The tool focuses on timing rather than price.<\/p>\n<p>This guide explains how Fibonacci Time Zones work, how to use them, and how Indian traders can apply them.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-are-fibonacci-time-zones\">What Are Fibonacci Time Zones?<\/h2>\n<p>Fibonacci Time Zones are vertical lines spaced apart based on Fibonacci numbers: 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, and so on.

You apply Fibonacci Time Zones from that low. The next vertical lines fall at sessions 8, 13, and 21.<\/p>\n<p>If price approaches resistance near the 13th session and forms a reversal candle, the timing supports the price signal.
