What is Harmonic XABCD Pattern and How to Identify It Easily In the today's article, we will discuss the absolute basics of harmonic trading: I will explain to you what is harmonic ABCD pattern and how to recognize it, using fibonacci ratios. The foundation of harmonic trading is impulse leg. Impulse leg is a strong, directional bullish or bearish movement. Harmonic traders perceive a price chart like a combination of impulse legs. Here are the impulse legs on AUDUSD on a daily time frame. All these impulses are significant bullish or bearish movements. In harmonic pattern trading, the impulse leg will also be called the XA leg. XABCD pattern is based on 4 consequent price movements. XA leg will be a fundamental component of each harmonic XABCD pattern and the first price movement within the pattern. The direction of the XA leg will determine the bias of the pattern: Bullish XA will be a foundation of a bullish harmonic pattern, while, a bearish XA leg will be a foundation for a bearish harmonic pattern. Above, the examples of a bullish and bearish impulse legs. After identification of XA leg, a harmonic trader should analyse a consequent price action. AB leg will be the next movement after a completion of XA leg. BC leg will be the movement after a completion of AB leg. CD leg will be the movement after a completion of BC leg. CD leg will be a completion point of a harmonic pattern. In a bullish harmonic pattern, a bullish movement will be anticipated from D point. Above is a structure of a bearish harmonic XABCD pattern. There are a lot of different types of harmonic XABCD patterns: bullish/bearish Gartley, Bat, Cypher, etc... The type of the pattern will depend on the fibonacci ratios of B, C, D points of the pattern. B, C, D points should have very specific ratios to make a pattern harmonic. First, a harmonic trader should measure the fibonacci retracement level of B point in XA leg. In the example below, B point is lying between 618 and 786 retracements of XA leg. Then, if a C point is lying beyond the range of the XA impulse, one should measure its fibonacci extension level. If a C is lying within XA, its retracement level should be measured. Below, we can see that C point of the pattern is lying between 618 and 786 retracements of AB. Depending on the type of the pattern, a D point will either be based on a certain fibonacci retracement of XA leg or extension of AB leg. In our example, the criteria for a bullish harmonic Gartley pattern are met. The completion point of the pattern - D point will be based on 786 retracement of XA leg. From that retracement level, a bullish movement will be anticipated. Your task as a harmonic trader is to learn the specific rations of each harmonic pattern. With experience, you will learn to identify impulse legs and trade them profitable. ❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️ I am part of Trade Nation's Influencer program and receive a monthly fee for using their TradingView charts in my analysis.

Motorola Solutions, Inc. (MSI) – Long Setup Technical AnalysisMotorola Solutions, Inc. (MSI) – Long Setup Technical Analysis MSI is currently trading above the Anchored VWAP, where a bullish Gartley harmonic pattern has formed precisely at the main Anchored VWAP level. This alignment highlights a technically clean value-based reaction zone, with price respecting volume-weighted fair value. The Gartley structure suggests a controlled corrective move within an intact bullish framework, rather than distribution. The precise interaction with the Anchored VWAP reinforces the view that institutional participants are defending this level, maintaining constructive market structure. From a tactical perspective, this configuration favors a long continuation setup. As long as price maintains acceptance above the main Anchored VWAP, the probability favors a renewed upside rotation toward prior highs and upper value areas. Bias: Long on bullish reaction at the Anchored VWAP Target: Upside continuation toward prior highs Invalidation: Sustained acceptance below the Anchored VWAP Context: Bullish Gartley completion + Anchored VWAP support = high-quality long setup

The Gartley at play? EUR/USD making a move...I have been building short positions since end of June/early July based on my original trade idea (which is still open) ....However, I noticed a potential harmonic pattern on the weekly about 3 weeks ago and this strengthened my conviction to keep and add additional shorts when we consolidated around the 1.1800+ price zone. Although I am a chart pattern trader, I'm not a traditional harmonic trader but certain price action stands out to me and this looks like one playing out. If this does qualify as a Gartley in play, I noticed in past patterns that when the B - C leg is shallow, the price tends to exceed C and eventually A,...BUT when the B to C wave is lengthened, price tends to drop and stall half way of the pattern before continuing the ultimate trend (In this case Bullish). I'm still looking for my original target zone of 1.1200 - 1.1100 and if we do trade there, I will be looking for long positions as I believe the DXY (U.S. Dollar) is going to get hammered in early 2026. I'm not sure what the fundamental catalyst will be but looking at the long term charts, this seems like a strong possibility. This will set up a nice 1000+ pip trade for the EUR/USD Bulls. To avoid getting too ahead of myself, I'd be looking at the first hurdle right now which is 1.1500 and stay capped below 1.1750 - 1.1800.

