Fibonacci Time Zone
Fibonacci Time Zone is a technical analysis tool used to identify potential areas of time-based support and resistance. Unlike the traditional Fibonacci retracement levels, which focus on price levels, Fibonacci Time Zones focus on the timing of potential reversals or significant price changes based on the Fibonacci sequence.
Overview of Fibonacci Time Zone
The Fibonacci Time Zone consists of vertical lines that are spaced according to Fibonacci ratios. These lines help traders anticipate when significant price movements may occur, providing insights into future support or resistance levels based on time rather than price.
