Peak to Flip: A 50% Story That Repeated

This post is educational and observational in nature based on historical price action on a monthly timeframe. It is not a forecast or a trading recommendation.

1) Marked on this chart in white are three separate flip zones. A flip zone is a price level that once acted as resistance, and after being broken and sustained above, converted into support. Markets often revisit these levels later, and when they hold from above, it confirms the flip.

2) Each time one of these flip zones formed, a similar sequence followed. Price rallied from the flip zone, reached a peak, meaning the highest point of that particular move, and then fell back down. What stood out across all three instances is where that fall eventually found support.
In each of the three cases, the decline from peak to bottom landed close to a 50% retracement of that move, and in each case, the level where price stopped falling was the same flip zone that had originally supported the rally. The zone that launched the move also caught the fall.

3) This is not a rule, not a strategy and not a signal to act on. It is simply a repeated observation across this specific chart, on this specific timeframe, three separate times. Seeing the same relationship between a flip zone, a rally, a peak and a roughly 50% retracement recurring more than once is the kind of pattern recognition that comes only from spending time studying price history closely.
