Gartley pattern

Also known as: Gartley 222

A Gartley is a harmonic pattern made of five points (X-A-B-C-D) defined by specific Fibonacci ratios. It identifies a potential reversal zone at point D, where traders look to enter in the direction opposite the final leg.

How the gartley pattern forms

The pattern requires the B retracement near 61.8% of XA and point D near 78.6% of XA, with C between 38.2% and 88.6% of AB. Bullish and bearish versions mirror each other.

How traders use the gartley pattern

Traders enter at the D completion zone with a tight stop beyond X, targeting the prior swing points (often C and A). Precise ratio fits and confluence with support/resistance improve reliability.

FAQ

Gartley — common questions

What is a Gartley pattern?

It is a five-point harmonic reversal pattern (X-A-B-C-D) built on Fibonacci ratios, signalling a potential turn at point D. It can be bullish or bearish depending on orientation.

Are harmonic patterns like the Gartley reliable?

They can offer well-defined, low-risk entries when the Fibonacci ratios fit precisely and align with other support/resistance, but loose fits are unreliable. Treat the win-rate above as historical tendency, not a guarantee.
