1.6 - Fibonacci & retracement zones

  • Diving a number by the next number in the sequence leads to the ratios:
    • 21/34 = 0.618
    • 21/55 = 0.382
  • Fib levels help find support and resistance based on these naturally occuring proportions
  • Should be used as another point of confluence
  • Best to watch for weakness / strength when getting close or into the zag zone.
  • Eg:
    • Bearish div on the RSI
    • Reversal pattern on smaller timeframe
    • rising into zag zone

Important fib numbers are:

  • 0
  • 0.236
  • 0.382
  • 0.5 (not technically but added anyways)
  • 0.618
  • 0.786
  • 1

When using fib retracements:

  • Use wicks when measing
