The Crab Pattern relies heavily on Fibonacci projections to identify reversal zones:
- AB retracement of XA: typically between 38.2% to 61.8%
- BC retracement of AB: generally between 38.2% to 88.6%
- CD extension: can stretch up to 224% or 361.8% of BC
- XA projection: CD should extend to 161.8% of XA to confirm the Price Reversal Zone (PRZ) at point D
The D point becomes the focal entry zone for trade setups.
Uptrend Conditions
In the 1-minute AUD/CAD chart, the indicator identifies a bullish Crab pattern, automatically marking X, A, B, C, and D.
