a price chart and wondered where the market might pause reverse, or pick up momentum again then you are not alone. One tool that traders often use is Fibonacci Retracement. Its rooted in centuries old mathematical sequence and \u00a0its application in trading is surprisingly practical.<\/p>\r\n<p>A technical analysis method called the Fibonacci Retracement is used to calculate how much a price may decline before moving back in its initial trend. Its foundation is the Fibonacci number sequence, which yields important ratios that traders utilize to pinpoint possible areas of support and resistance. The sequence yielded the following important ratios:<\/p>\r\n<p>The\u00a0Golden\u00a0Ratio\u00a0is\u00a061.8%.<\/p>\r\n<p>38.2%<\/p>\r\n<p>23.6%<\/p>\r\n<p>In an uptrend these ratios represent possible price zones where a bried drop could take place before the trend picks back up. To use the technique, a trader finds the chart\u2019s most recent swing high and low, then projects these important levels using the Fibonacci Retracement Tool.<\/p>\r\n<p>In\u00a0an\u00a0uptrend,\u00a0these\u00a0ratios\u00a0represent\u00a0possible\u00a0price\u00a0zones\u00a0where\u00a0a\u00a0brief\u00a0drop\u00a0couldFibonacci Retracement is a way to measure how far a price might pull back before continuing in its original direction. It is based on \u00a0the Fibonacci sequence which includes series of numbers where each number is the sum of two before it . \u00a0E.g \u00a0(0,1, 1, 2 ,3,5,8,13\u2026.).<\/p>\r\n<p>Where<\/p>\r\n<p>0,1 = (0+1) =1<\/p>\r\n<p>1,1=(1+1)=2<\/p>\r\n<p>1,2= (1+2)=3<\/p>\r\n<p>2,3= (2+3)=5<\/p>\r\n<p>3,5=(3+5)=8<\/p>\r\n<p>8,13=(8+13)=21<\/p>\r\n<p>So the full sequence looks like this:<\/p>\r\n<p><strong><b>0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144<\/b><\/strong><strong><b>, <\/b><\/strong><strong><b>233<\/b><\/strong><strong><b>, <\/b><\/strong><strong><b>377<\/b><\/strong><strong><b>, <\/b><\/strong><strong><b>610<\/b><\/strong><strong><b>, <\/b><\/strong><strong><b>987<\/b><\/strong><strong><b>\u2026.<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>And the sequence goes on.

This value is known as the Golden Ratio, or Phi.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong><b>Examples:<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>610 \u00f7 377 = 1.618<\/p>\r\n<p>377 \u00f7 233 = 1.618<\/p>\r\n<p>233 \u00f7 144 = 1.618<\/p>\r\n<p>This ratio appears frequently in nature\u2014whether it&#8217;s the structure of flower petals, the proportions of the human face, or even the spirals of galaxies. While we won\u2019t dive into those examples here, a quick online search for \u201cGolden Ratio in nature\u201d will reveal some fascinating insights.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong><b>Reverse Ratio: Preceding \u00f7 Current<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>If you flip the division, dividing a Fibonacci number by the one that follows, you get 0.618, which is 61.8% in percentage terms.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong><b>Examples:<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>89 \u00f7 144 = 0.618<\/p>\r\n<p>144 \u00f7 233 = 0.618<\/p>\r\n<p>377 \u00f7 610 = 0.618<\/p>\r\n<p><strong><b>Two Steps Ahead<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Dividing a Fibonacci number by the one two places ahead gives a consistent ratio of 0.382, or 38.2%.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong><b>Examples:<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>13 \u00f7 34 = 0.382<\/p>\r\n<p>21 \u00f7 55 = 0.382<\/p>\r\n<p>34 \u00f7 89 = 0.382<\/p>\r\n<p><strong><b>Three Steps Ahead<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Go three places forward in the series, and the ratio becomes 0.236, or 23.6%.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong><b>Examples:<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>13 \u00f7 55 = 0.236<\/p>\r\n<p>21 \u00f7 89 = 0.236<\/p>\r\n<p>34 \u00f7 144 = 0.236<\/p>\r\n<p>55 \u00f7 233 = 0.236<\/p>\r\n<p>These ratios 61.8%, 38.2%, and 23.6%, are foundational in Fibonacci retracement levels used in technical analysis. They help traders identify potential support and resistance zones with remarkable consistency.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong><b>So Why do these levels matter?<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Think of market psychology. After every strong move, traders wait for a \u201cdiscount\u201d before re-entering. Fibonacci levels offer \u00a0a structured way to anticipate where that discount might occur.<\/p>\r\n<p>23.6% and 38.2%: Shallow retracements, often seen in strong trends.<\/p>\r\n<p>50% and 61.8%: Deeper pullbacks, common in more volatile conditions.<\/p>\r\n<p>78.6%: Last line of defence before the trend is considered broken.<\/p>\r\n<p>These levels are reference points which helps traders to plan with more clarity.\u00a0Fibonacci retracement isn\u2019t about predicting the future, it\u2019s about preparing for possibilities.

