There are two primary ways to use Fibonacci analysis in trading. One is to identify or confirm support or resistance levels, and the other is to help identify price targets. Often times, a trader will look at a market and realize that when they were not paying attention, a significant level of support or resistance was broken and the market has already moved significantly. Fibonacci analysis can be very helpful in this situation.
If you ask any technical trader which charting tool they rely on the most, Fibonacci retracement would probably come fairly high up on the list.
