By
name Fibonacci seems so complex but what if I tell you that all your
surroundings, your body, your planet on which u live, the whole
galaxy is configured itself as per the series which was invented by a
mad man named Leonardo Fibonacci in 1202 when he was observing
rabbits breed. This series has find importance in many facets of
nature till now.
The
series is as follows: - 0,
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34….and so on.
What do we see? Each number in the series is the summation of the
previous two numbers. For example 2= 1+1, 13= 8+5 etc.
Even
the human anatomy is full of Fibonacci numbers or ratios.
The core human body has five outlets (two hands, two legs and one
head), and each outlet has five other outlets. For instance, the head
and legs culminate in five, in turn, fingers (including thumb). The
head has five ‘outlets’ in the form of two nostrils, two ears and
one mouth.
I
won’t say that occurrence of Fibonacci numbers are universal but
there occurrence are large enough that cannot be ignored!
The
ratio of each number to its succeeding number tends towards 0.618.
The ratio of each number to its second succeeding number tends
towards 0.382 and so on.
Here
comes this magical series relevance in the magnificent industry of
financial markets. Traders study chart and we know that market moves
are very similar to moves of a crawling snake. Often market moves in
trend’s (up: down) but as we study in books they are not exactly
the same when we look at live markets.
Market
retraces itself when we study it for a particular time frame. Even
most of the times market bounce back at the levels defined by this
series. Most common are 61.8, 50.0, 38.6, and 23.6.
Now
it sounds good as now by analyzing market based on these levels we
can predict when bulls will take the charge in falling market. It is
like being god of the market. Isn’t it?
The
Fibonacci levels are used by jobbers and scalpers at large scales to
buy on dips in up-trend and sell on rallies in down-trend and we use
the Fibonacci levels in pivot point analysis also.
There
are more tools that can be seen in state of the art software’s of
big boys (research companies) in financial market. We should use at
least 3-4 of them as ultimately we want good decision to be made!
