine Fibonacci levels, you need to find the recent significant high and low of the last price movement. When plotting levels for a downtrend, the first point should be at the maximum and the second at the minimum. For an uptrend, you need to do the opposite. Click on the low of the price swing and drag the cursor to the high. In this case, the construction of levels always occurs from left to right. How to trade by Fibonacci levels? The basic variant with an upward movement: we determined the minimum and maximum, set the levels, waited for a rollback, entered the market. The price continues to move - we drag the levels to a new maximum, wait for our rollback level, and enter the market. In a downward movement, we do the same, entering a movement on a pullback. The technical analysis usually uses the number 0.618 or 61.8%, 0.382 or 38.2%, as well as the psychological half (middle) of 50%. ✔ Very often, based on these coefficients in the technical analysis of the market, Fibonacci lines, Fibonacci levels and Fibonacci periods are built. Fibonacci lines are built relative to significant highs / lows and represent support or resistance lines, from which they make a purchase or sale. Fibonacci numbers - the magic of numbers that works in trading and in everyday life . 💥You can simply draw arbitrary horizontal lines on the chart, and ... oh that's mystic... they will also be worked out both in the past and in the future.💥 We can make some conclusions: 🔵Fibonacci tool draws support and resistance lines on the chart based on price movement; 🔵the Fibonacci tool is always applied on the price chart from left to right, both in the case of long positions in an uptrend, and in the case of short positions in a downtrend; 🔵the levels marked between the beginning and the end of the price movement are correction levels, they show which levels the price is likely to return to; 🔵the most common Fibonacci retracement levels are 38.2%, 50% and 61.8%, they are often used to enter the market; 🔵there are two ways to use correction levels to enter the market: aggressive (entry at each of the levels) and passive (waiting for the price to correct in the originally observed direction); 🔵It's important to note that Fibonacci levels are not a trading system, they are an additional tool that only suggests possible correction levels; it should be used only in combination with a trading system or as part of a trading system. I hope everything was clear for You, and You found this post as helpful🙏🏻 I really wanna be useful to you, guys! I make every post with love and it brings me extraordinary pleasure!🙏🏻 Thank you for staying with me💋 Always sincere with You🧡 Your Rocket Bomb🚀💣
