How accurate is Fibonacci retracement?
Fibonacci levels work as self-fulfilling prophecies. Best used with other indicators (moving averages, RSI, volume). Never rely on Fibonacci alone for trading decisions.
How do I choose the correct swing high and low for Fibonacci?
Identify the most significant swing points on your chart โ these should be clear highs and lows that represent the start and end of a substantial price move. For an uptrend, draw from the swing low to the swing high. For a downtrend, draw from the swing high to the swing low. Use higher timeframe swing points for more reliable levels. Avoid using minor wicks or short-term fluctuations as reference points.
