For example, 13/34 = 0.382. Fibonacci Retracement Levels are used as support and resistance levels: 0.236, 0.382, 0.500, 0.618, and 0.764. 0.382, 0.500 and 0.618 — are the most important to watch for. Fibonacci Extension Levels are used as targets for taking profit: 0.382, 0.500, 0.618, 1.000, 1.382, 1.500, and 1.618.
