Jimmy 1180 to 1030 is only loosing several months gains in this market and is no tsunami, now 840 that would be a big wave and a correction back to "irrational exhuberance" would be a tsunami.

> I don't even know what a Fibonacci day is

the fibonacci series is a simple addative series.

1 + 1 = 2
2 + 1 = 3
3 + 2 = 5
5 + 3 = 8
8 + 5 = 13
13 + 8 = 21
21 + 13 = 34
34 + 21 = 55
and so on adding the last two sums in the series to form
the next one.

the pattern shows up in nature with remarkable frequency
and converges on a rule of adding about 38% to each number
in the series.

nature seems to force that 38% growth on the processes until
they break and can't complete another element in the series.

when you apply it to a number of days, as bobby is doing
here, the implication is that each element in the series
represents a wave of emotion, and that as the wave crests
we must decide if another element in the series can be
tolerated. The process which he is saying is currently
under stress is the market holding on after the may selling
peak.

I don't know why he focuses on 55 and not 89 or some other
number, but in any case it's a decision point.
