    I know quite a few here are into Fib sequences and their relevance to trading reversals and resistance points.
    For those that don't know 50% is not part of the sequence but is often used as part of the sequence anyway. "Go Figure".

    Anyhow, for those that are unfamiliar with how the Fibonacci sequence works here is an example from one of his earlier studies.

    1.1 Fibonacci's Rabbits

    The original problem that Fibonacci investigated (in the year 1202) was about how fast rabbits could breed in ideal circumstances.
    Suppose a newly-born pair of rabbits, one male, one female, are put in a field. Rabbits are able to mate at the age of one month so that at the end of its second month a female can produce another pair of rabbits. Suppose that our rabbits never die and that the female always produces one new pair (one male, one female) every month from the second month on. The puzzle that Fibonacci posed was...
    How many pairs will there be in one year?
    1. At the end of the first month, they mate, but there is still one only 1 pair.
    2. At the end of the second month the female produces a new pair, so now there are 2 pairs of rabbits in the field.
    3. At the end of the third month, the original female produces a second pair, making 3 pairs in all in the field.
    4. At the end of the fourth month, the original female has produced yet another new pair, the female born two months ago produces her first pair also, making 5 pairs.

    The number of pairs of rabbits in the field at the start of each month is 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ...​
