Support and ResistanceFibonacciPivot Based (Retrospective)

The Automatic Fibonacci Retracement Golden Pocket (GP) indicator automatically identifies and plots the significant 0.618 - 0.65 Fibonacci retracement zone from the most recent pivot points to current price action. This tool serves to highlight high-probability reversal zones where price frequently reacts, providing traders with an automated way to monitor key retracement levels.

Usage

The tool is designed to identify "Golden Pocket" zones, which are areas between the 0.618 and 0.65 Fibonacci levels. Traders often look for price to enter these zones as a sign of a potential trend continuation or reversal.

Examples of usage include:

  • Bullish Retracements: When the price makes a new high relative to a recent pivot low, the indicator plots the regular Golden Pocket as a potential support area.
  • Bearish Retracements (Inverted): By enabling the "Inverted" setting, the tool identifies retracement zones from recent pivot highs to new lows, acting as potential resistance.
  • Confluence Trading: It is recommended to use these zones in conjunction with other technical analysis tools, such as supply and demand zones or order blocks, to increase trade probability.
  • Timeframe Application: While functional on all timeframes, it is particularly effective on higher timeframes such as the 15m, 1h, or 4h charts.

Details

The script utilizes the ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow functions to detect significant market turning points based on a user-defined lookback period (Pivot Length). Once a pivot is established, the script tracks the extreme price reached since that pivot to calculate the Fibonacci ratios dynamically.

The Golden Pocket is defined by the space between the 0.618 and 0.65 retracement levels. The script also includes an optional 0.5 level, which represents the midpoint of the entire price move and often serves as a secondary level of interest.
