In this review we will get acquainted with the popular harmonic pattern<\/a> \"Bat\". We will learn how to find it on the price chart and what trading signals<\/a> it gives. We will consider the rules and examples of its formation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Description of the “Bat” pattern<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The harmonic Bat pattern is a 5-point graphical pattern formed by taking into account certain Fibonacci<\/a> ratios. It was introduced by Scott Carney in 2001. The figure has a similar structure to the Gartley's Butterfly<\/a>, but they differ in Fibonacci ratios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has five points (X, A, B, C<\/a> and D) and four price swings (XA, AB, BC and CD). The last point in the pattern is D, which is a potential reversal zone. Its appearance is seen as a signal to open buy or sell positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This chart pattern is formed on a variety of timeframes<\/a>. Often it represents a correction area, after the end of which the preceding trend is likely to continue. For more reliable signals, this pattern can be used in conjunction with classic means of technical analysis<\/a> - trend lines, support and resistance levels<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
