$3690 is a 1.618 Fibonacci extension a logical price for a pause or profit taking.

I'm ignorant. From $2280? Why?

Hope this helps. Fibonacci extensions drawn from most recent swing high to swing low.

Thanks. So the calculation is based upon 0.5 being the halfway point between the local high and the local low?

Subtract the price at swing low $1830 from previous swing high $2980 to get $1150. Multiply $1150 by 1.618 to get $1860.7. Add that $1860.7 to the $1830 low to get the 1.618 first Fibonacci extension of $3690.7 then repeat for the higher extensions.

This is Bitcoin! All this TA is useless. So many people were tempted to short the "top" and got REKT.  Why didn't you learn anything from past 8 years?


Shorting a bull market is tricky and one way novice traders lose money. It is easier to make money just going long in a bull market. If you look at a weekly Bitstamp chart for BTC/USD with a simple 20 period moving average bitcoin price has been above the 20 MA for two years. That is two years of a bull market where all you had to do to make money with bitcoin was buy when price touched a line on a chart, the 20 MA. Last time was last month when you should have bought under $1900.

Subtract the price at swing low $1830 from previous swing high $2980 to get $1150. Multiply $1150 by 1.618 to get $1860.7. Add that $1860.7 to the $1830 low to get the 1.618 first Fibonacci extension of $3690.7 then repeat for the higher extensions.

Got it. So why do people think it works? What is the theory? Empirical based on backtesting across numerous markets?

Fibonacci retracements and extensions are based on the Fibonacci sequence of numbers. The Golden Ratio 1.618 is found everywhere in nature and also bitcoin charts. Traders have been using Fibonacci for decades because it has been shown to work with markets. Back in January 2015 since I knew the bitcoin low was $152 at that time and the previous ATH was $1163 I could predict a possible future bitcoin price of $2798 from the 2.618 Fibonacci extension. Do you see how Fibonacci can be useful now? In this case it could have helped a smart trader avoid taking profits too early.

So true. At this time Bitcoin market is way more influenced by fundamentals, like the obvious and predictable impact of segwit approval, overcoming the Bitcoin Cash "attack", etc etc.... But, fibonacci levels have some importance too because they define some psicological levels that have some resistance on human behaviour.

Genius, split off a coin then dump it to pump the main coin.

Can it repeat a few times?
