Fibonacci Retracement
Calculates the Fibonacci Retracement based on the set of candles defined by the period
. It will use the highest-high and lowest-low with the data-set for the calculation. Period can have a maximum of 300 candles.
There are 3 ways of setting the trend:
AUTO
(Default): This will assume the trend based on the first and last candle of the data set. If the first candle is higher than the last, it assumes a downtrend, and vise-versa.- Using
smart
, the indicator will evaluate the highest high and lowest low within the given period. If the lowest low comes before the highest high (in time), the trend is assumed to be an uptrend, and vise-versa. - Finally this parameter can be set manually to either
uptrend
ordowntrend
(case-insensitive)
Get started with the fibonacciretracement
Simply make an HTTPS [GET] request or call in your browser:
[GET] https://api.taapi.io/fibonacciretracement?secret=MY_SECRET&exchange=binance&symbol=BTC/USDT&interval=1h
The fibonacciretracement
endpoint returns a JSON response like this:
{
"value": 37150.96,
"trend": "DOWNTREND",
"startPrice": 40100,
"endPrice": 32380,
"startTimestamp": 1610636400,

API parameters
binance
, binancefutures
or one of our supported exchanges. For other crypto / stock exchanges, please refer to our Client or Manual integration methods.
BTC/USDT
Bitcoin to Tether, or LTC/BTC
Litecoin to Bitcoin...
1m
, 5m
, 15m
, 30m
, 1h
, 2h
, 4h
, 12h
, 1d
, 1w
. So if you're interested in values on hourly candles, use interval=1h
, for daily values use interval=1d
, etc.
backtrack
parameter removes candles from the data set and calculates the fibonacciretracement value X amount of candles back. So, if you’re fetching the fibonacciretracement on the hourly and you want to know what the fibonacciretracement was 5 hours ago, set backtrack=5
. The default is 0
and a maximum is 50
.
backtracks
parameter returns the fibonacciretracement value calculated on every candle for the past X candles. For example, if you want to know what the fibonacciretracement was every hour for the past 12 hours, you use backtracks=12
. As a result, you will get 12 values back.
chart
parameter accepts one of two values: candles
or heikinashi
. candles
is the default, but if you set this to heikinashi
, the indicator values will be calculated using Heikin Ashi candles. Note: Pro & Expert Plans only.
true
or false
. Defaults to false
. By setting to true
the API will return a timestamp with every result (real-time and backtracked) to which candle the value corresponds. This is helpful when requesting multiple backtracks.
Default: 50
Default: 0.618
Default: auto
More examples
Let's say you want to know the fibonacciretracement
value on the last closed candle on the 30m
timeframe. You are not interest in the real-time value, so you use the backtrack=1
optional parameter to go back 1 candle in history to the last closed candle.
[GET] https://api.taapi.io/fibonacciretracement?secret=MY_SECRET&exchange=binance&symbol=BTC/USDT&interval=30m&backtrack=1
Get fibonacciretracement values on each of the past X candles in one call
Let's say you want to know what the fibonacciretracement
daily value was each day for the previous 10 days. You can get this returned by our API easily and efficiently in one call using the backtracks=10
parameter:
[GET] https://api.taapi.io/fibonacciretracement?secret=MY_SECRET&exchange=binance&symbol=BTC/USDT&interval=1d&backtracks=10
