• A consistent decline in stock price over time

• A temporary rally during a downtrend that misleads traders

• A sudden increase in stock price during an uptrend

• A modern-day economist who developed the concept of bull traps

• A financial advisor known for predicting market crashes

How are Fibonacci retracement lines created on a stock chart?

• By choosing a major peak and trough and drawing horizontal lines at key ratios

• By drawing vertical lines at random intervals

In the S&P 500 example, what was the significance of the 23.6% retracement level?

• It was a resistance level that the price struggled to break through

• It indicated a new long-term uptrend

• It was the highest point reached during the rally

What is the role of moving averages in confirming an upward move?

• They identify the lowest point in a downtrend

• They are used to calculate Fibonacci ratios

• They confirm the establishment of a new trend

• They predict future market crashes
