Fibonacci Extension

Elliott Wave Patterns & Fibonacci Relationships Reference GuideElliott Wave Theory attempts to identify recurring price movements within financial markets and to classify them into a set of meaningful patterns, which can become a reliable tool for future price predictions. The underlying principle is that price-action unfolds via an endless alternation between trending and corrective cycles, while producing this effect on any relative timescale (Fractality) . Elliott Wave (EW) price patterns are divided into  motive waves   (i.e. price movements that initiate progress in one direction and therefore create trend) and  corrective waves   (i.e. price movements that are reactionary in relation to the previous trend-setting move) . Corrective waves essentially attempt to revert or undo the movement that was initiated by the preceding motive wave. How to use this guide This EW reference guide provides an idealized drawing for each EW pattern, including a visualization of the most important internal wave size relationships. The images highlight the most common wave retracement and extension targets in red, followed by the next most common targets in orange, followed by the least common targets in grey. Important Concepts To Remember Before Applying EW Counts Wave Degrees Elliott Waves are labeled in different degrees that are nested within each other due to the fractal nature of price movements. Please refer to your Elliott Wave drawing software for the appropriate names and symbols used for each officially defined degree. Alternatively, you may simply label different degrees with different-colored labels on your chart. Alternation   (“expect a difference in the next expression of a similar pattern”) : EW patterns have the tendency to create alternation within them. This is reflective of nature’s general propensity towards dynamic balance. Following is a list of the main occurrences of alternation: Alternation of corrective waves: If wave 2 is sharp (i.e. zigzag or extended zigzag) and deep (i.e. deep in the sense of how much it retraces the preceding wave 1), then wave 4 will most likely going to be sideways (flat, combination, or triangle) and shallow relative to wave 3. The same applies in reverse but is less common. This is because triangles (which only appear during wave 4 inside a motive wave) are considered to be alternating to all other corrective patterns. That means even if wave 2 is a shallow sideways correction, a triangle can still appear in wave 4, but it is less likely. Alternation also occurs in terms of wave complexity. If a potential bigger complex correction starts out simple at first, then expect complexity to increase during the following parts of the correction (i.e. simple-complex-most complex). The reverse can also apply (i.e. most complex-complex simple) but it is more rare. Alternation of motive waves : If wave 1 is short, then wave 3 is likely to be extended, and wave 5 likely to be short again. If wave 1 is extended, then wave 3 and 5 are most likely not extended. If neither wave 1 nor wave 3 is extended, then wave 5 probably will be extended. If wave 3 is extremely long and overstretched, wave is 5 more in danger of being truncated. Balanced Proportions (“The Right Look”) : It is important that waves within a 5-wave or 3-wave sequence show reasonably balanced proportions to each other… not just in terms of size/magnitude (which can generally be verified by Fibonacci retracement and extension ratios), but also in terms of  time duration . This balancing can occur either via alternation and/or via equality. Consider the following as an example for ‘balance through alternation’ : an impulse is showing a classic deep and short-lived wave 2, plus a shallow but time-lengthy wave 4. The time-lengthiness of wave 4 is in balance with the depth of wave 2, while the shallowness of wave 4 is in balance with the short-lived nature of wave 2, thereby creating balance through alternation. The same need for balance applies for any motive waves within a 5-wave sequence (i.e. 1,3, and 5). The exception however will be the potentially extended wave within the sequence. It can/will be much larger in terms of magnitude and time than the other four waves, but the sub-waves (inside the extended wave) must show a balance to each other. The extended wave will also express relatedness to the other waves of the sequence by the angle of the overall price movement (that’s why impulsive motive waves travel quite neatly within parallel channel lines most of the time, even if one of the waves is extended). Consider the following as an example for ‘balance through equality AND alternation’ . Wave 1 and 5 of an impulse sequence are equal in size and duration (equality), while wave 3 is extended (alternation to waves 1 and 5). Alarm bells should be going off when a potential wave 4 is starting to grow out of proportion in terms of size and duration relative to the other waves of the same degree. It is dangerous to disregard the factor of balanced proportions during wave counting. Disproportionate and misshapen patterns should be seriously questioned. The ‘right look’ may not be evident at all degrees of trend simultaneously, so it is best to focus on the degrees that are the clearest.

