Introduction to Fibonacci Extension Levels

Fibonacci retracement is drawn between 2 chart points but Fibonacci extension is drawn using 3 chart points.

To draw these Fibonacci Extension levels we wait until the stock indices price retracement is complete and the stock indices price starts to move in the original direction of the Indices trend. Where the retracement reaches is used as chart point 3 for Fibonacci extension.

The Fibonacci Extension example explained and illustrated below shows the 3 chart Points where the Fibonacci Extension indicator is drawn, marked as chart point 1, 2 and 3. Chart point 1 is where the indices trend started, Chart point 2 is where the indices trend pulled back and retraced and Chart point 3 is where the retracement reached as shown on the Fibonacci Extension example explained and illustrated below.
