The Best Forex Patterns

Harmonic patterns and Elliott waves.

Elliott waves and harmonic patterns are two most important technical analyses in order to predict the currency and stocks’ market. Many traders are using these analyses to be more successful. Although, these technical analyses are separated and different from each other but in fact they cooperate very well in the market. For example, a Harmonic Gartley pattern, most of the times, forms in the second wave of an advanced wave which, in fact, is the correction of the first wave movement. This formation happens several times in charts and at the same time sends good signals to technical traders.The following chart is GPB/CHF currency pairs in 4h time frame which shows the above point perfectly. However, A harmonic pattern’s expert can easily determine and draw this pattern which consists of X,AB,C,D points. When the point D is forming, a movement in the fifth advanced wave is also forming (from D to E). This simultaneous formation duplicate the importance of Crab pattern. These 5 waves, which are in complete accord with the Eliot’s rules, are determined by the green color:

 

  1. The third advanced wave is not the smallest wave.
  2. The fourth wave has an acceptable overlap with the first wave.
  3. The corrective wave of number 2 has a good reversal. (The second wave cannot start correction until the first one starts)

 

Another important point is the clarity state of fifth wave which confirms and issues the end of main fifth wave.

 

5 to 5

In studying Eliot’s wave, when we want to open a position unlike the current trend, it is logical to get a confirmation from the fifth wave. This confirmation is the internal counting of fifth advanced wave. When a trader counts the fifth wave correctly and according to the Eliot’s rules, he will have a successful trade.In this chart, the internal counting, which is according to the above rules, is determined by the blue color. Finally, it shows that the completion of these five waves is finished with a smaller ratio in the main fifth wave.

Forex Analysis

The Best Forex Patterns

A buying opportunity in EURCAD currency pairs

 

 

The following chart is about EURCAD currency pairs in 1 hour time frame which according

 

to the technical analyses and their indicators we can expect a good buying opportunity.

 

This buying opportunity appears several times in this chart.

 

 

Harmonic pattern of AB=CD

 

The main technical pattern in this example is the harmonic pattern of AB=CD which has the ideal ratios of 127.2=78.6. This pattern is one of the strongest reversal patterns which mostly forms during the price corrections. Other important ratios of this pattern are 161.8=61.8 or 200=50 which they have golden ratios.

 

Candle stick patterns

 

In forming the D dot, the formation way of the candlestick patterns is very important. In this example, the formation way of the candles shows that a bottom price is formed and the falling of the prices is stopped. Among the formed candles, there is an inverted hammer candle stick pattern which shows the possibility of stopping of price falling as you can see in the picture.

 

Observing the fifth waves of Eliots’ waves pattern

 

Type of formed candlestick patterns with the important pattern of AB=CD is a very important warning about the rising of the price. At this time, another technical analysis, Eliots’ waves, reinforces this rising of the price. On the CD side of AB=CD pattern you see a movement of the fifth wave of Eliots’ wave which obeys all of the important rules of the Eliots’ waves and also issues the end the falling process. The combination of the Eliots’ waves and harmonic patterns provide a clear analysis of the market for the traders.

A good selling opportunity in the CAD/JPY currency pairs

 

The following example is the analysis of CAD/JPY in daily time frame. By using this analysis, a trader can understand about the possibility of the price falling in the next days or weeks and also use this knowledge in his trading. In the chart, we specified 4 important technical reasons for starting of the price falling on 31st of October.

 

  1. Formation of the third point of descending trend’s line
  2. Formation of long shadows in candles in the third point of descending trend’s line
  3. The ideal pattern of AB=CD
  4. Third point standing in the Fibonacci’s corrective levels

 

Formation of the third point of descending trend’s line

 

The price range on 31st of Oct is under the influence of descending trend’s line which consists of two price peaks number 1 and 2. The role of this line is preventingmore ascending in the price. When the price reaches this line, the first warning of ending of the ascending process will be issued.

