At this level, buying interest may begin to outweigh selling pressure, potentially slowing or reversing the decline. Support can be compared to a floor where the price may bounce off after reaching it.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-HUHwdq3ugoyE1kxpe0auYn8EsDd"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Lsdbd5O89oeoDZxecPDuIIlNsHd"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Resistance is a price level where a rising market may stall or pull back. At this level, selling pressure may begin to outweigh buying interest as traders take profits or reduce their positions. Resistance can be compared to a ceiling that the price may struggle to break through.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-UKcTdS8Y4o571Qxn0RlunftAsBf"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-RG9gd5vRFo3O4sxNM7Nu0a1usuc"><span style="font-size: 16px;">For example, suppose a crypto asset has fallen to around $10,000 three times over the past six months and rebounded quickly each time. The $10,000 level could be considered strong support. If the asset has repeatedly approached $12,000 but failed to break above it, $12,000 could be considered a clear resistance level.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-TyoBdCudcojF6qxlnPtuE1vmsEd"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><h2 class="heading-2 ace-line old-record-id-OJgddEA8soEsTmxR7nPuhEFRsUc"><strong>2.

What Is Fibonacci Retracement?</strong></h2><div style="text-align:left" class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxus2i5SZ9iBr3ZOY5UyPEXnie"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div style="text-align:left" class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusSkBr77P6BtSw9EFAEyR40g"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><a data-lark-is-custom="true" href="https://www.mexc.com/crypto-glossary/article/fibonacci-retracement-30298">Fibonacci retracement</a> is based on the Fibonacci sequence, which was introduced to Western mathematics by Italian mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, and so on. Each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers. As the sequence continues, the ratio of each number to the following number approaches 0.618, which is known as the golden ratio.</span></div><div style="text-align:left" class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusyz6oXyfNEeQJNenBPfmI2b"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div style="text-align:left" class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusE5rRqVH18coWNMitGmH55f"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Applying these ratios to price charts produces the key retracement levels used in trading: 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, and 78.6%. Although 50% is not strictly a Fibonacci ratio, it is widely used because it represents the psychological threshold at which price has retraced half of its previous move.</span></div><div style="text-align:left" class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusbh7gUyYYci9GgwWrJqh2Ub"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div style="text-align:left" class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxus0hsGWrqjusHWt1XaspsXvh"><span style="font-size: 16px;">After a clear upward or downward move, price often retraces instead of continuing in one direction without interruption. The Fibonacci retracement tool can help traders identify price areas where a pullback may pause, providing potential opportunities to trade in the direction of the prevailing trend.</span></div><div style="text-align:left" class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusP5Vbl25rMDOYN9OBlLyhqe"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><h2 class="heading-2 ace-line old-record-id-doxustUeSHHJZLAgZCntCvj8RNh"><strong>2.

In an uptrend, drag from the swing low to the swing high. In a downtrend, reverse the direction. Then observe how price reacts near the key levels of 38.2%, 50%, and 61.8%, and use other indicators for confirmation before entering a position.</span></div><div style="text-align:left" class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusZQk6gwQmJ8vTjZuQtDIyEc"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><h3 style="text-align:left" class="heading-3 ace-line old-record-id-doxusnTRf6SPSlqynxh5VuVuDxc"><span style="font-size: 16px;">8.2 What is the golden rule of Fibonacci retracement?</span></h3><div style="text-align:left" class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusfvS20RvFwVNlYL5Rmhj2wd"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div style="text-align:left" class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxus69L7dXL470Pposd7qJDiPc"><span style="font-size: 16px;">The golden rule is to pay close attention to the 61.8% golden ratio level.

The following steps outline a trading approach:</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-W6PadCj8FoJxCdxiChguUgVlsne"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Uud2duIV0oIWLzx1sqQu5iAosyc"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong>1）</strong><strong>Wait for confirmation rather than trying to predict the top.</strong> Avoid rushing into a short position as soon as prices begin to rebound, as entering too early can expose you to a short squeeze. Wait for clear signs of weakness, such as rejection at resistance, a bearish candlestick pattern, or a break below a swing low formed during the rebound.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-MFqTdOK5fo9aKkxXaC8uB2Yss0e"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-PXy6dX5rzo0hUoxxVACufObUsbh"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong>2）</strong><strong>Choose an entry point.</strong> Traders may consider opening a short position when the price breaks below the most recent swing low formed during the rebound and a candle closes below that level. This provides further evidence of a failed recovery and a potential continuation of the downtrend.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-HL8DdUg4goImWwxud2iuHiQ4skd"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-ZHVZdCfcxozmefxOt2HuWGHbs2K"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong>3）</strong><strong>Set a stop-loss.</strong> A stop-loss can be placed above the rebound high to help limit losses if the initial assessment proves incorrect and the rebound develops into a genuine reversal. Execution at the specified price is not guaranteed.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-SHGzdtbX4oXvgDxtnlMu2cbnsgd"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-QYv1d1PDhoLwL5xZxnRuX5Ijsxf"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong>4）</strong><strong>Set a price target.</strong> One approach is to project the magnitude of the preceding decline downward from the broken swing low. This provides a reference target rather than a guaranteed minimum move.

