Start with the March 24th, 2000, S&P high and plug some of these numbers into the bar counts using the Fibonacci Cycles tool in Ensign Windows.   Over 80% are direct hits.  A chart has been attached showing the 180 series from the March 24th, 2000, high.  The 2nd chart shows the 180 series from the July 24th, 2002, low.
