Fibonacci levels are more than just lines on a chart. They’re the roadmap smart traders use to anticipate market reversals, breakouts, and trend continuations.
FibMaster™ takes Fibonacci analysis to a new level. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, it adapts to your asset class (forex, stocks, crypto, or commodities) applying precision-calculated retracements, extensions, and trend zones in real time.
With built-in context examples, intelligent rounding, and flexible input modes, this tool makes finding your next high-probability setup faster, easier, and more accurate than ever.

Key Fibonacci Levels
Guidance
The table lists calculated Retracement levels (potential support in uptrend / resistance in downtrend) and Extension levels (potential targets). Look for price reactions near these levels on your actual charts.
Retracements like 38.2%, 50%, and 61.8% are common pullback areas. Extensions like 127.2% and 161.8% are often used as initial profit targets. Remember, these are potential zones, not guarantees.
This tab shows the visual representation of your Fibonacci levels.

This tab shows the calculated results for each key metric with expandable rows that reveal the detailed mathematical formulas and step-by-step calculations used to derive each value.
Fibonacci Levels Chart
This visualization shows the calculated Fibonacci levels relative to your input High/Low range (shaded area).
- Retracement Levels: Potential support in uptrend or resistance in downtrend.
- Extension Levels: Potential price targets beyond the initial swing.
Hover over or click on a level line to highlight it and see its details. The chart helps you visualize the relationship between different Fibonacci levels.
- Select Trend Direction: Choose ‘Uptrend’ if analyzing a move from a Swing Low up to a Swing High. Choose ‘Downtrend’ if analyzing a move from a Swing High down to a Swing Low.
- Enter High Price: Input the price of the identified Swing High.
- Enter Low Price: Input the price of the identified Swing Low.
- Select Asset: Choose the asset from the dropdown. This is required and also sets decimal place formatting.
- Click Calculate: View the generated levels and chart.
What are Fibonacci Numbers & the Golden Ratio?
The sequence starts 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13… where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones. The ratio of consecutive numbers approaches the “Golden Ratio,” approximately 1.618 (or its inverse, 0.618). Key ratios derived from this sequence (\(23.6\%\), \(38.2\%\), \(50.0\%\), \(61.8\%\), \(78.6\%\), \(100.0\%\), \(127.2\%\), \(161.8\%\), etc.) are used in trading.
What are Fibonacci Retracements?
These levels indicate potential areas where price might pull back to during a correction within a larger trend. After identifying a significant price move (swing), traders plot retracement levels between the start and end of that move to watch for potential entry points or areas where the trend might resume.
What are Fibonacci Extensions?
These levels project potential price targets beyond the initial price swing. Once a pullback (retracement) seems complete, traders use extension levels based on the initial swing to estimate where the price might head next if the trend continues. They are often used for setting profit targets.
How to Identify Swing Highs & Swing Lows
A Swing High is a peak price point that is higher than the prices immediately surrounding it (e.g., …Lower High – Swing High – Lower High…). It represents a temporary turning point where selling pressure overcame buying pressure.
A Swing Low is a trough price point lower than the prices immediately surrounding it (e.g., …Higher Low – Swing Low – Higher Low…). It represents a temporary turning point where buying pressure overcame selling pressure.
Identifying these points is subjective and depends heavily on the trader’s chosen timeframe (e.g., daily, 4-hour, 1-hour) and the significance of the price move they are analyzing. The High Price and Low Price you enter into the calculator should correspond to a clearly identifiable Swing High and Swing Low on your chart for the trend leg you are analyzing.
Context is Key
Fibonacci levels are most effective when used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and indicators, such as trend lines, support/resistance zones, moving averages, candlestick patterns, and momentum oscillators. They work best in clearly trending markets. Do not rely on Fibonacci levels alone for trading decisions.
FAQ
- Q: Are Fibonacci levels guaranteed support/resistance or targets?
- A: No. They are potential areas of interest where price *might* react. They are probabilistic tools, not predictive certainties. Always use risk management.
- Q: Which timeframe is best for Fibonacci?
- A: Fibonacci levels can be applied to any timeframe (intraday, daily, weekly, monthly). The key is consistency and using swings relevant to your trading timeframe and strategy.
- Q: Does this calculator work for assets other than Forex?
- A: Yes, the mathematical principles of Fibonacci ratios are applied by technical analysts across various markets, including stocks, indices, commodities, and cryptocurrencies.
How to Use the FibMaster™ to Find Relevant Fibo Levels
FibMaster™ helps traders plot precise Fibonacci retracement and extension levels for both bullish and bearish market moves. Here’s how to get accurate levels in seconds:
- Identify Your Swing High & Swing Low: Use a reliable charting platform to pinpoint the recent high and low of your price move.
- Select Trend Direction: Choose whether you’re calculating retracements (pullbacks within a trend) or extensions (projected moves beyond the high/low).
- Enter Price Points: Input your high and low values, and FibMaster™ instantly outputs key Fibonacci levels (23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 78.6%, 100%, and beyond).
- Apply to Your Trading Plan: Use these levels to set potential entry zones, stop-loss placements, and profit targets.
Why Fibonacci Levels Matter in Trading
Fibonacci ratios have been used for decades by traders to identify potential reversal points and price targets. These levels are based on mathematical sequences, but their effectiveness comes from trader psychology and market crowd behavior. According to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), understanding technical tools like Fibonacci retracements can help traders make more informed, disciplined decisions rather than chasing price moves emotionally.
The Formulas Behind FibMaster™
For an uptrend:
Retracement Level = High - ((High - Low) × Fibonacci Ratio)
For a downtrend:
Retracement Level = Low + ((High - Low) × Fibonacci Ratio)
Extensions use similar formulas but project beyond the 100% move, e.g., 127.2% and 161.8% levels.
Real-World Example
Suppose EUR/USD rallies from 1.0500 to 1.1000. A 61.8% retracement level would be:
1.1000 - ((1.1000 - 1.0500) × 0.618) = 1.0691
This means if price pulls back to ~1.0691, many traders may watch for a potential bullish continuation, making it a high-interest area.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I use Fibonacci levels in any market?
Yes. The math works the same in forex, stocks, commodities, crypto, and futures. Market volatility may affect how precise they are in practice.
Which Fibonacci levels are most important?
The most widely watched are 38.2%, 50%, and 61.8% retracements, along with 127.2% and 161.8% extensions. Some traders also monitor 78.6% for deep pullbacks.
Are Fibonacci levels guaranteed to work?
No. Like all technical tools, they are best used in conjunction with other forms of analysis, such as support/resistance zones and market structure.
Do institutional traders use Fibonacci tools?
Yes, but often alongside order flow, volume profiles, and proprietary models. Fibonacci levels are a common element of institutional technical toolkits.
