Fibonacci Arcs are half circles (by default) extended outward, the distance between the arcs are based on Fibonacci sequence for both date/time and price values. The arcs show where the price could pull back, or potentially bounce off and represent support and resistance levels.

Fibonacci Arcs are drawn by two extreme points that make up a trendline. To add Fibonacci Arcs to the chart, click its name or the iconfibonacci_rays_iconon the Drawings Panel. Specify an initial point on the chart (high/low) to start drawing a trendline, then specify the second point to place the arcs.

Note: To cancel drawing, press ESC
