Part 1: Identifying Harmonic Patterns

 

Πληροφορίες για το Μέρος 1:

 

Harmonic patterns are specific price patterns that follow Fibonacci ratios, used to identify potential reversal points in the market.

 

  • Common Harmonic Patterns:

    • Gartley Pattern: Identified by specific Fibonacci retracement and extension levels.
      • XA: Initial move.
      • AB: Retraces 61.8% of XA.
      • BC: Retraces 38.2% to 88.6% of AB.
      • CD: Extends to 78.6% of XA.

    • Bat Pattern: Similar to Gartley but with different Fibonacci levels.
      • XA: Initial move.
      • AB: Retraces 38.2% to 50% of XA.
      • BC: Retraces 38.2% to 88.6% of AB.
      • CD: Extends to 88.6% of XA.

    • Butterfly Pattern: Features a larger extension of the XA leg.
      • XA: Initial move.
      • AB: Retraces 78.6% of XA.
      • BC: Retraces 38.2% to 88.6% of AB.
      • CD: Extends to 127.2% to 161.8% of XA.