A genuine reversal develops higher highs and higher lows, breaks above resistance, and is often supported by stronger trading volume.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-FTD0dz5WIoIhRhxnx0WuM3QJsjd"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><h3 class="heading-3 ace-line old-record-id-Hpomdj8j0ohF4yx7o7zuY5LXs7c"><strong style="font-size: 16px;">7.3 What is the opposite of a dead cat bounce?</strong></h3><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-OFvddBZ9ToNJAgxyPCFuMNXwsEq"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-XpAHd6ShGoRIwWxVwEEujTb6sFg"><span style="font-size: 16px;">A similar pattern in the opposite direction is sometimes called an inverted dead cat bounce, a brief decline during an uptrend followed by renewed gains.

Arms Jr. EMV fluctuates above and below the zero line. Its primary purpose is to quantify the relationship between price and volume and measure how easily prices move.</span></div><div style="text-align:left" class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusaeyRoL5kPJWVikwQN9J0tg"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div style="text-align:left" class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusIghfxgswskV6tWdxPuJyNb"><span style="font-size: 16px;">When prices rise significantly relative to trading volume, EMV tends to produce a positive value, indicating relatively easy upward price movement. Conversely, when prices fall significantly relative to trading volume, EMV tends to produce a negative value, indicating relatively easy downward price movement. If prices move only slightly despite high volume, price movement is difficult and EMV tends to remain near zero.</span></div><div style="text-align:left" class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusFMtJ0suhmwHGiN2sWFzwSf"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><h2 class="heading-2 ace-line old-record-id-doxusKMazucP7WuyLF3m3uaNLMb"><strong>2.

This indicates that the average price over the shorter period has risen above the average price over the longer period. Traders commonly interpret this crossover as a potential bullish signal.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-HkAddUcldodkKFxtmZSuk1iDsgh"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div style="white-space:pre;" class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-RQhXdPUNDorh3exIdIluKAbksMh"><span style="font-size: 16px;">A <strong>death cross</strong> is the opposite formation. It occurs when a short-term moving average crosses below a long-term moving average. This indicates that the average price over the shorter period has fallen below the average price over the longer period. Traders commonly interpret this crossover as a potential bearish signal.

It is calculated by adding an asset's closing prices over a specified period and dividing the total by the number of periods. As new price data becomes available, the calculation updates, forming a smooth line on the chart.</span></div><div style="text-align:left" class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusx0FTqPRzrjdaO1JLrEqyNy"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div style="text-align:left" class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusbCb4vUEY2mR4tQLTRbAxvc"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Prices often fluctuate rapidly during normal market activity, which can make trends difficult to identify. The SMA filters out some of this short-term noise and helps traders see the market's overall direction more clearly.</span></div><div style="text-align:left" class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusvxMeY8kmIvzmmYVSd20ght"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><h2 class="heading-2 ace-line old-record-id-doxusyXwmn7Pfqa5nzHjC9lEp9b"><strong>2.

It is commonly used by short-term and swing traders to identify near-term momentum.</span></div><div style="text-align:left" class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusKkYlRof8G4W6tXF3AyRCCa"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div style="text-align:left" class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxustOzXV17juUPfS5CurgWmMd"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong>50-day SMA (medium term):</strong> This balances responsiveness and stability. It is often used as dynamic support or resistance within a trend and is well suited to medium-term traders.</span></div><div style="text-align:left" class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusyg0ETLTGalnAPmj4sMf6Qg"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div style="text-align:left" class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusXqhaX8K62k5Z6thSxWnDG6"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong>200-day SMA (long term, or 200 DMA):</strong> This is one of the most closely watched long-term trend indicators among institutional traders. When the price is above the 200-day SMA, the broader market bias is generally bullish. A move below the 200-day SMA is generally considered bearish.

During an uptrend, a pullback toward the SMA may find support and rebound, indicating a potential entry opportunity. During a downtrend, a rally toward the SMA may encounter resistance and reverse, providing a possible signal to reduce a position or exit. Longer-period moving averages generally provide stronger support and resistance than shorter-period averages.</span></div><div style="text-align:left" class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusGaOTVn8bft4qik3CUCIcuc"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><h3 style="text-align:left" class="heading-3 ace-line old-record-id-doxus0ukAywqdlAR1gUHn1lSY3b"><span style="font-size: 16px;">3.3 Use golden cross and death cross singals</span></h3><div style="text-align:left" class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusvDooxGMo8PS2Bu3rIN3l2f"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div style="text-align:left" class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusjDtGAG1VZ4WsfWvdkm8RDh"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Moving average crossovers are among the most widely recognized trading signals. A golden cross occurs when a short-term moving average, such as the 50-day SMA, crosses above a long-term moving average, such as the 200-day SMA. It is generally viewed as a bullish signal that may indicate the strengthening of an uptrend. Conversely, a death cross occurs when the short-term moving average crosses below the long-term moving average and is viewed as a bearish signal. Rising trading volume around a crossover may provide additional confirmation.</span></div><div style="text-align:left" class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxustc3O2h8MHj2fSHdr7PruPf"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><h2 class="heading-2 ace-line old-record-id-doxusmLVFhw7292nOXS0HFevoeb"><strong>4.

