Most traders spend their entire careers obsessing over entries.
Few spend the same energy on exits.
That’s a costly mistake.
Because without a framework for taking profits, you’ll:
Sell too early and leave money on the table
Hold too long and watch profits evaporate
Or worse, turn winning trades into losing ones
This is where Fibonacci Extensions come in.

What Are Extensions?
If retracements tell us where price may pull back, extensions project where price is likely headed next.
They’re the roadmap beyond prior highs and lows… profit zones that traders, institutions, and algorithms alike respect.
The most common and powerful extension levels:
127.2% → Shallow, often hit quickly
161.8% → The “golden extension,” high-probability target
200% & 261.8% → Stretch zones, common in strong or parabolic moves
