| + | ==== Fibonacci Numbers ==== | ||
| + | The Fibonacci number sequence (1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,… ) is constructed by adding the first two numbers to arrive at the third. The ratio of any number to the next number is 61.8 percent, which is a popular Fibonacci [[:glossary_r#retracement|retracement]] number. The inverse of 61.8 percent is 38.2 percent, also used as a Fibonacci retracement number. It is the ratio of the Fibonacci sequence that is important and valuable, not the actual numbers in the sequence. | ||

The flag represents a minor pause in a dynamic price trend. See our ChartSchool article on [[:chart_analysis:chart_patterns:flag_pennant_continuation|Flag, Pennant (Continuation)]]. | ||

| + | ==== Fundamental Analysis ==== | ||

| + | ==== Futures ==== | ||
