🌟 Capital Market Chronicles – Episode 270: TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – FIBONACCI RETRACEMENT (Part V)

“Powerful tool. Terrible idol.” ⚠️📐

Fibonacci retracement is one of the most respected tools in technical analysis — but let’s be clear:

it’s a guide, not a crystal ball. 🔮

Used with logic and discipline, it adds structure to chaos.
Used blindly, it becomes decorative chart art. 🎨😅

🛠 Best Practices (How Pros Use Fibonacci)

✔ Use multiple timeframes
A level visible on daily and weekly charts carries more weight than a lonely intraday line.

✔ Look for confluence
Fibonacci + support/resistance + trendline + volume = confidence boost 📈

✔ Treat levels as zones, not laser points
Markets breathe. Prices rarely reverse at the exact level — give them room.

✔ Combine with trend & momentum indicators
RSI, MACD, moving averages — Fibonacci works best with good company.

❌ Common Mistakes (How Traders Get Hurt)

🚫 Forcing Fibonacci on every chart
🚫 Expecting textbook-perfect reversals
🚫 Ignoring trend, news, or volatility

If everything looks like a Fibonacci level… you’ve drawn too many lines. 😬

📊 Fibonacci in Action (Simple, Realistic Example)

Uptrend from 80 → 100
Price pulls back to 38.2% (~93)
Support holds, buyers step in
Trend resumes upward 🚀

That’s Fibonacci at its best —
highlighting probable opportunity, not promising profits.

🧠 Final Takeaway

Fibonacci retracement doesn’t predict the market —
it frames trader behaviour.

Used correctly, it improves:
✔ Timing
✔ Risk management
✔ Emotional discipline

Used blindly… it’s just colourful lines fighting for attention.

And remember —
The market respects preparation, not prediction. 📉📈