 

 

Formation of long shadows in candles in the third point of descending trend’s line

 

As it is indicated in the picture (green area), when the price reaches the descending trend’s line, we see the formation of long shadows in the candles. This formation shows the importance of this line and also it shows that buyers should be careful about their trading. So, a professional trader prefers to make cash his buying trades and leaves the stage. More addition, the long shadows indicate the exit of the buyers and therefor the sellers become stronger more.

 

 

The ideal pattern of AB=CD

 

As the third point of the descending trend’s line is formed, the harmonic pattern of AB=CD with the ideal ratios of 50 to 200 will form too. Accompaniment of this pattern and descending trend line is a clear warning of more descending of the price for the sellers.

 

 

Third point standing in the Fibonacci’s corrective levels

 

The third point of descending trend’s line is located in the range of corrective ratios of Fibonacci with the percentages of 50 and 38.2. These ratios are drawn from price peaks, 1and 2, and will influence the third point.

    • Date: 7th April 2025.   Asian Markets Plunge as US-China Trade War Escalates; Wall Street Futures Signal Further Turmoil.   Global financial markets extended last week’s massive sell-off as tensions between the US and its major trading partners deepened, rattling investors and prompting sharp declines across equities, commodities, and currencies. The fallout from President Trump’s sweeping new tariff measures continued to spread, raising fears of a full-blown trade war and economic recession.   Asian stock markets plunged on Monday, extending a global market rout fueled by rising tensions between the US and China. The latest wave of aggressive tariffs and retaliatory measures has unnerved investors worldwide, triggering sharp sell-offs across the Asia-Pacific region.   Asian equities led the global rout on Monday, with dramatic losses seen across the region. Japan’s Nikkei 225 index tumbled more than 8% shortly after the open, while the broader Topix fell over 6.5%, recovering only slightly from steeper losses. In mainland China, the Shanghai Composite sank 6.7%, and the blue-chip CSI300 dropped 7.5% as markets reopened following a public holiday. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index opened more than 9% lower, reflecting deep concerns about escalating trade tensions.           South Korea’s Kospi dropped 4.8%, triggering a circuit breaker designed to curb panic selling. Taiwan’s Taiex index collapsed by nearly 10%, with major tech exporters like TSMC and Foxconn hitting circuit breaker limits after each fell close to 10%. Meanwhile, Australia’s ASX 200 shed as much as 6.3%, and New Zealand’s NZX 50 lost over 3.5%.   Despite the escalation, Beijing has adopted a measured tone. Chinese officials urged investors not to panic and assured markets that the country has the tools to mitigate economic shocks. At the same time, they left the door open for renewed trade talks, though no specific timeline has been set.   US Stock Futures Plunge Ahead of Monday Open   US stock futures pointed to another brutal day on Wall Street. Futures tied to the S&P 500 dropped over 3%, Nasdaq futures sank 4%, and Dow Jones futures lost 2.5%—equivalent to nearly 1,000 points. The Nasdaq Composite officially entered a bear market on Friday, down more than 20% from its recent highs, while the S&P 500 is nearing bear territory. The Dow closed last week in correction. Oil prices followed suit, with WTI crude dropping over 4% to $59.49 per barrel—its lowest since April 2021.   Wall Street closed last week in disarray, erasing more than $5 trillion in value amid fears of an all-out trade war. The Nasdaq Composite officially entered a bear market on Friday, sinking more than 20% from its recent peak. The S&P 500 is approaching bear territory, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average has slipped firmly into correction territory.   German Banks Hit Hard Amid Escalating Trade Tensions   German banking stocks were among the worst hit in Europe. Shares of Commerzbank and Deutsche Bank plunged between 9.5% and 10.3% during early Frankfurt trading, compounding Friday’s steep losses. Fears over a global trade war and looming recession are severely impacting the financial sector, particularly export-driven economies like Germany.   