What is the significance of 1.27 retracement level? I've never seen that value used before, I assume it's derived from the standard fibonaccis. But why do you prefer that over 1.238?

Yes it's a fib number and as you can see it fits well with the first retrace after bottoming. 1.27 is also commonly used in harmonic patterns.
