What is Fibonacci Retracement?

Fibonacci retracement finds a price swing and calculates the level at a chosen ratio of that swing. Traders watch ratios such as 38.2%, 50% and 61.8% as possible support or resistance during pullbacks. The endpoint returns the level along with the swing it was measured from.

Fibonacci Retracement formula

Output	Calculation
Uptrend level	Swing high − (swing high − swing low) × retracement
Downtrend level	Swing low + (swing high − swing low) × retracement

How to read Fibonacci Retracement in your code

Signal	Meaning	Condition
Level	Price of the chosen retracement	`value`
Swing direction	Detected or forced trend	`trend`
Swing bounds	Where the measurement starts and ends	`startPrice` and `endPrice`

Limitations: Levels depend entirely on which swing is chosen, and the ratios have no proven causal basis. Treat them as zones. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
