Dan,

Price has a tendency to breakout at 62% of the eventual length of the total rally. You use this knowledge to extend fibs above known breakouts (with rallies in progress) or at double/triple top areas to target the length for an impending breakout.

Here is an old graphic from my site archive that illustrates this process real well:

You're right on the setting points for both features. As I said, I use these kinds of gaps all the time, even on 5-min charts. The process is really triangulation, where you're overlaying two independent but related fib points. The significance is that they both extend to exactly the same level and cross-verify that point.
