GBPUSD, Short, AB=CD Gartley222, Extended pin bar at key level
We might play out this as a Gartley222. Not entering at the 78% retracement level,
but we have a great pin bar on the 2Hour chart at a very Key level. Close below the previous major low and a 1 to 1 AB-CD move.
Volume profile- the pin bar occurred on raising volume which for me indicates stops taken, but also it's what Wyckoff will call nonvalidation, huge volume, but the bar closed at its lowest. Nonvalidation is a good edge at turning points.
The red box is the 61% retracement of the AD leg of the Gartley. Some people use this as a target. I manage the trade differently but wanted to illustrate that even this target provides a good Rirk/Reward rate.
P.S. For the harmonic pattern junkies: the red dotted line might be interpreted in the 1-hour chart as a 3 drives pattern, entering at the level was going to be great. I was personally late for it.
