The Intraday Fibonacci Levels indicator allows traders to visualize Fibonacci retracement and extension levels derived from a specific intraday candle's price action. By selecting a target candle time, the tool automatically calculates and plots key levels to help identify potential support, resistance, and pivot points throughout the trading session.

Usage

This tool is primarily used by day traders to find institutional or high-impact price levels based on significant candles (such as news events or session opens).

To use the indicator:

  1. Select a specific candle time in the settings.
  2. The indicator will identify the high and low of that candle.
  3. Fibonacci retracements (.236, .618) and extensions (1.236, 1.618, 2.236, 2.618) are then projected across the chart.

These levels act as dynamic areas of interest. Traders often look for price reversals or breakouts when the current market price interacts with these plotted lines. For users wanting to analyze pre-market data, ensure "Extended Hours" is enabled on your TradingView chart settings.

Details

The script operates by capturing the high-low range of a user-defined timestamp. Once this range is established, it calculates two primary groups of Fibonacci ratios:

  • The .236 Group: Includes the 0.236 retracement and its corresponding extensions (1.236, 2.236) in both positive and negative directions.
  • The .618 Group: Includes the 0.618 retracement (Golden Ratio) and its extensions (1.618, 2.618).

The levels are drawn as horizontal lines that extend forward in time, providing a constant reference point as the trading day progresses. The script also includes built-in alert functionality that triggers when the price crosses any of the active displayed levels.
