FIBONACCI CALCULATOR

Find Your Fibonacci Levels Instantly

Calculate retracement and extension levels for any price swing. Know exactly where price is likely to pause, reverse, or continue.

A Fibonacci calculator applies key ratios 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, and 78.6% to any price swing to identify where markets commonly retrace before continuing their trend or reverse entirely. These levels are used by traders across Forex, stocks, crypto, and indices to plan entries, exits, and stop-losses with precision.

How to Use the Fibonacci Calculator

This free Fibonacci calculator works for any market including forex, stocks, crypto, and indices. Follow these steps to get your retracement and extension levels in seconds.

1
Select your market. Choose Forex, Stocks, Crypto, or Indices. This sets the correct decimal precision automatically so your levels are accurate.
2
Enter your swing high and swing low. Look at your chart and identify the most recent significant peak and trough. Enter both prices into the calculator.
3
Choose the trend direction. Select Uptrend if price has been moving up, or Downtrend if price has been moving down. This tells the calculator whether your levels act as support or resistance.
4
Read your Fibonacci levels. The table shows every key level with the exact price, the distance from your swing point, and whether it acts as support, resistance, or a profit target.

Fibonacci Retracement vs Extension Levels

Fibonacci retracement and extension levels are both calculated from the same swing high and low, but they serve different purposes in a trade plan.

Retracement Levels

Retracement levels measure how far price has pulled back from a swing high or low. The key retracement levels are 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, and 78.6%. Traders use these levels to find potential entry points when price pulls back before continuing its trend.

Extension Levels

Extension levels project where price could move beyond the original swing high or low. The most commonly used extension levels are 127.2%, 161.8%, and 261.8%. Traders use these as profit targets after price breaks past the original swing point.

Which Fibonacci Levels Matter Most?

Not all Fibonacci levels carry equal weight. Here are the key retracement levels from 0% to 100% and what each one means for your trades:

0% (Starting Point). This is your swing high in an uptrend or swing low in a downtrend. It marks where the move began and serves as your reference point for all other levels.
23.6% (Shallow Pullback). A minor retracement that usually happens in strong, fast-moving trends. If price only pulls back to this level and bounces, it signals strong momentum in the original direction.
38.2% (Moderate Pullback). One of the most watched retracement levels. In healthy trends, price often pulls back to 38.2% before continuing. This is a common entry level for traders looking to join an existing trend.
50% (Halfway Point). While 50% is not a true Fibonacci number, it is one of the most widely used levels in trading. Price pulling back to the midpoint of a move is a natural area for support or resistance. Many institutional traders watch this level closely.
61.8% (The Golden Ratio). The single most important Fibonacci level. Derived from the golden ratio (1.618), this level is where the strongest price reactions typically happen. If price holds at 61.8%, the trend is likely to continue. If it breaks through, the trend may be weakening.
78.6% (Deep Retracement). A deep pullback that signals the trend is under pressure. Price reaching this level means the move has given back most of its gains. This is often the last line of defense before a full reversal to 100%.
100% (Full Retracement). Price has returned all the way to where the original move started. At this point, the entire swing has been erased. This can signal a trend reversal or a move into a new range.

Most traders focus on the 38.2%, 50%, and 61.8% levels for trade entries. The 61.8% golden ratio level tends to produce the strongest reactions across forex, stocks, crypto, and indices.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Fibonacci retracement?

A Fibonacci retracement is a technical analysis tool that uses horizontal lines to indicate potential support or resistance levels based on key Fibonacci ratios — 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, and 78.6%. These levels are drawn between a significant high and low to predict where price might pull back before continuing its trend.

What Fibonacci levels matter most in trading?

The most widely watched levels are 38.2%, 50%, and 61.8%. The 61.8% level known as the "golden ratio" is considered the most significant and often acts as the strongest area of support or resistance. The 50% level, while not a true Fibonacci number, is also heavily traded.

How do I use Fibonacci retracements to find trade entries?

Identify a clear swing high and swing low. Then look for price to pull back into a key Fibonacci level (typically 38.2%–61.8%) before resuming the trend. Combine Fibonacci levels with other signals, like candlestick patterns, volume, or trend indicators — for higher-probability setups.

What's the difference between Fibonacci retracement and extension?

Retracement levels help you find potential reversal zones within an existing move, ideal for planning entries. Extension levels project where price may go beyond the original high or low useful for setting profit targets.

Does Fibonacci work for all markets and timeframes?

Yes. Fibonacci levels are used by traders across forex, stocks, crypto, and futures, and work on any timeframe from 1-minute scalps to weekly swing trades. They're most reliable when multiple traders are watching the same level, which creates self-fulfilling support and resistance zones.

How is a Fibonacci calculator different from drawing levels manually on a chart?

A Fibonacci calculator removes human error and speeds up your analysis. Instead of manually dragging tools on a chart, you input your high and low and instantly see all key levels with their exact price values, perfect for pre-market planning or quick trade evaluation.

Can I use Fibonacci levels with TradeZella's trading journal?

Yes. After identifying your Fibonacci levels and executing a trade, log it directly in TradeZella to track how often your entries and targets hit their key levels. Over time, your journal data will show you which Fibonacci levels perform best for your specific strategy and market.
