1/What is Fibonnaci (Fibo) retracement?:

•Fibo retracement levels help us to identify potential reversal area or identifying potential entry point after a pullback.

•It represents various levels of significance within a swing high and low.

2/How to plot the Fibo?

•Spot the recent swing high & swing low (usually a peak & a low) on a chart.

•Plot the Fibo on these points.

•You'll get 5 key levels of support & resistance (S/R) in between the peak & low.

•Key Fibonacci ratios: 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, & 100%.

3/ Importance of retracement levels:

• The retracement level forecast can determine the level at which retracement is likely to occur.

• These retracement levels offer traders a favourable entry to open new trades in the direction of the trend.

4/ When to apply Fibo:

•Fibonacci analysis can be applied when there is a noticeable up-move or down-move in prices.

•Applying it in range bound markets would turn out to be a futile exercise.
