Fibonacci Retracement Lecture

Introduction

• Speaker: Biker Boy D from the Moon The Profit Squad
• Welcome to: Zamunda University
• Encouragement: Pay attention, take notes, and ask questions

Fibonacci Sequence

• Definition: Each term is the sum of the previous two terms
  • Examples: 1 + 1 = 2, 2 + 3 = 5, 5 + 8 = 13
• Nature and Design: Found in nature, structures, flowers, even human anatomy
• Visual Representation: Creates a spiral pattern

The Golden Ratio (Phi)

• Value: Approximately 1.618
• Calculation: Divide a number in the sequence by its preceding number
  • Example: 5/3 ≈ 1.618, 55/34 ≈ 1.618

Fibonacci Retracement Levels

• Purpose: Horizontal lines indicating possible support and resistance levels
• Key Levels and Percentages:
  • 23.6%
  • 38.2%
  • 61.8% (Golden Ratio)
  • 78.6%
  • 50% (not Fibonacci but represents equilibrium)

Practical Application

• Drawing Fibonacci on Charts: TradingView
• Commonly Used Levels:
  • 0.236: Slight retracement in a strong trend
  • 0.382: Indicates a strong trend or reversal
  • 0.5: High likelihood of reversal
  • 0.618: Most likely level of reversal
  • 0.786: Last line of defense before a trend change

Examples with Charts

• Approach:
  • Identify swing highs and lows
  • Draw Fibonacci levels to find potential retracement points
• Conceptual Analogy: Tug of war between buyers and sellers

Fibonacci in Uptrends

• In an Uptrend: Go from swing low to swing high
• Key Zones for Reversal: 0.5 to 0.618 (Golden Zone)
• Indicators: Use in conjunction with other signals (e.g., support/resistance, the Strat)

Fibonacci in Downtrends

• In a Downtrend: Go from swing high to swing low
• Key Reversal Levels: Same levels apply (0.382, 0.5, 0.618)

Chart Analysis Techniques

• Time Frames:
  • Fibonacci can be applied across different time frames (Daily, Weekly, Monthly)
• Strategy for Multiple Time Frames:
  • Analyze larger trends on higher time frames, finer details on lower time frames

Fibonacci Retracement Homework

• Assignment: Practice plotting and analyzing Fibonacci retracement on various charts and time frames

Conclusion

Final Notes

• Use Fibonacci retracement as a tool to enhance trading strategies
• Pair Fibonacci with other technical analysis tools for best results
• Remember to focus on confluence and confirmation before making trades
