The movement of currency pair is same as the movement of waves that is moving to and fro. It is possible for any currency to move to some point and retrace back. Moving to some point is extension and retracing back is retracement. This is the reason why Fibonacci sequence is made up of extension and retracement. The lowest and highest levels of a Fibonacci sequence are 0% and 100% and 38.2%, 50% and 61.8% are the most important retracement levels in a Fibonacci sequence. These are support and resistance levels.
The measure is noted from low to high swing to get possible support and the measure is noted from high to a low swing to get possible resistance. To correctly mark the support and resistance levels, measure the length of swing and allow the Forex Trading program to divide it in the ratios of figures such as .382, .50 and .618. Possible support level or resistance level is seen when the market moves to these ratios.
How to construct Fibonacci retracement
To draw Fibonacci retracements, draw a trend line between the two extreme points such as a trough and a peak. The retracement tool present in your metatrader software then automatically inserts three horizontal lines. These lines intersect the trend line in the chart at the Fibonacci ratios of 38.2%, 50% and 61.8%. After an expressive movement of price either upside or downside, prices will frequently retrace an important portion of the original movement. With the retracing of price, support level and resistance level will also occur at or close to the Fibonacci retracement levels.