Jumping in after a sharp rally can be risky\u2014so instead, a smarter approach is to wait for a pullback. This is where Fibonacci retracement levels come into play.<\/p>\r\n<p>Levels like 61.8%, 38.2%, and 23.6% serve as potential zones where the price might temporarily decline before resuming its trend. By plotting these levels on the chart, you can anticipate where the stock might stabilize\u2014giving you a chance to enter the trade with better risk-reward alignment.<\/p>\r\n<p>When used in conjunction with other trading signals and as part of a thorough checklist, Fibonacci Retracement works best. When a Fibonacci level coincides with a distinct candlestick pattern, a recognized support or resistance zone, and a rise in trading volume, it is considered a high conviction trade setting.<\/p>\r\n<p>However, Fibonacci retracement should not be used in isolation. It\u2019s most powerful when it supports other signals. Personally, I\u2019d only consider entering a trade if the following conditions are met:<\/p>\r\n<ol>\r\n<li>The chart shows a clear candlestick pattern indicating reversal or continuation.<\/li>\r\n<li>The stop-loss level aligns with a known support or resistance zone.<\/li>\r\n<li>There\u2019s a noticeable increase in trading volume, confirming interest.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<p>If the Fibonacci level also matches the stop-loss zone, it adds another layer of confidence to the setup. That\u2019s when I\u2019d consider the trade a high-conviction opportunity, not because of the Fibonacci level alone, but because multiple factors are pointing in the same direction.<\/p>\r\n<p>The same principle applies to short trades. If a stock has dropped sharply and begins to retrace upward, Fibonacci levels can help identify where the bounce might fade, offering a chance to enter a short position with precision.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong><em><b><i>Activity For You<\/i><\/b><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_76329\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76329\" style=\"width: 2690px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-76329 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/98e12fb3-bcf5-4008-8f21-4880620ecdcd.png\" alt=\"98e12fb3-bcf5-4008-8f21-4880620ecdcd\" width=\"2700\" height=\"1164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/98e12fb3-bcf5-4008-8f21-4880620ecdcd.png 2700w, https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/98e12fb3-bcf5-4008-8f21-4880620ecdcd-300x129.png 300w, https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/98e12fb3-bcf5-4008-8f21-4880620ecdcd-1024x441.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/98e12fb3-bcf5-4008-8f21-4880620ecdcd-768x331.png 768w, https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/98e12fb3-bcf5-4008-8f21-4880620ecdcd-1536x662.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/98e12fb3-bcf5-4008-8f21-4880620ecdcd-2048x883.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/98e12fb3-bcf5-4008-8f21-4880620ecdcd-50x22.png 50w, https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/98e12fb3-bcf5-4008-8f21-4880620ecdcd-100x43.png 100w, https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/98e12fb3-bcf5-4008-8f21-4880620ecdcd-150x65.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2700px) 100vw, 2700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-76329\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image source : Trading view<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<ol>\r\n<li><strong>What does the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level typically represent in technical analysis?<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>A strong support or resistance zone<\/li>\r\n<li>The highest price of the stock<\/li>\r\n<li>The average trading volume<\/li>\r\n<li>A guaranteed reversal point<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 2. <strong>If HDFC Bank&#8217;s price pulls back from \u20b9951.00, which Fibonacci level is closest to \u20b9874.05?