Shark pattern
A five point harmonic (0, X, A, B, C) that completes at 0.886 to 1.13 of the 0 to B swing.
Why it matters
B breaks past X and C overshoots in an extreme thrust. The reaction tends to be sharp but short lived.
How to read it
Take profits quickly; the usual objective is half of the BC swing. Fails beyond 1.13 of 0B.
