Structure of the Gartley Pattern
The Gartley formation consists of four main points, each contributing to the identification of the pattern and the forecast of price movements:
- Point X: The starting point of the price movement and the basis for all measurements.
- Point A: Marks the end of the initial movement (XA wave).
- Point B: A corrective move retracing approximately 61.8% of XA.
- Point C: Corrects the AB wave, typically between the 38% and 79% Fibonacci levels.
- Point D: Final point of the correction, generally between 113% and 162% of the BC wave.
Identifying the Gartley Pattern in an Uptrend
- Movement from X to A: Upward.
- Movement from A to B: Downward retracement.
- Movement from B to C: Upward correction.
- Movement from C to D: Downward leg completing the pattern.
The completed bullish Gartley resembles an "M" shape on the chart. After point D is reached, the price often rises, with the indicator generating a green arrow buy signal.

- Movement from X to A: Downward.
- Movement from A to B: Upward retracement.
- Movement from B to C: Downward correction.
