Article Fibonacci Tell Few Lies

[T2W Bot]

The eagerly watched for retest (of the prior lows) finally came to fruition on Wednesday of last week. Although, the ER2 (Russell 2000) didn’t quite make it down far enough to touch the recent nadir. This was not the case for the S&P and the Dow. These two benchmarks actually exceeded their prior low points before the Bears finally decided that – enough was enough – and began covering or buying back their short positions. In addition, the market sell-off had gone far enough that the Bulls found a perceived "value area" in which they could put new money to work. This chain of events created a massive order imbalance that precipitated the violent reaction that is the rebound. Much like a rubber band that is stretched to its limit, the reverting is swift.
Was this an oversold bounce before the next shoe is to drop? Or is the correction over, thus setting the stage for a challenge of the February highs? These questions are foremost on the minds of both traders as well as investors.

I'm not sure if you either i) provoking a reaction or ii) don't understand how to use Fibonacci.

If it's the latter, I'd respectfully suggest that you do further research into the discovery of the fibonacci sequence and of the many top traders who use fibonacci when trading.

Can I presume you are not an exponent of Technical Analysis ? What do you use to give yourself clues as to the possible next move when trading ?

Can you explain why 50% is used in a "Fibonacci" level? That makes no sense!

Hi, the only issue I have with this article is that it seems people were looking for a more detailed explanation of Fibonacci. There are a ton of websites and books that explain the Fib Levels, so why repeat here.

This article was a good. It points to how many people saw the market at the time... Indecision. Fibonacci can not show where markets will turn etc... but do offer possible areas for retracements and projections. A bit of study, and you will find that, as Gabe says in the article title, Fibonacci Tells Few Lies.

Nice one Gabe.

Fib levels don't work. Studies have well demonstrated they are no better than random. Article another useless garbage respository.
