Retracements, inside the trend that explains them.

A loose Fibonacci is two points picked by hand. This one places them for you: a mid line with volatility bands sets the direction, and the levels spread inside the leg that structure defines.

Direction is set by the close

It only switches sides when a candle CLOSES outside the band. An intrabar spike does not count, and that is where half of the false flips come from.

Levels that reposition

From 0.236 to 0.786 inside the current leg. When the structure changes they move on their own: nothing to redraw.

Measured on higher timeframes

Across 136,000 NQ bars, 93 % of legs open the window on 15 minutes against 35 % on 2. It works better higher up, and we say so because we measured it.

The structure and its levels

The mid line with its bands and the retracements spread inside the leg, each in its colour.

The status chip

Direction, how many bars it has run, which retracement price sits in, how far the leg went and which level is closest.
