In forex trading, Fibonacci levels are a popular technical analysis tool that is based on the Fibonacci sequence, a series of numbers in which each number is the sum of the two preceding ones, usually starting with 0 and 1. The Fibonacci levels are used to identify potential levels of support and resistance in the market by measuring the size of price movements and projecting the levels where the price may find support or resistance.

The main Fibonacci levels used in forex trading are:

*0.236 (23.6%)
*0.382 (38.2%)
*0.500 (50%)
*0.618 (61.8%)
*1.000 (100%)

When the price reaches a Fibonacci level, it is said to have reached a level of support or resistance and may be more likely to experience a reversal or a change in direction. Traders often use these levels in conjunction with other technical analysis tools, such as trend lines or moving averages, to confirm potential entry or exit points for trades. It's important to note that Fibonacci levels are not a guarantee of future price movements, and traders should use them in conjunction with other technical and fundamental analysis tools to make more informed trading decisions.

Fibonacci levels are often used to identify potential levels of support and resistance in the market. These levels are calculated by measuring the size of price movements and projecting the levels where the price may find support or resistance. Traders use Fibonacci retracement levels to predict where the price may retrace after an impulsive move, and Fibonacci extension levels to predict where the price may continue to move after a retracement. Fibonacci retracement levels are calculated by taking two extreme points (high and low) on a chart, and then dividing the vertical distance by the key Fibonacci ratios of 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8% and 100%. These levels are then used to predict where the price may retrace to after an impulsive move.

Fibonacci extension levels are calculated by taking the same two extreme points, and then projecting them out to the key Fibonacci ratios of 161.8%, 261.8% and 423.6%. These levels are then used to predict where the price may continue to move after a retracement. Traders often use these levels in conjunction with other technical analysis tools, such as trend lines or moving averages, to confirm potential entry or exit points for trades. It is also important to note that these levels are not a guarantee of future price movements, and traders should use them in conjunction with other technical and fundamental analysis tools to make more informed trading decisions.

Additionally, the use of Fibonacci levels is not limited to forex trading, they are also popularly used in other markets such as stocks, commodities and other financial markets.