It generally moves more smoothly and responds more slowly to recent price changes than the EMA, and is often better suited to identifying medium- and long-term trends. The <a data-lark-is-custom="true" href="https://www.mexc.com/support/article/how-to-use-the-exponential-moving-average-indicator-in-trading-416907527621799936">Exponential Moving Average (EMA)</a> gives more weight to recent prices, making it more responsive and better suited to short-term trading, although it is also more likely to produce false signals.</span></div><div style="text-align:left" class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusCaCJtQWCPENP5Ei5FczFMf"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div style="text-align:left" class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusyvvP1LpPIVbXU0W9eeEuvc"><span style="font-size: 16px;">In general, intraday and short-term traders tend to prefer the EMA, while medium- and long-term traders and beginners may find the SMA more suitable. Neither indicator is inherently better. The right choice depends on your trading timeframe and strategy.</span></div><div style="text-align:left" class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxus6Y3kIHn8haxWb4kCDKUiae"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><h2 class="heading-2 ace-line old-record-id-doxus545DxkA2QiC79h7J79OEWf"><strong>5.

A price above the SMA suggests a bullish bias, while a price below it suggests a bearish bias. You can also use the SMA as dynamic support or resistance and combine it with golden cross and death cross signals to help time entries and exits.</span></div><div style="text-align:left" class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusP1CSPYJVuBXqJi7mjvEarf"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><h3 style="text-align:left" class="heading-3 ace-line old-record-id-doxusoARCwwgjVCXXenNRGJkG9n"><span style="font-size: 16px;">6.2 Which moving average settings should I use?</span></h3><div style="text-align:left" class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusrHDDcTGEAWD3HFYPktb6wb"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div style="text-align:left" class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxustGRSRtpc2nOrms6xjfrPnb"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Short-term traders often use a 10-day or 20-day SMA, medium-term traders commonly use a 50-day SMA, and long-term trend analysis often relies on a 200-day SMA.

Unlike a simple average price, VWAP assigns greater weight to price levels with higher trading volume. It therefore provides a more accurate representation of the market's average trading cost and perceived fair value.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-AAMCdoFzfo2QHZxG6raufEcRsrf"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-GazadZeTboceUAxO6bGu4ISRsTf"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Institutional investors commonly use VWAP as a benchmark for evaluating the execution quality of large orders. Individual traders can use it to assess whether the current market price is relatively high or low. A price below VWAP suggests that sellers are in control and that the asset is trading below its average price. A price above VWAP indicates that buyers have the advantage and that market sentiment is relatively bullish.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Gxbndc1IaogcBixTqfDuS4Bps5g"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><h2 class="heading-2 ace-line old-record-id-H052dyLgnoKWFFxc7NauJ14RsFc"><strong>2.

It provides clear dynamic support and resistance levels, offers an intuitive way to identify market trends, and is relatively easy for beginners to understand.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-E2jydNdKQo4OBfx97r8uCqVUs2b"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-BnnZdKB7wolEAUx1QRXu9FJEsMe"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong>Limitations:</strong> VWAP may be less reliable shortly after the market opens because limited trading data is available. As it is calculated using cumulative historical data, it is a lagging indicator, and the lag may become more noticeable as the trading session progresses. In a strong one-directional trend, pullback opportunities may also be limited, reducing the applicability of VWAP strategies. Standard VWAP resets daily and is therefore not suitable for long-term analysis.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-HDGxdTSd8oXRV5xUrpzuPbjdsnb"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><h2 class="heading-2 ace-line old-record-id-AD3adDLCloi0CXx2hOsumjkAsef"><strong>5.

Longer-term traders may use a longer period, such as 21 or 28, to filter out market noise.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-XOg4dm5jkoYskQxi62euaJW6sdc"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><h3 class="heading-3 ace-line old-record-id-B347deI1mo1N06xBeruuUrX0sGe"><strong style="font-size: 16px;">6.4 How accurate is WR?</strong></h3><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-RjQQdWnoAo1Ta8xmgf2ue9cCscd"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-JFRBd1ViDoIzNbxP7qfuPS3qsxh"><span style="font-size: 16px;">WR signals may be more reliable in markets with clearly defined trends, but the indicator can generate false signals in range-bound conditions.

WR measures the position of the closing price relative to the highest price within a selected range and tends to be more responsive.

The Stochastic Oscillator uses the lowest price within the range as its reference point and moves between 0 and 100. The two indicators are fundamentally similar and produce almost identical patterns, but their scales move in opposite directions.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Obo2dCBo0opLvwxpzizuYW7vskb"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><h3 class="heading-3 ace-line old-record-id-PU5ddZ8mUo31guxPeKBuvRhDsBd"><strong style="font-size: 16px;">6.7 How can I use WR for scalping?</strong></h3><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-NyhFdrpzWoQX20xHc4juZSCGs7n"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-GjzHdWlCOo33JIxxXXCuGghysrg"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Scalpers may shorten the period to around 7 and look for signals where the indicator exits an extreme zone on a lower-timeframe chart.
