Fibonacci retracement and extension
Fibonacci retracement and extension is a technical analysis tool that uses horizontal lines to identify potential levels of support and resistance in an asset’s price movement. By plotting the price swings from high to low, traders can use the Fibonacci ratio of 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, and 100% to forecast where the price may retrace or extend to. The Fibonacci retracement levels are used to determine the support levels, while the Fibonacci extension levels are used to identify potential profit-taking levels.
