Without going in deep, in layman language, fibo numbers are natural numbers which we mostly see in nature like, flower petals, leaves, etc.
The Fib sequence is a set of increasing numbers where each number is equal to the sum of the preceding two numbers.
2⃣Importance of Fibonacci
If any stock is moving either upwards/downwards sharply and we want to know that till what levels it can retrace/take pullback.
So, we use fibo tool to know next possible support & resistance levels.
✅Here in the pic, next possible support levels are marked, if stock moves down.
✅Here in the pic, next possible resistance levels are marked, if stock moves up.
3⃣Fibonacci Retracement
The retracement level forecasts upto which level retracement can happen.
These retracement levels provide a good opportunity for the traders to enter new positions in the trend direction.
✅Example of downtrend👇
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, 0.618 & 0.786
✅Example of Uptrend 👇
Step 1 – Identify the direction of the market: uptrend.
Step 2 – Attach the Fibonacci retracement tool on the bottom and drag it to the right, all the way to the top.
Step 3 – Monitor the three potential support levels: 0.236, 0.382, 0.618 & 0.786
4⃣Fibonacci Expansion
This tool helps to pick profit targets when trading trends.
✅How to draw Fib Expansion?
🔸In Bullish trend:
Step 1 – Identify the direction of the market: uptrend.
Step 2 – Attach the Fibonacci extension tool on the bottom (A) & drag it to the right, all the way to the top (B).
Step 3 – Now, drag again back to lows (A) and mark it C.
🔸In Bearish trend:
Step 1 – Identify the direction of the market: downtrend.
Step 2 – Attach the Fibonacci extension tool on the top (A) and drag it to the right, all the way to the bottom (B).
Step 3 – Now, drag again back to highs (A) and mark it C.
5⃣Fibonacci Extension
Fibonacci extensions are a tool that traders can use to establish profit targets or estimate how far a price may travel after a pullback is finished.
Extension levels are also possible areas where the price may reverse.

🔸In Bullish trend:
Attach the Fibonacci extension tool on the bottom (A) and drag it to the right, all the way to the top (B).
Step 3 – Now, drag to lows of pullback (C).
6⃣How to use FIBO more reliably?
✅Confluence of two or more Fibo levels:
In the chart below, we can see the price of big trend is retracing at 50% (although it is not considered as a fibo level but it's an important level) and the price of smaller trend is retracing at 78.6%.
✅Confluence of FIBO with Price support:
In the chart below, price took support and retraced at 0.5 fib level and then the uptrend continued.
✅Confluence of FIBO with MA:
In the chart below, price retraced and crossed 0.236 fib level & MA simultaneously.
The uptrend contd. after this crossover.
✅Confluence of FIBO with RSI:
In the chart below, price retraced at 0.618 fib level with +ve RSI div. and the uptrend continued.
✅We can make Fibonacci more reliable with many other indicators such as MACD and even with diff candlestick patterns.
