Bitcoin price broke above its 2019 high, and after that, took off another $5,000. The reason why the level was so critical to confirming a reversal back into a bull market, was due to the resistance residing at the golden ratio – based on the Fibonacci sequence.

Today, to celebrate both Fibonacci Day and Bitcoin’s breakout beyond the key zone, we’re taking a deep look at the importance of Fibonacci retracement levels in financial markets like cryptocurrencies.

What Is Fibonacci Sequence And Why How Does It Apply To BTCUSD Technical Analysis?

Although Bitcoin is an asset unlike any other before it, it still tends to follow the same laws and dynamics that govern financial markets. The cryptocurrency goes through market cycles where sentiment shifts from bullish to bearish and back, and responds the same to support and resistance as forex, stocks, commodities, and more.

The entire Bitcoin code is built on mathematical code, and everything down to the number of BTC and the block reward halving mechanism relies heavily on math.

It is only fitting then, that Bitcoin and other crypto assets built on math, respond so well to mathematical levels of support and resistance.

These mathematical levels tend to reside at ratios based on the Fibonacci sequence, in which the sum of the previous two numbers makes up the current number and so forth indefinitely.

On November 23rd the world celebrates the famous Italian mathematician that first made sense out of the numbers found everywhere in nature.

Leonardo Bonacci of Pisa was the author of Liber Abaci, also known as The Book of Calculation. Using the sequence, he could with a degree of accuracy predict the future population of rabbits. The numbers have since been used to predict all sorts of outcomes, and its ratios – specifically the golden ratio or divine proportion is of specific importance.

How Bitcoin And Altcoins React To Fibonacci Retracement Levels

In the chart above, Bitcoin’s 2019 high was the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level – the golden ratio. Getting back above it, signaled to the market that a reversal was taking place.

Holding there last year, kept the cryptocurrency in the troughs of bear territory. The chart above also demonstrates on the way down from Bitcoin’s all-time high, each corresponding bear market peak, almost perfectly stopped at each subsequently lower Fibonacci retracement level.

Each level also runs directly through some of the asset’s most critical support and resistance zones, but why? It isn’t clear why markets behave in such a way, but 0.618 often acts as the most important resistance or support level in any asset – not just Bitcoin.

Fibonacci extensions, such as the 1.618, could act as resistance after a new all-time high is set. And with the golden ratio acting as an ideal place to buy support or sell resistance, 0.618 could be a logical place for any correction to fall to.

If Bitcoin has put in a short term top and corrects from the current prices, the 0.618 level could be the primary target. The cryptocurrency could find support at any of the Fib levels above there, but in past bull markets, it was right on the money.

I'm Tony Spilotro. Behind the pseudonym, I'm a global remote work leader with a decade of award-winning content experience and excellence. Here, I explore my newfound passions pertaining to privacy, finance, economics, politics, cryptography, property rights, and other libertarian-esque views. I am a Bitcoin evangelist, maximalist, and educator whenever I can be, helping to spread its message of freedom from government control, monetary policy mismanagement, and passing the buck - literally – to future generations. My journey from a curious retail crypto investor to a serious Bitcoin advocate, trader, and technical analyst is an unusual one, but life-changing nonetheless and has become less about money and more about a long-overdue revolution. While a firm believer in the laws governing math and science, I am profoundly fascinated by the impact of astrology and astronomy including moon and solar cycles and planetary alignment and their ability to influence and potentially predict markets. It hasn't yet clicked for me as to how to put anything to use, but I consider it my current rabbit hole I can't yet dig out of. My perspective of growing up alongside the internet, the dot com era, the Great Recession, and roots in video games collecting coins and rare items caused Bitcoin to immediately make sense to me. Through all of these lenses, I seek to produce content that is educational and entertaining, and I thank you sincerely for taking the time to read what I have to say.
