Fibonacci Retracements

38.2 / 50 / 61.8% retracement levels.

What are Fibonacci Retracements?

Fibonacci Retracements identify key price levels where a trend is likely to retrace before continuing. The three levels (38.2%, 50%, 61.8%) are derived from the golden ratio and Fibonacci sequence.

Parameters (38.2/50/61.8%)

  • X-Axis: Time (retracement detection dates)
  • Y-Axis: Price levels (auto-scaled)
  • 38.2%: Shallow retracement (solid, highest)
  • 50.0%: Half retracement (dotted, middle)
  • 61.8%: Golden ratio level (dashed, lowest)

Interpretation

  • 38.2% Bounce: Strong trend — shallow pullback
  • 50% is a psychological level — common reversal
  • 61.8% Hold: The "golden pocket" — deepest healthy retrace
  • 61.8% Break: Often signals trend reversal

Trading Signals

  • Bounce from 38.2% = strong trend continuation
  • Bounce from 50% = normal retracement, trend intact
  • Bounce from 61.8% = deep retracement — last line of defense
  • Close below 61.8% = potential trend reversal

Price Overlay

  • Close Price: Actual closing price (same Y-axis, dashed violet)
  • Price bouncing at 38.2% = shallow pullback, strong trend
  • Price holding at 50% = common reversal zone
  • Price breaking 61.8% = trend reversal likely
