How to Trade Retracement on Downward Gold Trend
How Do I Draw Fibonacci Retracement for XAUUSD Downtrend?
The fibonacci retracement indicator is placed on a gold chart in an downward gold trending market and this Fibonacci Retracement indicator then calculates the retracement levels for the downward xauusd trend on the gold charts.

In the Gold Retracement Strategy example illustrated and explained below the xauusd market is heading downwards between chart point 1 and chart point 2, then after chart point 2 the xauusd price then retraces up to 38.2% retracement level then it continues moving downwards in original downwards trend. Note that this Fibonacci retracement indicator is drawn from point 1 to point 2 in the direction of the Gold trend (Downwards Direction).
Because we know this is just a retracement based on the gold chart gold trend we put a sell order at 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level and a stop loss just above 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level.
If you had put a sell order at the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level as shown on the gold trade below you would have made a lot of pips afterwards after the price reached the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level and then resumed the downward xauusd trend.
In this trade the retracement of xauusd price reached 38.2% Fibo retracement level and did not get to 50.00% Fibo retracement level. It is always good to use 38.20% Fibonacci retracement level because most times the xauusd price retracement does not always get to 50.00% Fibo retracement level.