NVIDIA (NVDA) – My PUT Options Position ExplainedI opened a medium-term bearish position on NVDA by purchasing PUT options. Here’s the full breakdown of the idea, entry logic, and projected targets. 🧠 Why I Entered the Trade NVDA formed a clear Head & Shoulders (H&S) reversal pattern on the 4H chart — one of the strongest technical reversal signals after an extended bullish trend. The neckline has now been broken, validating the structure and confirming bearish momentum. The rejection from the right shoulder, combined with weakening RSI and loss of key market structure, provides additional confirmation. 🎯 My PUT Options Position I purchased PUT contracts with a defined risk and leveraged downside exposure. Break-Even Price: ~129 USD This is the key level where: the option premium is fully recovered the position shifts from “loss” to “profit” As long as NVDA trades below 129 USD before expiration, the position begins generating profit. 💰 Profit Projection My profit target zone is around 102 USD. At that level, the trade yields approximately: ➡️ +77,000 USD profit This aligns with: the measured target of the Head & Shoulders pattern previous demand zone turning into resistance Fibonacci extensions a full correction of the last impulsive leg 📌 Technical Breakdown H&S target: ~160 → ~130 → projected extension toward 102 Break-even: 129 USD FXDoctor target: 102 USD Trend structure: Major lower lows forming Momentum: RSI breakdown and bearish continuation signals The chart clearly shows a potential shift from a hyper-parabolic bullish phase into a deeper correction — a move that benefits PUT buyers with asymmetric risk/reward. 🧨 Summary I’m holding PUT options on NVDA Break-even: 129 USD Projected profit: ~77,000 USD at 102 USD The trade is based on a clean and validated Head & Shoulders reversal NVDA is showing early signs of a much larger bearish correction

CCAP - good opportunity, normal risk CCAP - EGX30 - Timeframe 1 day Format a Gartley bullish pattern as follows: - Entry: 2.45 (current price: 2.39) - Stop loss: 2.35 (potential loss: 5%) - First target: 2.73 (potential profit: 10%) - Second target: 2.98 (potential profit: 20%) Important notes: 1. Activate the stop loss if it is triggered, as there are lower entry levels for this pattern (down to 1.75). 2. Prices may rebound from this point. This is not investment advice, only my analysis based on chart data. Consult your account manager before investing. Thanks and good luck.

USDCAD - A Somewhat Confusing Homerun Trading SetupsTop Trading Idea of the Week #2 is on USDCAD, and it’s a two-part bullish opportunity. It begins with a potential bullish Gartley pattern currently setting up—already a strong technical signal. But what makes this idea particularly compelling is the broader market context. On the higher timeframe, USDCAD has been stuck in a massive consolidation since 2015, and while it isn’t technically forming an ascending triangle, the path of least resistance still appears to be to the upside. Because of that, this may be a rare chance to aim for extended—or “home run”—targets. However, whenever I look to stretch targets, I always want to be aligned with the fundamentals as well. So in the video, we’ll walk through both the technical setup and the additional fundamental research required to build a confident, well-rounded bullish thesis. If you have an fundamental insights that you'd like to share I'd love to hear about it below. And as always please leave any questions, comments or ideas there as well. Akil

EURUSD - why am I bearish on the priceWell, thank you for commenting on my ideas on EURUSD. This is what makes the TradingView community unique. In one of the comments I learned that I am agains the mainstream believing that EURUSD is not going to continue growing (will not hit the next max after 1.19191 on Sep 15th). In this post I would like to provide arguments for which I am bearish in EURUSD, yet keeping in mind that those are just my humble opinions and as such they can be completely wrong. So, let's do that: Argument #0 - EURUSD in W1 in in Downtrend since June 2008 Argument #1 - Overbalance - total size of the corrections (marked light blue) are almost equal. Yet the recent correction perfectly is aligned with Garttley pattern (Argument 4). Argument #2 - The BC parts of the above mentioned corrections are equal too (marked navy blue) Argument #3 - the recent correction has performed a perfect ABC pattern Argument #4 - The above mentioned Gartley pattern (I wrote a post on that) has been completed Argument #5 - last but not least - the price returned exactly on Fibonacci Retracement 161.8 of the most recent correction to the up-movement starting on Sep 30th 2024. Those argument create a massive Resistance Cluster at 1.17500 - 1.19600. Altogether I have six argument to believe the local uptrend on EURUSD simply expired. But of course I may be absolutely wrong and EUR will go up from where it is now. Just my humble opinion

$103,000 Support is Your Next Long Entry!The chart shows a Bearish Harmonic Pattern (D point completed near $107,000), indicating the recent bullish momentum needs a rest. We anticipate a short-term pullback following the completion of this pattern. The target for this drop is the key support area (green box) around $103,000 - $103,500. OBV also shows Bearish Divergence (price up, indicator down), which strongly supports the idea of a temporary pullback. Wait for the price to hit the $103,000 support zone. Look to enter a LONG trade from the $103,000 - $103,500 area for the next major leg up. This is the main opportunity! Good Luck!

