Fibonacci Cycle Finder🟩 Fibonacci Cycle Finder is an indicator designed to explore Fibonacci-based waves and cycles through visualization and experimentation, introducing a trigonometric approach to market structure analysis. Unlike traditional Fibonacci tools that rely on static horizontal levels, this indicator incorporates the dynamic nature of market cycles, using adjustable wavelength, phase, and amplitude settings to visualize the rhythm of price movements. By applying a sine function, it provides a structured way to examine Fibonacci relationships in a non-linear context.
Fibonacci Cycle Finder unifies Fibonacci principles with a wave-based method by employing adjustable parameters to align each wave with real-time price action. By default, the wave begins with minimal curvature, preserving the structural familiarity of horizontal Fibonacci retracements. By adjusting the input parameters, the wave can subtly transition from a horizontal line to a more pronounced cycle,visualizing cyclical structures within price movement. This projective structure extends potential cyclical outlines on the chart, opening deeper exploration of how Fibonacci relationships may emerge over time.
Fibonacci Cycle Finder further underscores a non-linear representation of price by illustrating how wave-based logic can uncover shifts that are missed by static retracement tools. Rather than imposing immediate oscillatory behavior, the indicator encourages a progressive approach, where the parameters may be incrementally modified to align wave structures with observed price action. This refinement process deepens the exploration of Fibonacci relationships, offering a systematic way to experiment with non-linear price dynamics. In doing so, it revisits fundamental Fibonacci concepts, demonstrating their broader adaptability beyond fixed horizontal retracements.
🌀 THEORY & CONCEPT 🌀
What if Fibonacci relationships could be visualized as dynamic waves rather than confined to fixed horizontal levels? Fibonacci Cycle Finder introduces a trigonometric approach to market structure analysis, offering a different perspective on Fibonacci-based cycles. This tool provides a way to visualize market fluctuations through cyclical wave motion, opening the door to further exploration of Fibonacci’s role in non-linear price behavior.
Traditional Fibonacci tools, such as retracements and extensions, have long been used to identify potential support and resistance levels. While valuable for analyzing price trends, these tools assume linear price movement and rely on static horizontal levels. However, market fluctuations often exhibit cyclical tendencies , where price follows natural wave-like structures rather than strictly adhering to fixed retracement points. Although Fibonacci-based tools such as arcs, fans, and time zones attempt to address these patterns, they primarily apply geometric projections. The Fibonacci Cycle Finder takes a different approach by mapping Fibonacci ratios along structured wave cycles, aligning these relationships with the natural curvature of market movement rather than forcing them onto rigid price levels.
Rather than replacing traditional Fibonacci methods, the Fibonacci Cycle Finder supplements existing Fibonacci theory by introducing an exploratory approach to price structure analysis. It encourages traders to experiment with how Fibonacci ratios interact with cyclical price structures, offering an additional layer of insight beyond static retracements and extensions. This approach allows Fibonacci levels to be examined beyond their traditional static form, providing deeper insights into market fluctuations.
📊 FIBONACCI WAVE IMPLEMENTATION 📊
The Fibonacci Cycle Finder uses two user-defined swing points, A and B, as the foundation for projecting these Fibonacci waves. It first establishes standard horizontal levels that correspond to traditional Fibonacci retracements, ensuring a baseline reference before wave adjustments are applied. By default, the wave is intentionally subtle— Wavelength is set to 1 , Amplitude is set to 1 , and Phase is set to 0 . In other words, the wave starts as “stretched out.” This allows a slow, measured start, encouraging users to refine parameters incrementally rather than producing abrupt oscillations. As these parameters are increased, the wave takes on more distinct sine and cosine characteristics, offering a flexible approach to exploring Fibonacci-based cyclicity within price action.
Three parameters control the shape of the Fibonacci wave:
1️⃣ Wavelength Controls the horizontal spacing of the wave along the time axis, determining the length of one full cycle from peak to peak (or trough to trough). In this indicator, Wavelength acts as a scaling input that adjusts how far the wave extends across time, rather than a strict mathematical “wavelength.” Lower values further stretch the wave, increasing the spacing between oscillations, while higher values compress it into a more frequent cycle. Each full cycle is divided into four quarter-cycle segments, a deliberate design choice to minimize curvature by default. This allows for subtle oscillations and smoother transitions, preventing excessive distortion while maintaining flexibility in wave projections. The wavelength is calculated relative to the A-B swing, ensuring that its scale adapts dynamically to the selected price range.
2️⃣ Amplitude Defines the vertical displacement of the wave relative to the baseline Fibonacci level. Higher values increase the height of oscillations, while lower values reduce the height, Negative values will invert the wave’s initial direction. The amplitude is dynamically applied in relation to the A-B swing direction, ensuring that an upward swing results in upward oscillations and a downward swing results in downward oscillations.
3️⃣ Phase Shifts the wave’s starting position along its cycle, adjusting alignment relative to the swing points. A phase of 0 aligns with a sine wave, where the cycle starts at zero and rises. A phase of 25 aligns with a cosine wave, starting at a peak and descending. A phase of 50 inverts the sine wave, beginning at zero but falling first, while a phase of 75 aligns with an inverted cosine , starting at a trough and rising. Intermediate values between these phases create gradual shifts in wave positioning, allowing for finer alignment with observed market structures.
By fine-tuning these parameters, users can adapt Fibonacci waves to better reflect observed market behaviors. The wave structure integrates with price movements rather than simply overlaying static levels, allowing for a more dynamic representation of cyclical price tendencies. This indicator serves as an exploratory tool for understanding potential market rhythms, encouraging traders to test and visualize how Fibonacci principles extend beyond their traditional applications.
🖼️ CHART EXAMPLES 🖼️
Following this downtrend, price interacts with curved Fibonacci levels, highlighting resistance at the 0.236 and 0.382 levels, where price stalls before pulling back. Support emerges at the 0.5, 0.618, and 0.786 levels, where price finds stability and rebounds
In this Fibonacci retracement, price initially finds support at the 1.0 level, following the natural curvature of the cycle. Resistance forms at 0.786, leading to a pullback before price breaks through and tests 0.618 as resistance. Once 0.618 is breached, price moves upward to test 0.5, illustrating how Fibonacci-based cycles may align with evolving market structure beyond static, horizontal retracements.
Following this uptrend, price retraces downward and interacts with the Fibonacci levels, demonstrating both support and resistance at key levels such as 0.236, 0.382, 0.5, and 0.618.
With only the 0.5 and 1.0 levels enabled, this chart remains uncluttered while still highlighting key price interactions. The short cycle length results in a mild curvature, aligning smoothly with market movement. Price finds resistance at the 0.5 level while showing strong support at 1.0, which follows the natural flow of the market. Keeping the focus on fewer levels helps maintain clarity while still capturing how price reacts within the cycle.
