The next Fibonacci number, 21, forecasts the next major low in April 2010 (21 months from the top).
Before we can understand why these ratios were chosen, we need to have a better understanding of the Fibonacci number series.
The Fibonacci number systems is a natural progression where the next number in the sequence is based on the preceeding two numbers, so the first five numbers are 1, 2 (1 + 1), 3, (1 + 2), 5 (3 + 2), 8 (5 + 3).
