On the three hours time frame, the price chart of BTCUSD has formed a pattern called the bullish gartley pattern.
The pattern resembles an M/W shape on the chart, depending on whether it is a bullish or a bearish Gartley. As such, the pattern consists of five points on the chart. These points are marked with X, A, B, C, and D. This is how a Gartley harmonic pattern appears as shown on the chart.
Since the pattern is a member of the Harmonic family, each swing should conform to specific Fibonacci levels. We will now go through each component of the Gartley structure:
XA: The XA move could be any price activity on the chart. There are no specific requirements in relation to the XA price move of the Gartley chart formation.
AB: The AB move should be approximately 61.8% of the XA size. So, if the XA move is bullish, then the AB move should reverse the price action and should reach the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of XA.
BC: The BC move should then reverse the AB move. At the same time, the BC move should finish either on the 38.2% Fibonacci level, or on the 88.6% Fibonacci level of the prior AB leg.
CD: The CD should be a reversal of the BC move. Then if BC is 38.2% of AB, then CD should respond to the 127.2% extension of BC. If BC is 88.6% of AB, then CD should be the 161.8% extension of BC.
AD: Then there is the last rule for the Gartley pattern. When the CD move is complete, you should measure the AD move. A valid Gartley on the chart will show an AD move, which takes a 78.6% retracement of the XA move. Target for the down move should be around 10989usd and a move back up should be back to first first target at $11472.7 up to $11679.8.
