In this review we will get acquainted with the harmonic Crab pattern. We will consider the stages of its formation on the price chart, and the strategy for its use in trading. We will compare it with the Deep Sea Crab pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/a>What is the Crab pattern?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This harmonic pattern<\/a> was introduced to the trading community by Scott Carney in 2000. Its structure is very similar to many popular harmonic patterns<\/a>, including the famous \"Gartley’s Butterfly\"<\/a>. The difference is in the different Fibonacci<\/a> ratios: in the hero of our material, the final segment has a longer extension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The harmonic Crab pattern consists of five points (X, A, B, C<\/a> and D) and four price swings (XA, AB, BC and CD). The last one is formed by the point D, which is a potential reversal area. Its appearance is considered as a signal to open the positions for buying or selling. The appearance of the pattern on the chart signals<\/a> the end of the current price impulse and the forthcoming reversal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
