Fibonacci Range Pivots for Trend Bias and Rebound Confirmation

Summary

This indicator builds four rolling price levels from the highest high, lowest low, and current close over lookback periods of 23, 38, 50, and 61 bars. It averages those levels to form a primary pivot, adjusts a secondary pivot using its prior value under specified price conditions, and averages the two for an “optimal” line. The indicator also selects the highest and lowest of the four range-based levels to define directional bias and a trend line.

The author proposes using the plotted pivots to confirm possible rebound areas: the thick line represents the averaged pivot, while the thinner trend line tracks an extreme level and changes with the bias. The document supplies the indicator logic but no backtest, performance evidence, or rules for entering and exiting trades. Its claims about pivot usefulness should therefore be treated as a charting hypothesis, and the fixed lookbacks may behave differently across instruments and timeframes.

Key ideas

• The indicator calculates range-based levels from four rolling lookback periods and the current close.
• It averages the levels to create primary and optimal pivot lines.
• The highest and lowest calculated levels define a directional bias and trend line.
• The author suggests using the pivots to confirm potential rebound areas, but provides no performance tests.
