Fibonacci Wedges
Fibonacci Wedges is a technical analysis tool that combines Fibonacci retracement levels with wedge patterns to help traders identify potential reversal points and trend continuations in price movements. This tool visually represents key Fibonacci levels within a wedge structure, aiding in the analysis of price trends.
Overview of Fibonacci Wedges
Fibonacci Wedges are created by plotting diagonal lines at Fibonacci levels that converge to form a wedge shape. This structure allows traders to visualize potential areas of support and resistance, as well as possible breakout points based on Fibonacci ratios.
Key Components of Fibonacci Wedges
-
Fibonacci Levels: The wedge is based on Fibonacci retracement levels, typically including 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, and 100%. These levels are derived from the Fibonacci sequence and are essential for determining potential price reversal areas.
-
Wedge Structure: The wedge pattern is characterized by converging trend lines that can indicate potential price consolidation before a breakout.
