first test run: psychological effect range theory applied to fib

Most things are written on the chart. I have hidden the reference fib itself as it is specifically edited for a certain purpose, but I base it on the psychological effect range theory (should be easy to figure out my methodology just knowing that) as well as the silver ratio for highs rather than the somewhat misused golden ratio (it's not really that prevalent in things, but... the silver ratio is). If it pans out I will show it perhaps

If you are not familiar with the silver ratio it is 1+sqrt(2), or 2.4142~. It is an irrational number. It is an infinitely descending series of 2 + 1 over itself. i.imgur.com/a00dZhM.png image so it makes more sense
First we need to know why fib is naturally flawed (a fib haha!) as a tool. phi (yawn trdvw wont let me post the greek letter), phi = 1 + sqrt(5) / 2. Now, this seems to be too complex needlessly to me. Nature is simplistic in its foundation, but simple in its own way. It is highly irrational when it begins to contend with shapes that are not squares. A circle by definition is irrational, since it is made of an infinite number of angles, and this concept is best described as an o.

But regardless of how people talk about it it's not proven in any measure to be truthful, BUT can be used it certain ways to frame one's set of planning, better than no planning and all.

so what makes more sense for a deterministic chart

1+sqrt(5)/2 or 1+sqrt(2)?

trick question, neither does.

However, I am using it as my upper range in regards to the fib retracement tool. It is the 'end goal'- of the bull run. this happens to be 25k, if you don't zoom around the chart. the first target, however, is the sqrt(2), 1.4142. that's at 20,400, and completely reasonable to blow past should the psychological barrier of 20k (which is 2/3rd of the way from the line below sqrt(2) and the previous line, btw).

There is the math behind the levels being picked, but really, the concept underlies effect range theory, in that most people tend to over or underreact to situations, and if in a median approach, tend to end up in another one before too long.

The trend sections on my (not shown, but published privately yesterday for honesty's sake) chart show the channels of interest mostly lining up with profit/loss; if a range is being overused, it won't want to stay in that range, otherwise what's the point? you're trading the same amounts for the same amounts.

I am rather new to financial markets but not new to analysis so I welcome anyone who can lead me to those that already decided/figured some of these out. I am still studying and trying to learn.

okay maybe I got the timing better this time

oh, I mentioned on this one there was too much bank support. I guess that was right.
