Harnessing The Power of Fibonacci Extension: Crypto Trading Made Simple

Published by

Fibonacci is a very famous name in crypto trading. Fibonacci Retracemnt is a very famous tool used by professional crypto traders. The tool is known for its uniqueness, because it is built using a mysterious calculation discovered centuries ago. Do you know that this indicator is not the only tool that uses this calculation. Fibonacci Extension is also built using the same calculation, and follows the same principle of retracement as well. Let’s learn how this valuable tool can assist in crypto trading.

1. What is Fibonacci Extension

Fibonacci Extension is a valuable tool in crypto trading that helps traders predict potential price targets and reversal zones. It is based on Fibonacci Ratios, such as 61.8%, 100%, 161.8%, 200%, and 261.8%, represented as lines on a price chart. 

2. Fibonacci Extension: How It Works

The Fibonacci levels assist traders in estimating how far a price may move after a temporary pullback. For instance, if a cryptocurrency’s price drops, Fibonacci Extension can help identify where it might rise to the next. 

3. Steps To Launch Fibonacci Extension on a TradingView Chart

  • Sign in to TradingView
  • Open a chart for the cryptocurrency you are tracking
  • In the chart’s toolbar, select ‘Trend-Based Fib Extension’
  • Locate a significant price move (low to high or high to low) and mark it as your starting point
  • Extend the second point to the end of the move
  • Position the third point at the point of interest or potential reversal
  • Analyse the Fibonacci Extension lines for price targets and potential reversal levels.

4. How to Interpret Fibonacci Extension

Fibonacci Extension plays a pivotal role in crypto trading by offering valuable signals.

  • Price Targets

When a cryptocurrency’s price dips, Fibonacci Extension applies specific ratios (like 61.8%, 100%, etc.) to calculate where it might bounce back. For example, if a crypto’s value drops to the 61.8% level, it means it could potentially recover about 61.8% of its previous high. This provides traders with specific levels to aim for when setting buy or sell orders.

  • Reversal Zones

The indicator identifies these zones using Fibonacci Ratios. For instance, during an upward trend, it identifies points (like 161.8%) where the trend might stall, indicating a possible shift to a downtrend. Recognising these levels helps traders decide when it is a good time to buy or sell. 

5. Endnote

While Fibonacci Extension is a powerful tool and has many fans, it has its limitations like any indicator. It does provide insights into potential price targets and reversal zones, but it is not foolproof, and market conditions can change unexpectedly. So, better it is to use it as part of a broader trading strategy.
