Welcome back to our “Mastering Crypto Trading: Top Indicators Revealed!” series! We’ve already covered RSI, Moving Averages, Bollinger Bands, and MACD. Today, we’ll focus on a single, yet powerful indicator: Fibonacci Retracement. Ready to explore this “treasure map” for hidden support and resistance levels? Let’s jump in! 🚀
Fibonacci Retracement - 🔢
Imagine Fibonacci Retracement as your crypto’s treasure map. These magical percentages (23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 78.6%) often act like key checkpoints where the price may stall or reverse, giving you valuable hints on when to buy or sell.
Here’s the Trick
A pullback to 38.2% or 50% that holds often signals a potential continuation of the uptrend.
If price breaks below 61.8%, momentum might be weakening, and you could see a bigger dip.
In the Screenshot Below :
We’re looking at BTC/USD on a weekly chart, where the Auto Fib Retracement is drawn from a swing low around $75,000 to a swing high around $105,000. You’ll notice:
23.6% → $94,643
38.2% → $98,105
50.0% → $100,686
61.8% → $102,388
78.6% → $104,794
If the price pulls back to around $98k (38.2%) and bounces, it suggests the uptrend may stay alive. But if it dips below the deeper Fib levels (like 61.8% or 78.6%), that’s a stronger clue the trend could be reversing.
How to Use It
✅ Buy if price bounces off a key Fib level → “Support found! The uptrend might continue.”
❌ Sell if price fails at a Fib level and heads down → “Resistance strong! Time to exit or short.”
Short-Term vs. Long-Term
Short-term traders often look to scalp quick bounces off these Fib checkpoints.
Long-term traders watch deeper retracements (50%, 61.8%) to buy at a discount during a major uptrend.
Why Wait for Confirmation?
Sometimes the price briefly dips below a Fib level but springs back—a misleading move. To avoid jumping in too soon:
Look for a candlestick pattern (e.g., a big, solid green candle showing buyers stepped in).
Watch for a volume spike—that’s when the market’s “crowd” suddenly gets louder, meaning lots of traders are buying (or selling) at once. High volume often confirms the level is valid.
By waiting for these extra signs, you can lower your risk and avoid getting caught in a fake move.
Conclusion
That’s it for Fibonacci Retracement—one of the most popular ways to spot potential support and resistance zones. Stay tuned for our next article, where we’ll continue revealing more powerful indicators to help you navigate the crypto markets like a pro!
