Fibonacci Retracement

Definition

Fibonacci Retracement is a technical analysis tool used by traders to identify potential support and resistance levels in an asset’s price movement. It involves drawing horizontal lines at key Fibonacci ratios of 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, and 78.6% between two extreme price points, typically a swing high and a swing low. These levels are believed to indicate areas where the price might pause or reverse before continuing its overall trend. This tool helps anticipate price corrections within a larger trend, offering potential entry or exit points.