Eurozone Growth at Risk   Eurozone officials are bracing for economic fallout, with Greek central bank governor Yannis Stournaras warning that Trump’s tariff policy could reduce eurozone GDP by up to 1%. The EU is preparing retaliatory tariffs on $28 billion worth of American goods—ranging from steel and aluminium to consumer products like dental floss and luxury jewellery.   Starting Wednesday, the US is expected to impose 25% tariffs on key EU exports, with Brussels ready to respond with its own 20% levies on nearly all remaining American imports.   UK Faces £22 Billion Economic Blow   In the UK, fresh research from KPMG revealed that the British economy could shrink by £21.6 billion by 2027 due to US-imposed tariffs. The analysis points to a 0.8% dip in economic output over the next two years, undermining Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ growth agenda. The report also warned of additional fiscal pressure that may lead to future tax increases and public spending cuts.   Wall Street Braces for Recession   Goldman Sachs revised its US recession probability to 45% within the next year, citing tighter financial conditions and rising policy uncertainty. This marks a sharp jump from the 35% risk estimated just last month—and more than double January’s 20% projection. J.P. Morgan issued a bleaker outlook, now forecasting a 60% chance of recession both in the US and globally.   Global Leaders Respond as Trade Tensions Deepen   The dramatic market sell-off was triggered by China’s sweeping retaliation to a new round of US tariffs, which included a 34% levy on all American imports. Beijing’s state-run People’s Daily released a defiant statement, asserting that China has the tools and resilience to withstand economic pressure from Washington. ‘We’ve built up experience after years of trade conflict and are prepared with a full arsenal of countermeasures,’ it stated.   Around the world, policymakers are responding to the growing threat of a trade-led economic slowdown. Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba announced plans to appeal directly to Washington and push for tariff relief, following the US administration’s decision to impose a blanket 24% tariff on Japanese imports. He aims to visit the US soon to present Japan’s case as a fair trade partner.   In Taiwan, President Lai Ching-te said his administration would work closely with Washington to remove trade barriers and increase purchases of American goods in an effort to reduce the bilateral trade deficit. The island's defence ministry has also submitted a new list of US military procurements to highlight its strategic partnership.   Economists and strategists are warning of deeper economic consequences. Ronald Temple, chief market strategist at Lazard, said the scale and speed of these tariffs could result in far more severe damage than previously anticipated. ‘This isn’t just a bilateral conflict anymore — more countries are likely to respond in the coming weeks,’ he noted.   Analysts at Barclays cautioned that smaller Asian economies, such as Singapore and South Korea, may face challenges in negotiating with Washington and are already adjusting their economic growth forecasts downward in response to the unfolding trade crisis.           Oil Prices Sink on Demand Concerns   Crude oil continued its sharp slide on Monday, driven by recession fears and weakened global demand. Brent fell 3.9% to $63.04 a barrel, while WTI plunged over 4% to $59.49—both benchmarks marking weekly losses exceeding 10%. Analysts say inflationary pressures and slowing economic activity may drag demand down, even though energy imports were excluded from the latest round of tariffs.   Vandana Hari of Vanda Insights noted, ‘The market is struggling to find a bottom. Until there’s a clear signal from Trump that calms recession fears, crude prices will remain under pressure.’   OPEC+ Adds Further Pressure with Output Hike   Bearish sentiment intensified after OPEC+ announced it would boost production by 411,000 barrels per day in May, far surpassing the expected 135,000 bpd. The alliance called on overproducing nations to submit compensation plans by April 15. Analysts fear this surprise move could undo years of supply discipline and weigh further on already fragile oil markets.   Global political risks also flared over the weekend. Iran rejected US proposals for direct nuclear negotiations and warned of potential military action. Meanwhile, Russia claimed fresh territorial gains in Ukraine’s Sumy region and ramped up attacks on surrounding areas—further darkening the outlook for markets.   Always trade with strict risk management.