Short term : Should it be a bounce?Hello Fellas, Let's come to the update of bitcoin. I want to give a highlight on the green trend line. this is the previous trend line that has already broken up and right now the price is trying to test it again to confirm as support. And if we see a correlation between this trend line and the fibonacci extention 1.1 level, it almost moving align with it. And the cross point between to highlighted region is slightly below the 200 MA which make things more interesting. If we are talking about the breaking down of the 200 MA, Current daily candle hasn't closed yet. That's why today and tomorrow will be very crucial for the next possible move for bitcoin. However, in lower time frame, I haven't seen any confirmation of bounce just yet, making me to stay idle and just enjoying my yesterday's profit on SKY and LSK.

No Longer Random: Here's Why I Believe in Fib Ratios & HarmonicsI am going through a book on Harmonics and Fibonacci ratios (The Harmonic Trader by Scott Carney), and I'm seeing for myself how these ratios can be used as key areas of reversal. I used to believe that day-to-day price action was random, but after looking at several charts for myself, I now reject my old belief and concede that price action is greatly tied to key Fibonacci levels and conforms decently to harmonic patterns. The key levels I highlight here are - 0.382 - 1.618 In the first leg, we draw our Fib off of the pivot around the $51 level to the pivot high around the $70 level. Here, we can see a reversal off the 0.382 level almost 100% cleanly. In the second leg, we draw our Fib off that same pivot high around the $70 level to the pivot low around the $63 level. Here, we see a reversal off of the 1.618 extension level, another key reversal level. In the third leg, we draw our Fib off that same pivot low around the $63 level to the pivot high around the $76 level. Here, we see a test of the 0.382 level, again. But wait, there's more. We can also draw an AB=CD harmonic using the following levels. - A: Pivot low around $56 - B: Pivot high around $70 - C: Pivot low around $63 - D: Pivot high around $76 The AB leg is roughly the same length as the CD leg. As you can see, AB=CD reversal also happens to be in that same 1.618 area. All of this works together in unison. Amidst all of these reversals off these levels, here's my Golden Rule : Use market structure as confirmation of these reversals. Look for 'M's (double tops) and 'W's (double bottoms), as well as bullish/bearish candles when appropriate, to confirm the direction of the reversal. Don't blindly trade solely off of levels. I didn't cover them here, but I also love seeing reversals off of 0.618 and/or 0.786 levels. Those occur very frequently, too. Just gotta train your eyes.

Great tool for predicting bubble/hype tops!What is the difference between bubble and hype? Hypes are usually local tops inside the greater bubble. As we said before there is a 90% chance we already started the next bubble. For now, we had a hype that most probably finished at the 5th Elliot wave. As you can see previous tops and dips can greatly predict where the next tops will be! 1.618 Fibonacci level is the key and when combined with Fibonacci levels from other extensions you get to know where the strong resistance is. First, we get to extend to 3.618 and then to one level lower (2.618) from the previous price movement. Both are aligned with previous 1.618 Fibonacci extensions. Hope with this will mean less FOMO and FUD when trading. THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE. Remember to trade safely! If you want to thank us you can hit like and leave a comment. Thank you for your support.

The "Pulse" of an asset times Fibonacci: Golden Ratio of GrowthLTC in a perfect example of "Golden Ratio of Growth". Each extension is 1.618 times the previous extension. Most things in Nature which Grow, do so by this Ratio. Impulse was from the Bottom of Despair. Ripples were all grown with perfect Ratio. Retraces will be of much similar proportions. . . Ordered Chaos every Wave is born from Impulse, like a Pebble into Water. every Pebble bears its own Ripples, gilded of Ratio Golden. every Ripple behaves as its forerunner, setting the Pulse. each line Gains its Gravity. each line Tried and Tested. each line Poised to Reflect. Confluence of 2 is Dependable. Congruence of 3 is Respectable. Coincidence of 4 is Worshipable. every Asset Class behaves this way. every Time Frame displays its ripples. every Brain Chord rings these rhythms. He who Understands will be Humble. He who Grasps will observe the Order. He who Ignores will behold only Chaos. Ordered Chaos . . . want to Learn a little More? can you Spend a few Moments? click the Links under Related.

Example of FibbyTenths indicator on DOGEBTCI recently put out an indicator entitled "FibbyTenths" and wanted to show a nice example of its usage. Here it is on DOGEBTC on the 1D chart. What are you looking at? Line 1.000 (pink) is a baseline from which all other levels are calculated. To get the 0.618 line (for example)= Baseline * 0.618. Pretty easy. As you can see, there are numerous examples of the price reversing direction from, or rebounding off, the 0.618 and 0.236 lines.

