Mr. Fibonacci died hundreds of years before the stock market came into existence, so his number systems were applied to the market by modern day chartists looking for ways to make sense of market moves and seeking patterns. His number systems, in and of themselves, are not magical. If Fibonacci, or anyone else, had not seen this particular number combination, but rather a completely different combination (named after it's creator - Ralph) we'd be using the Ralph system right now. It's my understanding that since we all we use this system, it becomes self fulfilling, much like moving averages and other indicators which are entered into computers for program buying and selling. So, as we approach critical Fibonacci numbers or waves or MA levels of S/R, we should expect to see the big boys attempting to anticipate each others reactions and be the first in or out ahead of the crowd... isn't that why we watch this stuff?... or am I missing something? Yep, it must be time for bed. |
