I have found the book "The psychology of technical analysis" by Anthony 
Plummer to be an excellent reference.  It provides a good overview of mass 
psychology, fibo numbers and tries to make a theoretical tie between fibo #s 
and mass psychology.  It also offers some specific trading methodologies 
based on Fibo #s.
