Crab
HarmonicNeutralReversalReliability:
The most extended harmonic: D completes at the 1.618 projection of XA — the furthest reversal zone in the family.
Description
Described by Scott Carney as the most precise pattern. B retraces 0.382–0.618 of XA; D sits at 1.618 of XA with a large 2.618–3.618 BC extension.
Market psychology
A very deep overextension draws the crowd to chase; the 1.618 cluster is where that push tends to exhaust abruptly.
How to trade
The D zone is far away, giving a tight risk-to-reward frame; consider it only with strong confirmation and a stop beyond D.
Confirmation
D reaches 1.618 of XA with the BC extension cluster and a clear reversal trigger.
