Fibonacci Retracement Mastery: Golden Zone Strategy and Entry Risk

Technicals • Fibonacci • Strategy • Published

The market moves in waves: **Impulse** (Trend) and **Correction** (Pullback). The **Fibonacci Retracement** tool allows you to predict where the pullback will stop.

The key is the ratio **61.8% (0.618)**—the **"Golden Ratio"**. We use this to predict where institutional algorithms are waiting to reload their positions.
