Summary
The video dissects the EUR/JPY pair, highlighting two emerging harmonic structures—a bearish Gartley on the daily chart and a potential butterfly on a lower timeframe. The analyst walks through the Fibonacci measurements that differentiate a Gartley from a Bat pattern, noting the 61.8% retracement and a 127% extension as key targets.
On the daily chart, the swing high‑to‑low swing defines the X‑A leg, and the subsequent B‑leg retraces to the 61.8% zone, confirming a Gartley setup. The CD leg is projected to finish near the 127% extension, offering a clear bearish entry point. Shifting to a shorter chart, the price retraces past the 61.8% level to the 78.6% zone, forming a classic butterfly pattern that completes above the X‑leg.
The analyst remarks, “I’m not personally a fan of butterflies because they lack built‑in structural protection,” yet points out that in this case the B‑leg provides a “nice level of structure you can hide stops above.” This observation underscores the importance of structural clues left by prior price action.
For traders, the dual patterns suggest hidden downside moves in EUR/JPY, with the Gartley offering a more conventional risk‑managed entry and the butterfly presenting a higher‑reward, stop‑protected opportunity. Properly placed stops at the B‑leg level can mitigate risk while capitalizing on the anticipated bearish momentum.
