Fibonacci Bands from Rolling Price Ranges and a Moving Average

Article ProRealCode

Summary

The document proposes continuous Fibonacci-style support and resistance bands built from a rolling high-low range and a moving average of closing prices. A central pivot is calculated from the range extremes and average close; fractions of the range are then added to and subtracted from that pivot to form levels. The author recommends displaying the zones between the first and second support and resistance bands, describing them as areas where traders might watch for a rebound or a developing trend. A higher timeframe and volume are suggested as confirmation.

The example uses a Dow futures hourly chart and claims the bands mark market boundaries more clearly than Bollinger Bands, with stronger respect on longer timeframes. This is a visual assertion, not supported by systematic test results or quantified comparisons. The method depends on chosen lookback and average periods, and the post offers optional use of highs and lows or closing prices for the range. It should therefore be treated as an indicator proposal whose signals require independent validation.

Key ideas

  • The bands scale Fibonacci fractions of a rolling high-low range around a pivot incorporating average close.
  • The author highlights the zones between the first and second support or resistance levels as potential reaction areas.
  • Higher-timeframe context and volume are proposed as signal confirmation.
  • The claimed comparison with Bollinger Bands is visual and is not backed by quantified testing.
