Fibonacci – Part 1: The Golden Ratio and Its Role in Markets

(From John Murphy’s Technical Analysis)

Fibonacci theory is based on a sequence of numbers introduced by Italian mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci:

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21...

Each number is the sum of the two preceding ones.

🔸 The key to its use in trading lies in the Golden Ratio – 61.8%, which results from dividing a number in the sequence by the one that follows it.

📊 In technical analysis, prices are believed to move in natural cycles, and Fibonacci ratios help identify areas where corrections or reversals may occur.