$CLSK: short term bullish Gartley NASDAQ:CLSK : bullish Gartley Harmonic has XD = 78.6%. NASDAQ:CLSK has exceeded this ratio slightly. Bullish Bat's XD ratio is 88.6%, this week's low aligns with this ratio. The bullish Gartley appears to have completed and prices should start to recover. If the broader market drops, AB = CD can target $13.50, which would present an excellent opportunity to add. I'll be adding to my position in the buy zone if the opportunity presents itself. Additionally, the buy zone aligns with the last triangle congestion area, which gives more confidence that this area has strong support. I added some today. If it goes down more tomorrow, I plan to add more.

Bullish Gartley 1. Entry Zone The ideal entry zone for a BUY order is the Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ) between 0.6485 and 0.6505. The current price of 0.64994 is perfectly within this zone, offering a potential entry. 2. Stop Loss To protect against the pattern failing, a stop loss should be placed just below the X point of the pattern. Stop Loss: Below 0.64433 (the X point). A logical level would be 0.6435. 3. Profit Targets (Take Profit Levels) Targets are based on Fibonacci retracements of the entire CD leg or the XA leg. TP1: 0.65500 (Previous resistance) TP2: 0.66000 (Key level, often a 0.618 retracement of AD) TP3: 0.66500 (Equal to the X point or a significant resistance level) Summary of the Corrected Trade Plan Component Level / Action Pattern Bullish Gartley Bias Buy Entry Zone 0.6485 - 0.6505 Stop Loss (SL) 0.6435 Take Profit 1 (TP1) 0.65500 Take Profit 2 (TP2) 0.66000 Take Profit 3 (TP3) 0.66500 if you think it's a good idea please 🚀 boost

Best Harmonic Patterns For Beginners in Forex Gold Trading In the today's article, I will share with you 4 best harmonic patterns for beginners. We will discuss the structure of each pattern and the rules. Harmonic ABCD Pattern That pattern is based on 3 legs of a price movement: AB leg - impulse leg, BC leg - retracement with the range of XA leg, CD leg - impulse leg that has the same direction, the same time horizon and the same length as the XA leg AB and BC legs should be equal or almost equal, that makes the pattern harmonic. The completion point of the pattern - D point can be applied for predicting a pullback. ABCD pattern can be bullish and bearish. In a bullish ABCD pattern, AB leg is bearish. D point of the pattern will be a safe point to buy from. In a bearish ABCD pattern, AB leg is bullish. D point will be a safe place to sell from. The next 3 patterns will be based on 4 legs of a move: XA, AB, BC, CD and will have XABCD structure with the initial point of the pattern being X point. D point will be a completion point of the pattern from where a pullback will be anticipated. The type of the harmonic pattern will be identified with Fibonacci numbers. The exact placement of each point of the pattern will define the name of the pattern. Harmonic Gartley Pattern In Harmonic Gartley, B point of the pattern should strictly be between 618 and 786 retracement of the XA leg. C point should lie between 618 and 786 retracement of AB leg. D point will be 1.272 extension of AB leg. Bullish Gartley Pattern will be based on a bullish XA leg. Bearish Gartley will be based on a bearish XA leg. Harmonic Bat Pattern In Harmonic Bat, B point of the pattern should strictly be between 50 and 618 retracement of the XA leg. C point should lie between 618 and 1 retracement of AB leg. D point will be 886 retracement of XA leg. Bullish Bat Pattern will be based on a bullish XA leg. Bearish Bat will be based on a bearish XA leg. Harmonic Cypher Pattern In Harmonic Cypher, B point of the pattern should strictly be between 382 and 618 retracement of the XA leg. C point should lie between 1.272 and 1.414 extension of XA leg. D point will be 786 retracement of XC leg. Bullish Cypher will be based on a bullish XA leg. Bearish Cypher will be based on a bearish XA leg. These patterns are phenomenally accurate and they are very simple to recognize. ❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️ I am part of Trade Nation's Influencer program and receive a monthly fee for using their TradingView charts in my analysis.
