How Fibonacci retracement works

In trading, these ratios are also known as retracement levels. Traders wait for prices to approach these Fibonacci levels and act according to their strategy. Usually, they look for a reversal signal on these widely watched retracement levels before opening their positions. The most commonly used of the three levels is the 0.618 – the inverse of the golden ratio (1.618), denoted in mathematics by the Greek letter.

How to draw Fibonacci retracement levels
Drawing Fibonacci retracement levels is a simple three-step process:

In a downtrend: (reverse for uptrend)
Step 1 – Identify the direction of the market: downtrend
Step 2 – Attach the Fibonacci retracement tool on the top and drag it to the right, all the way to the bottom
Step 3 – Monitor the three potential resistance levels: 0.236, 0.382 and 0.618

Trading using Fibonacci retracements
Every trader, especially beginners, dreams of mastering the Fibonacci theory. A lot of traders use it to identify potential support and resistance levels on a price chart which suggests reversal is likely. Many enter the market just because the price has reached one of the Fibonacci ratios on the chart. That is not enough! It is better to look for more signals before entering the market, such as reversal Japanese Candlestick formations or Oscillators crossing the base line or even a Moving Average confirming your decision.

Please look on chart: I wait for price action to break out of a range then pull back into range action- then look for trend to start (like chart downtrend)
