Most trend pictures show a series of zigzags with several corrections against the prevailing trend. These corrections usually fall into certain predictable percentage parameters. Historically, the market has shown to move in either 3-day or 5- day increments.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeaning, in an uptrend, the market historically has either three days advance before a slight pullback, or five days advance before a slight pullback.

The best-known example of this is the fifty-percent retracement. That is to say, a secondary, or intermediate, correction against a major uptrend often retraces about half of the prior uptrend before the bull trend is again resumed.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tells us that if your stock is in an uptrend, then after a decline, it advances Rs.50 in price without a pullback, then during a pullback, it should retrace no more than about 50%, or Rs.25. Retracing more than 50% after advancing is a sign of weakness and at a minimum should be noted and watched closely.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBear market bounces often recover about half of the prior downtrend. A minimum retracement is usually about one-third of the prior trend. The two-thirds point is considered the maximum retracement that is allowed if the prior trend is going to resume.

Fibonacci analysis is based on the mathematical discoveries of Leonardo Pisano, also known as Fibonacci. He is credited with discovering a sequence of numbers that now bears his name: the Fibonacci sequence.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers that progresses as follows, 0,1, 1, 2, 3,5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55 To arrive at each subsequent number in the sequence, you simply sum the two preceding numbers in the sequence. For example, to find the number that follows 55 in the sequence, you add 55 + 34 (the two preceding numbers in the sequence). The sum of 55 + 34 is 89. This is the next number in the sequence.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat intrigued Fibonacci about this sequence was not the numbers themselves but rather the relationships among the numbers, or the ratios created by various numbers in the sequence. Perhaps the most important ratio is 1.618, also known as the golden ratio, or golden mean. This number can be found throughout nature (in sea shells, growth rings, etc.) and throughout the Fibonacci sequence. Each number in the Fibonacci sequence is 1.618 times larger than the preceding number. For example, 89 is 1.618 times larger than 55 (89/55 = 1.618).\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv id=\u0027text_slider_slide04\u0027 class=\u0027sa_hover_container\u0027 data-hash=\u0027Fibonacci-Retracements\u0027 style=\u0027padding:4.9% 5%; margin:0px 0%; background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); min-height:400px; \u0027\u003e\u003ch3 style=\u0022text-align: left\u0022\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\u0022color: #f1566d\u0022\u003e3.4 Fibonacci Retracements\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg loading=\u0022lazy\u0022 decoding=\u0022async\u0022 class=\u0022alignnone size-medium wp-image-29486 aligncenter\u0022 src=\u0022https://www.5paisa.com/hindi/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/3.4-300x300.png\u0022 alt=\u0022\u0022 width=\u0022300\u0022 height=\u0022300\u0022 srcset=\u0022https://www.5paisa.com/hindi/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/3.4-300x300.png 300w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/3.4-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/3.4-150x150.png 150w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/3.4-768x768.png 768w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/3.4-50x50.png 50w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/3.4-100x100.png 100w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/3.4-96x96.png 96w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/3.4.png 1080w\u0022 sizes=\u0022(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\u0022 /\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen a stock price reverses trend, traders naturally want to know how far the stock is most likely to move in its new direction.
