Fibonacci Numbers: From Bunnies to Wall Street

1202ish: Leonardo Fibonacci studied mathematical formula and discovered a series of numbers that acts like a natural harmonic function.

One of the early uses was an attempt to solve for the propagation ability of rabbits which gave birth to the system of numbers that Fibonacci is known for today. This became known as the Golden Ratio around the irrational number Phi: 1.618

It seemed that humans subconsciously react around the multiples of the Fibonacci.

Charles Dow first observed that stocks tend to retrace 1/3 to 2/3’s of trending moves. Turns out that what Dow observed was price reacting around the Fibonacci retracement numbers of 0.382, 0.50, 0.618

Fibonacci Numbers: Types of Indicators

Time: Fibonacci times zones provide general changes in the trend areas in relation to time. Time zones are most appropriate to a long-dated analysis of price variation and are very likely to be of limited value while studying short-dated charts.

Retracement: The Fibonacci retracement is the potential retracement of a financial asset's original move in price. Fibonacci retracements use horizontal lines to indicate areas of support or resistance at the key Fibonacci levels before it continues in the original direction.

Extensions: Levels used in Fibonacci retracement to forecast areas of support or resistance. Extensions consist of all levels drawn beyond the standard 100% level and are used by many traders to determine areas where they will wish to take profits.

Arcs and Fans: The Fibonacci fan is a three-line guide originating from the Fibonacci number series. It can assist in identifying the next areas of support and resistance. The zones, indicated by the fan, can forecast areas of retraction in market trends.


Fibonacci Numbers: How to Use Them

Swing Highs/Lows: Any timeframe. Longer term charts lend themselves to stronger levels and timeframes

Look for Groupings: When applying Fibonacci’s across multiple timeframes and at different swing high/low combination will result in groupings that may identify more significant levels of support/resistance

Do they always work? No, but Fibonacci’s do provide clues and ideas on where price action may either slow or reverse.

Fibonacci Numbers: Using Retracements, Extensions & Time

1. Provides unseen levels of support or resistance

2. Tends to identify where traders react (time & price)

3. Should be used with other clues (TSI, Momentum, Candles)

4. Failure of a level increases the probability that price will reach the next level

5. Definable targets and stops
