The sequence, shown below, simply says that the third number is
effectively the sum of previous two numbers -
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, and so on.
In this series, the real value lie's in the fact, that the ratio of any
number to the next higher number is approximately 0.618, and
the lower number is 1.618.
The key Fibonacci ratio of 61.8% - also referred to as "the golden
ratio" or "the golden mean" - is found by dividing one number in
the series by the number that follows it. For example: 8/13 =
0.6153, and 55/89 = 0.6179.
The 38.2% ratio is found by dividing one number in the series by
the number that is found two places to the right. For example:
Jyoti Budhia - 9324473734
55/144 = 0.3819.
Fib Numbers & Fib Ratios
These ratios seem to play an important role in the financial markets, just as they do in
nature, and can be used to determine critical points that cause price to reverse.
Price has an uncanny way of respecting Fibonacci ratio’s, often quite precisely. Hence
one can use the Fib ratios to ascertain the correct technical levels.
Price action is never random, and every wave leaves behind the clues for the next
move. We can thus, use the previous price action to determine the anticipated
price movement.
The direction of the prior trend is likely to continue once the price has
retraced to any of the ratios.
If the market is moving up and making new highs, Fib retraces will draw levels
BELOW the current price.

Ideal Situation
For price in an existing trend - when we are looking for a pullback to rejoin the existing
trend.
In case of a Correction, we plot the Fib retracement ratios on the previous existing
uptrend and vice-versa.
If the pullback is held within the Fib retracement levels, then the indication is that price
should resume the trend again.
Fibonacci extensions are a tool that traders can use to establish profit targets or
estimate how far a price may travel after a pullback is finished. Extension levels are
also possible areas where the price may reverse.
If the price breaks one fib level, it has a very high probability of going to the next fib
level.
For a valid entry into a fib level, one must have a candle close above/below the fib
level. (Candle close of the same time frame that one is referring to)
A high probability of reversal is considered when we have a strong candlestick
pattern/chart pattern (like a Doji or a divergence) forming on a fib level.