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>0.786<\/li>\r\n<li>0.5<\/li>\r\n<li>0.236<\/li>\r\n<li>0.382<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a03. <strong>Which of the following is NOT a standard Fibonacci retracement level?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>0.618<\/li>\r\n<li>0.75<\/li>\r\n<li>0.382<\/li>\r\n<li>0.5<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><strong><b>Answers :<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<ol>\r\n<li><strong>A guaranteed reversal point<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<li><strong>0.236<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<li><strong>0.75<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/div>\n<div id='text_slider_slide05' class='sa_hover_container' data-hash='Key-Takeaways ' style='padding:4.9% 5%; margin:0px 0%; background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); min-height:400px; '><h2 style=\"text-align: left\"><strong><span style=\"color: #f1566d\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">15.5 <\/span><\/span><\/strong><strong><b>Key Takeaways<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-76026 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Key-Takeaways-3.png\" alt=\"Key Takeaways\" width=\"444\" height=\"418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Key-Takeaways-3.png 444w, https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Key-Takeaways-3-300x282.png 300w, https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Key-Takeaways-3-50x47.png 50w, https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Key-Takeaways-3-100x94.png 100w, https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Key-Takeaways-3-150x141.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 444px) 100vw, 444px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Fibonacci Retracement is a technical analysis tool used to measure how far a price might pull back before continuing in its original direction.

One tool that traders often use is Fibonacci Retracement. Its rooted in centuries old mathematical sequence and \u00a0its application in trading is surprisingly practical.<\/p>\r\n<p>A technical analysis method called the Fibonacci Retracement is used to calculate how much a price may decline before moving back in its initial trend. Its foundation is the Fibonacci number sequence, which yields important ratios that traders utilize to pinpoint possible areas of support and resistance. The sequence yielded the following important ratios:<\/p>\r\n<p>The\u00a0Golden\u00a0Ratio\u00a0is\u00a061.8%.<\/p>\r\n<p>38.2%<\/p>\r\n<p>23.6%<\/p>\r\n<p>In an uptrend these ratios represent possible price zones where a bried drop could take place before the trend picks back up. To use the technique, a trader finds the chart\u2019s most recent swing high and low, then projects these important levels using the Fibonacci Retracement Tool.<\/p>\r\n<p>In\u00a0an\u00a0uptrend,\u00a0these\u00a0ratios\u00a0represent\u00a0possible\u00a0price\u00a0zones\u00a0where\u00a0a\u00a0brief\u00a0drop\u00a0couldFibonacci Retracement is a way to measure how far a price might pull back before continuing in its original direction. It is based on \u00a0the Fibonacci sequence which includes series of numbers where each number is the sum of two before it . \u00a0E.g \u00a0(0,1, 1, 2 ,3,5,8,13\u2026.).<\/p>\r\n<p>Where<\/p>\r\n<p>0,1 = (0+1) =1<\/p>\r\n<p>1,1=(1+1)=2<\/p>\r\n<p>1,2= (1+2)=3<\/p>\r\n<p>2,3= (2+3)=5<\/p>\r\n<p>3,5=(3+5)=8<\/p>\r\n<p>8,13=(8+13)=21<\/p>\r\n<p>So the full sequence looks like this:<\/p>\r\n<p><strong><b>0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144<\/b><\/strong><strong><b>, <\/b><\/strong><strong><b>233<\/b><\/strong><strong><b>, <\/b><\/strong><strong><b>377<\/b><\/strong><strong><b>, <\/b><\/strong><strong><b>610<\/b><\/strong><strong><b>, <\/b><\/strong><strong><b>987<\/b><\/strong><strong><b>\u2026.<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>And the sequence goes on.

