Combining Fibonacci retracement, Gann angles, and the moving average in FX

A 2002 currency-chart workflow used Fibonacci retracement as a first-pass map of pullbacks, then Gann angles to make that map more date- and angle-specific, then the moving average to check divergences on a short FX horizon.

  • Daily currency work in the 2002 source began with typical Fibonacci retracement as a first-pass map of price pullbacks.
  • Gann angles were added next so the map was more date- and angle-specific than Fibonacci levels alone.
  • The moving average step looked for divergences and paired chosen calendar dates with chosen average lengths rather than standing as a lone overlay.
  • On a day-to-day horizon the source ranked order flow and technicals above fundamentals, and treated currency technicals as shorter-horizon than the same tools in many other markets.

How the daily workflow was stacked

Daily currency technical work described in the 2002 source used typical Fibonacci retracement as a first-pass map of price pullbacks.

The same workflow then added Gann angles so the resulting map was more date- and angle-specific than Fibonacci levels alone.

A moving average was used next, with attention to divergences between averages or between the currency and its average. The moving-average step also combined chosen calendar dates with chosen average lengths rather than treating the average as a standalone overlay.

The FX setting that shaped the stack

On a day-to-day horizon the source ranked order flow and technicals above fundamentals, which were treated as a long-horizon backdrop rather than a daily timing tool.

Currency technicals were described as shorter-horizon than the same tools in many other markets, matching a 24-hour cash market that does not pause like a listed equity session.

Tradeable FX concentration was described as a small set of major pairs rather than a broad single-name universe, which the source tied to a more globally shared price tape.

The dollar-yen reference rate

A long-term dollar-yen chart was treated as having 120 as the most significant reference rate, with the pair again approaching that level after a 1995 low near 80 and a 1998 high near 146.

Weekly US Dollar Index from 1993 through early 2002, read off the printed chart. The index climbs from the low 80s in 1993, bottoms near 81 in 1995, then trends higher to about 120 by 2001 before slipping. Luca used this series to argue the dollar had peaked around 2000 and was then trading sideways rather than reversing.
