Fibonacci Arcs
Fibonacci Arcs is a technical analysis tool that combines Fibonacci levels with circular arcs to identify potential support and resistance areas in a price chart. This tool is useful for traders looking to understand price movement patterns based on the Fibonacci sequence.
Overview of Fibonacci Arcs
Fibonacci Arcs are created by plotting arcs at various Fibonacci retracement levels, extending from a significant price point (usually a high or low). These arcs help traders visualize potential reversal points, making it easier to identify trading opportunities.
Key Components of Fibonacci Arcs
-
Fibonacci Levels: The arcs are based on key Fibonacci retracement levels, typically including 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, and 100%. These levels are derived from the Fibonacci sequence and are widely used in technical analysis.
-
Circular Arcs: The arcs create a visual representation of the Fibonacci levels, indicating where price might find support or resistance.
