Technical trading method based off the Fibonacci numbers in ratio form. A Fibonacci retracement is created by taking two extreme points on a price chart (generally a peak and a trough) and dividing the vertical distance by the Fibonacci ratios of 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, and 100%. After identifying these levels, horizontal lines are drawn to denote possible support and resistance levels.
