Gartley

Background

The Gartley is a five-point zig-zag pattern, usually labelled X-A-B-C-D, where each leg retraces the one before it by a specific Fibonacci ratio. When the legs line up with those ratios the final point is treated as a likely turning point, giving a precise place to buy a bullish Gartley or sell a bearish one.
