Fibonacci Retracement Setup Search & Fibonacci Retracement Setup Scanner

The Fibonacci Retracement Setup begins with a recent directional high or low, validates a nearby prior swing pivot as the opposite boundary, and matches the current price to the 0.618, 0.705, 0.786, or 0.886 retracement.

Detection Focus

  • Recent directional extreme as Fib 0
  • Timeframe-appropriate pullback: 2% daily, 1.5% 4H, or 1% 15M
  • 0.618, 0.705, 0.786, or 0.886 current-price match
  • Validated prior Fib 1 pivot

Quality Signals

  • Projected range versus ATR
  • Extreme recency
  • Pullback distance
  • Clearly defined Fib geometry

Invalidation

  • Price exceeds the recent Fib 0 extreme
  • Price breaches the validated Fib 1 pivot beyond its allowed tolerance
  • The range becomes structurally too small
