Calculate retracement and extension levels. Essential support/resistance tool used by professional traders worldwide.
Answer Capsule: Fibonacci retracement levels (23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 78.6%) identify potential pullback entry points in trending markets. The 61.8% golden ratio is the most watched level by institutional traders worldwide.
Retracement Formula: Level = High −(High −Low) × Ratio

Extension Formula: Level = High + (High −Low) × Ratio (for upside targets at 127.2%, 161.8%, 261.8%)
Why it works: These ratios appear throughout nature, architecture, and financial markets because large groups of traders collectively watch them —creating self-fulfilling support and resistance.
