Why it works

In a healthy trend, pullbacks often stop between 50% and 61.8% of the previous move: the “golden zone” where value meets the trend.

How to use it

Draw Fibonacci from the swing low to the swing high of the last impulse. Look for buys in the 50–61.8% zone with a confirmation candle.

The typical mistake

Drawing Fibonacci on random swings until a level fits. Use the clear, recent impulse only.