Jumping in after a sharp rally can be risky\u2014so instead, a smarter approach is to wait for a pullback. This is where Fibonacci retracement levels come into play.<\/p>\r\n<p>Levels like 61.8%, 38.2%, and 23.6% serve as potential zones where the price might temporarily decline before resuming its trend. By plotting these levels on the chart, you can anticipate where the stock might stabilize\u2014giving you a chance to enter the trade with better risk-reward alignment.<\/p>\r\n<p>When used in conjunction with other trading signals and as part of a thorough checklist, Fibonacci Retracement works best. When a Fibonacci level coincides with a distinct candlestick pattern, a recognized support or resistance zone, and a rise in trading volume, it is considered a high conviction trade setting.<\/p>\r\n<p>However, Fibonacci retracement should not be used in isolation. It\u2019s most powerful when it supports other signals. Personally, I\u2019d only consider entering a trade if the following conditions are met:<\/p>\r\n<ol>\r\n<li>The chart shows a clear candlestick pattern indicating reversal or continuation.<\/li>\r\n<li>The stop-loss level aligns with a known support or resistance zone.<\/li>\r\n<li>There\u2019s a noticeable increase in trading volume, confirming interest.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<p>If the Fibonacci level also matches the stop-loss zone, it adds another layer of confidence to the setup. That\u2019s when I\u2019d consider the trade a high-conviction opportunity, not because of the Fibonacci level alone, but because multiple factors are pointing in the same direction.<\/p>\r\n<p>The same principle applies to short trades. If a stock has dropped sharply and begins to retrace upward, Fibonacci levels can help identify where the bounce might fade, offering a chance to enter a short position with precision.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong><em><b><i>Activity For You<\/i><\/b><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_76329\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76329\" style=\"width: 2690px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-76329 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/98e12fb3-bcf5-4008-8f21-4880620ecdcd.png\" alt=\"98e12fb3-bcf5-4008-8f21-4880620ecdcd\" width=\"2700\" height=\"1164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/98e12fb3-bcf5-4008-8f21-4880620ecdcd.png 2700w, https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/98e12fb3-bcf5-4008-8f21-4880620ecdcd-300x129.png 300w, https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/98e12fb3-bcf5-4008-8f21-4880620ecdcd-1024x441.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/98e12fb3-bcf5-4008-8f21-4880620ecdcd-768x331.png 768w, https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/98e12fb3-bcf5-4008-8f21-4880620ecdcd-1536x662.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/98e12fb3-bcf5-4008-8f21-4880620ecdcd-2048x883.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/98e12fb3-bcf5-4008-8f21-4880620ecdcd-50x22.png 50w, https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/98e12fb3-bcf5-4008-8f21-4880620ecdcd-100x43.png 100w, https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/98e12fb3-bcf5-4008-8f21-4880620ecdcd-150x65.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2700px) 100vw, 2700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-76329\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image source : Trading view<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<ol>\r\n<li><strong>What does the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level typically represent in technical analysis?<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>A strong support or resistance zone<\/li>\r\n<li>The highest price of the stock<\/li>\r\n<li>The average trading volume<\/li>\r\n<li>A guaranteed reversal point<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 2. <strong>If HDFC Bank&#8217;s price pulls back from \u20b9951.00, which Fibonacci level is closest to \u20b9874.05?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>0.786<\/li>\r\n<li>0.5<\/li>\r\n<li>0.236<\/li>\r\n<li>0.382<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a03. <strong>Which of the following is NOT a standard Fibonacci retracement level?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>0.618<\/li>\r\n<li>0.75<\/li>\r\n<li>0.382<\/li>\r\n<li>0.5<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><strong><b>Answers :<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<ol>\r\n<li><strong>A guaranteed reversal point<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<li><strong>0.236<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<li><strong>0.75<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/div>\n<div id='text_slider_slide05' class='sa_hover_container' data-hash='Key-Takeaways ' style='padding:4.9% 5%; margin:0px 0%; background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); min-height:400px; '><h2 style=\"text-align: left\"><strong><span style=\"color: #f1566d\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">15.5 <\/span><\/span><\/strong><strong><b>Key Takeaways<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-76026 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Key-Takeaways-3.png\" alt=\"Key Takeaways\" width=\"444\" height=\"418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Key-Takeaways-3.png 444w, https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Key-Takeaways-3-300x282.png 300w, https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Key-Takeaways-3-50x47.png 50w, https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Key-Takeaways-3-100x94.png 100w, https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Key-Takeaways-3-150x141.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 444px) 100vw, 444px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Fibonacci Retracement is a technical analysis tool used to measure how far a price might pull back before continuing in its original direction.

