1) What is Fibonacci Retracement?
Fibonacci is based on natural ratios (like 0.618) found everywhere β plants, galaxies, and the markets.
In trading:
We use it to find potential pullback zones within a move.
π Key Levels:
0.236 β Weak pullback
0.382 β First bounce
0.5 β Neutral zone (not a true Fib level, but used)
0.618 β Golden retracement
0.786 β Deep retracement (Smart Money favorite)
2) How to Plot Fibonacci (Correctly)
β Most plot it from random highs/lows.
β
Hereβs the correct way:
π Identify an impulsive move (clear trend leg)
π Plot Fib from swing low to swing high (in uptrend)
π Or swing high to swing low (in downtrend)
π₯ Plot from body-to-body for Smart Money accuracy (not wick)
3) How Smart Money Uses Fibonacci
Institutions donβt enter at 0.236 or 0.382.
They wait for:
β
0.618β0.786 retracement
β
OB or FVG near that zone
β
Liquidity sweep below structure
β
RSI/Volume divergence
β
Engulfing or trap candle
π Then they enter β ride it to new highs/lows.
4) Entry Strategy 1: The Golden Entry
π Price pulls back to 0.618β0.786 Fib zone
π OB or FVG aligns with it
π Forms bullish engulfing or rejection wick
π― Entry: After confirmation candle
β SL: Below 0.786 or trap wick
π― Target: 0.0 Fib (swing high) β then Fib extension 1.272, 1.618
π₯ Works beautifully for swing trades
5) Entry Strategy 2: Fib + OB Combo (Intraday)
β
Mark 15m impulsive leg
β
Plot Fib on that leg
β
Drop to 5m or 3m
β
Look for OB inside 0.618β0.786
β
Wait for rejection wick or CHoCH
π― Buy CE or long futures
β SL: Below OB
π― Target: Back to swing high β then extension
π‘ Great for BankNifty intraday plays
6) Entry Strategy 3: Fib + VWAP + Volume
π Price retraces to 0.618
π VWAP support nearby
π Volume spike on green candle
π RSI crosses 40β50 zone
π― Buy CE option
β SL: Below VWAP
π― Target: Fib 0.0 + 1.272
β οΈ Avoid entry if volume is weak or VWAP is broken
7) Targets Using Fibonacci Extensions
Once price moves past previous high/low (0.0 level), use:
π 1.272 β conservative target
π 1.618 β golden target
π 2.0 β max extension (rare but explosive)
π‘ Use these levels for exit planning in options or futures.
8) Example β BankNifty 15m Chart
Impulsive rally: 49,500 to 50,100
Pullback to 49,650 (Fib 0.618)
OB + bullish engulfing + VWAP hold
Buy 49,800 CE @ βΉ120
Target hit at 50,100 (0.0) β then 1.272 at 50,300 β
RR: 1:3+ in < 1.5 hours π₯
9) Pro Tips for Using Fibonacci
β
Align Fib levels with:
Order Blocks
Fair Value Gaps
VWAP
CPR
RSI Divergence
β
Donβt enter blindly at Fib zones
β Wait for confirmation
β
Plot Fib on HTF (15m, 1H) and enter on LTF (5m, 3m)
10) Secret Level Most Traders Ignore: 0.705
π Hidden institutional level between 0.618 & 0.786
π Price often reacts better at 0.705 than 0.618
π Smart Money enters here when OB sits exactly at 70.5%