2 BEST-FIT PITCHFORKS CROSSING EACH OTHER + 1 FIBONACCI CLUSTEREURUSD / 15 minutes timeframe / an example of a high-potential reversal zone created by fibonacci based-pitchforks and fibonacci levels. How did I get this? Two best-fit pitchforks (yellow and orange pitchforks) that have their three respective validated hits on their median line, upper parallel and lower parallel were drawn. The Swing Highs and Swing Lows of the pitchforks were also useful in drawing two types of fibonacci levels: extended retracements (1.236 and 1.272 extended retracement in this example) and basic fibonacci levels (0.318 level in this example). This fibonacci levels that are extremely close between each other form what we call a fibonacci cluster (which can be considered as a support and resistance zone). When the 0.382 parallel of the orange pitchfork, the lower parallel of the white pitchfork, the 1.272 and 1.236 extended retracements and 0.318 fibonacci level were extremely close between each other, this created a 3-5 pips high probability turn-around zone for price, which basically means that there was a high probability for price to reverse, which in this example happened. When traders have this type of scenario, they can have a very tight stop loss with this specific timeframe, which allows them to have a great risk-reward ratio if their trade goes well and if their money management system is efficient.

FibbyTenths: A New Way To Fib?I've been working on a a new way to use Fibonacci number derived ratios. In a nutshell, after calculating line 1.000 (top secret info right there, haha) in the chart above, I multiplied by 2.618 which gives us the upper purple line. Next step is to find the difference in price between lines 1.000 and 2.618. Difference is then multiplied by tenths (i.e. 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, etc) and the results are subtracted from line 2.618 to create the rainbow. I'll release a more functional version of this script within a few days. Higher and lower levels will be added plus a surprise feature. In the mean time, I'd love to hear y'all's opinions on this here chart.

[DXY] How to use Fibonacci IndicatorHi guys ! This a simple chart with a explicit Fibonacci Indicator. Many people asking me how to use it, it's easy, have a look. Story : Fibonacci was an Italian mathematician (1175 - 1250). He discovered this number sequence like this: Each numbers is calculated by adding the two previous numbers, for exemple : 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89... The special thing in this sequence is that every numbers is 1.618 of previous and 0,618 of next one. And as you know, 1,618 is the "Gold number" . (Hope my english is not too bad haha) 1 - Choose a higher and lower price (downtrend) or lower and higher price (uptrend) 2 - Fibonacci will retrace different line at 23.6, 38.2, 50, 61.8, 78.6 and 100 % 3 - Theses line will be the next supports / resistances in the correction / bounce You can use it to place the best order (BUY or SELL) and make more profit. Ask me for any questions ! Thanks for your time.

BCH - Algorithmic Entry and Target hit beautifully!I realise it's easy to state after the fact, but BCH has produced a clear example of fibonacci entry and first target hit. I just missed my entry as I noticed this a little late, highlighting the difference between trading and TA. However, its impossible to miss the confluence with the entry, RSI moving above 30, divergence appearing on the EWO and the entry at the Golden Pocket. Stops just outside the 65 needed to be careful as a cheeky wick could have caught them. Its also satisfying to see my automatic algo, written using pine script, producing a fantastic trade set up in seconds. Sam

5 STEPS TO CHANNEL THE TARGET WAVE 5 USING ELLIOTT WAVESSTEP 1 - Once the 1 wave is completed use Fib Retracement to find out the possible wave 2 level. Usually wave 2 is 0.5 - 0.8 of wave 1. In a uptrend Fib level is close to 0.8 but its the opposite on downtrend STEP 2- Once the wave 2 is completed use Fib Extension to find out the possible wave 3 level. Usually wave 3 is 1.618 of wave 1 or 2.618 of wave 2. STEP 3 - Once the wave 3 is completed then you can draw a line to join 1 and 3 and then draw a parallel line on wave 2 to project the wave 4. Usually wave 4 is 0.5 - 0.618 of wave 3 STEP 4 - Once wave 4 is completed then you can draw a line to join wave 2 and 4 and then remove the previously drawn line joining wave 1 and 3 STEP 5 - Then draw a parallel lines from wave 1 and 3 and the 50% trend line of the above parallel lines to project wave 5. Usually wave 5 is 1 or 0.618 of wave 1
