Fibonacci retracement is a widely used technical analysis tool rooted in the Fibonacci sequence, which is a series of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones. The levels derived from this sequence (such as 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, and 100%) are seen as potential support and resistance levels during a stock's price movement.

The concept originated from the work of the Italian mathematician Leonardo of Pisa, known as Fibonacci, in the 13th century. His sequence and the ratios derived from it have been applied in various fields, including finance, to predict potential price retracements after significant market movements. In essence, traders believe that after a significant price increase or decrease, the price will often retrace a certain percentage of that movement before continuing in the original direction. This phenomenon is closely linked to human psychology and market behavior, where investors often react similarly to price changes.

Key level values:

0%. End point. The extreme value of the price. The grid is stretched from the beginning of the trend to its end. Therefore, for an upward chart, 0% will be at its high, for a downtrend – at its low.

23.6%. Relatively weak level. If a correction has begun, most often it breaks through it.

38.2%. One of the key correction levels. If the main price pulls strong, the correction will end here with the highest probability.

50%. Intermediate level. It’s not included in the Fibonacci sequence. According to the theory, the price tends to retrace 1/3 to 1/2 the length of the previous trend before continuing the main movement. When it’s passed by the price, this is a signal that the correction is turning into the main direction of price movement.

61.8%. One of the key levels. If the price breaks through it, it can go further.

76.4%. Relatively weak level. It can act as the first correction line for a new trend.

100%. Starting point. Extreme price value, from which the grid stretches to 0%. This is the beginning, or the low, for an upward movement. For a downward trend, this is its high.