This multi-layered confirmation strengthens a trader&#8217;s conviction and improves their odds.<\/li>\r\n<li>For short trades, Fibonacci levels help identify where an upward bounce might fade, offering a chance to enter a short position with greater precision.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><strong><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<script type='text\/javascript'>\n\tjQuery(document).ready(function() {\n\t\tjQuery('#text_slider').owlCarousel({\n\t\t\titems : 1,\n\t\t\tsmartSpeed : 400,\n\t\t\tautoplay : false,\n\t\t\tautoplayHoverPause : false,\n\t\t\tsmartSpeed : 400,\n\t\t\tfluidSpeed : 400,\n\t\t\tautoplaySpeed : 400,\n\t\t\tnavSpeed : 400,\n\t\t\tdotsSpeed : 400,\n\t\t\tdotsEach : 1,\n\t\t\tloop : false,\n\t\t\tnav : true,\n\t\t\tnavText : ['Previous','Next'],\n\t\t\tdots : true,\n\t\t\tresponsiveRefreshRate : 200,\n\t\t\tslideBy : 1,\n\t\t\tmergeFit : true,\n\t\t\tautoHeight : true,\n\t\t\tmouseDrag : false,\n\t\t\ttouchDrag : true\n\t\t});\n\t\tjQuery('#text_slider').css('visibility', 'visible');\n\t\tvar owl_goto = jQuery('#text_slider');\n\t\tjQuery('.text_slider_goto1').click(function(event){\n\t\t\towl_goto.trigger('to.owl.carousel', 0);\n\t\t});\n\t\tjQuery('.text_slider_goto2').click(function(event){\n\t\t\towl_goto.trigger('to.owl.carousel', 1);\n\t\t});\n\t\tjQuery('.text_slider_goto3').click(function(event){\n\t\t\towl_goto.trigger('to.owl.carousel', 2);\n\t\t});\n\t\tjQuery('.text_slider_goto4').click(function(event){\n\t\t\towl_goto.trigger('to.owl.carousel', 3);\n\t\t});\n\t\tjQuery('.text_slider_goto5').click(function(event){\n\t\t\towl_goto.trigger('to.owl.carousel', 4);\n\t\t});\n\t\tvar resize_76039 = jQuery('.owl-carousel');\n\t\tresize_76039.on('initialized.owl.carousel', function(e) {\n\t\t\tif (typeof(Event) === 'function') {\n\t\t\t\twindow.dispatchEvent(new Event('resize'));\n\t\t\t} else {\n\t\t\t\tvar evt = window.document.createEvent('UIEvents');\n\t\t\t\tevt.initUIEvent('resize', true, false, window, 0);\n\t\t\t\twindow.dispatchEvent(evt);\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t});\n\t});\n<\/script>\n<\/p>                    <\/div>\n\t\t        \n                    <div id=\"videos-tab\" class=\"clearfix eael-tab-content-item \" data-title-link=\"videos-tab\">\n\t\t\t\t        <div class=\"yt_iframe\"><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/S99GTRIE0Ys?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>                    <\/div>\n\t\t                    <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Study Slides Videos 15.1 What is Fibonacci Retracement?
