Support and ResistanceFibonacciPivot Based (Retrospective)

The Fibonacci Pivot Zones indicator provides dynamic support and resistance levels by combining traditional pivot point calculations with Fibonacci-based deviations to identify high-probability reversal and target zones. This tool is designed to assist traders in both intraday and swing trading environments by projecting levels based on higher timeframe price action.

Usage

The tool can be applied across various timeframes to suit different trading styles. For example, a day trader might use Daily pivots on a 5-minute or 15-minute chart to find entry and exit points, while a swing trader might use Weekly or Monthly pivots on a Daily chart to identify long-term trend exhaustion points.

The primary use cases include:

  • Target Setting: Using Fibonacci extension levels as take-profit zones for existing trades.
  • Support/Resistance Identification: Trading reversals when price enters the colored zones created by the Fibonacci levels.
  • Trend Confirmation: Observing how price reacts to the central pivot point (PP) to determine the short-term bias.

Details

The indicator calculates a central Pivot Point (PP) using the Average Price (High + Low + Close / 3) of the previous specified session. From this central point, it projects multiple resistance (R1-R6) and support (S1-S6) levels.

The distance for these levels is determined by multiplying the previous session's range (High - Low) by specific Fibonacci ratios. By default, these ratios include common levels such as 0.382, 0.618, and 0.786. The script uses request.security to fetch data from higher timeframes, ensuring the levels remain consistent regardless of the current chart's resolution.

Settings

Main Settings

  • Timeframe: Determines the anchor period for the pivot calculations (e.g., Daily, Weekly, Monthly).
  • Show Only Last Period: When enabled, the indicator only displays the levels for the most recent session, reducing chart clutter.

  • Pivot Color: Sets the color for the central pivot point line.
  • Line Width/Transparency: Adjusts the visual thickness and opacity of the plotted levels.
  • Line Style: Changes the appearance of the levels (Solid, Circles, or Crosses).
  • Fill Zones: Toggles the background shading between specific Fibonacci level pairs to highlight zones.

Levels

  • F1 - F6: Allows users to input custom Fibonacci ratios for the six different support and resistance levels.

FAQ

How do I use these levels for intraday trading?

Most traders look for price to find support at the 'S' zones or encounter resistance at the 'R' zones. A common strategy is to wait for a price action confirmation, like a candlestick pattern, once the price enters a highlighted zone.

Can I change the Fibonacci ratios?

Yes, you can fully customize all six Fibonacci levels (F1 through F6) in the "Levels" section of the settings menu to match your specific strategy.
