Mercoledì il FTSE MIB ha registrato un leggero
rialzo attestandosi intorno a quota 52.300, consolidando in misura modesta i guadagni della
seduta precedente, trainato dai rialzi dei titoli energetici e finanziari. Le
 major petrolifere hanno guidato i rialzi: Eni è salita dell’1,4%, Tenaris dell’1,6% e
Saipem di oltre il 2%, sulla scia dell’aumento dei prezzi del greggio, che hanno registrato un rialzo
di circa il 4%. Anche i titoli finanziari hanno registrato un andamento generalmente positivo, tra cui Unipol  Gruppo (+1,7%), Mediobanca (+0,7%), Banca Mediolanum (+0,6%) e Banca 

Monte dei Paschi di Siena (+1%). Sul fronte negativo, i titoli tecnologici
hanno sottoperformato, con Prysmian e STMicroelectronics in calo dell’1,0% ciascuno,
mentre gli operatori attendevano i risultati finanziari chiave di Alphabet e Tesla
in programma nel corso della giornata. Anche i titoli del settore automobilistico e del lusso sono stati sotto pressione, con
perdite registrate da Ferrari (-0,9%), Stellantis (-0,6%), Moncler (-1,9%) e
Brunello Cucinelli (-0,8%).

The spiral of a galaxy. The structure of DNA. Even the creative peak of Picasso. All share something in common -- the Fibonacci ratio.

 

The Fibonacci sequence starts with 0 and 1, and each subsequent number is the sum of the previous two: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144 and so on.

 

After the first several numbers in the sequence, the ratio of any number to the next higher is approximately .618 to 1 and to the next lower number approximately 1.618 to 1. The further along the sequence, the closer the ratio approaches phi, or the Golden Ratio.

 

The illustration below shows how the DNA molecule spirals in Fibonacci proportion:

A 2014 Sunday Financial Times article noted that even human creativity may reflect the Fibonacci ratio. After analyzing 200 world-famous artists, researchers found that most created their best work just before two thirds -- 0.6198 -- of the way through life.

 

But what’s even more fascinating? Fibonacci ratios show up in financial markets, too.

 

In the early 20th century, market analyst Robert Rhea studied bull and bear markets from 1896 to 1932. He knew nothing of Fibonacci – but his results echoed it. To generalize his findings, the stock market on average advances by 1s and retreats by .618s.

 

We see Fibonacci ratios at work in the markets every day. And we use them – alongside Elliott waves – to forecast what’s likely next in stocks, gold, bonds and more.
