Grade the bullish Gartley after it confirms at D, before you trade the continuation.
Upload a chart where a bullish Gartley has completed at D with a reversal candle confirming, and a new uptrend has started, and get a read on whether the reversal held, whether higher highs and higher lows are printing, the volume, and a full trade plan, so a confirmed continuation off a completed Gartley and an unconfirmed approach into the D zone do not get judged the same way.

Quick answer
What is a bullish Gartley pattern, and can AI grade it?
The bullish Gartley is a five-point harmonic reversal pattern first described by H.M. Gartley in 1935 and refined into precise Fibonacci ratios by Larry Pesavento and Scott Carney. It is drawn across five labeled points, X, A, B, C, and D: an initial decline from X to A, a corrective rally from A to B that typically retraces about 61.8% of the XA leg, a pullback from B to C that retraces 38.2% to 88.6% of AB, and a final leg down from C to D that extends 127.2% to 161.8% of BC while D itself lands near a 78.6% retracement of the original XA leg. That convergence of ratios at D defines the pattern's completion zone, often called the potential reversal zone, where the decline from X is expected to end and a new advance to begin. SnapPChart is tuned for momentum continuations, not reversals, so it does not call the low at D or grade a long the moment price taps the completion zone. A chart that is still extending down toward D, or has just tapped D with no reversal candle yet, is an unconfirmed pattern, and the engine reads that as a decline that has not turned, not a long to take. What it grades is the confirmed continuation after the bullish Gartley resolves: once a reversal candle closes at or above D and an uptrend prints, with higher highs and higher lows, the first pullback within that new uptrend is the momentum-continuation long it grades. From the chart you upload, it reads the X, A, B, C, and D points you marked, the Fibonacci ratio labels at each leg, the reversal candle, whether a new uptrend has started, and the volume, then returns a setup grade, an entry on the pullback in the new uptrend, a structural stop below the low of D, multi-target exits, and the bear case. Because the pattern lives or dies on precise Fibonacci math across five points, and the AI reads a static screenshot rather than raw price data, you draw the XABCD structure and label the retracement and extension percentages using your charting platform's Fibonacci tool before you screenshot; the AI does not calculate the ratios itself, auto-detect the swing points, scan a feed for Gartleys, or call the reversal at D. It reads the pattern you marked on your screenshot, not a live feed. You mark the pattern and the ratios, screenshot the chart, and upload it, and the same checklist runs every time so a confirmed continuation off a completed Gartley and a decline still extending toward D get judged the same way.

Risk Notes First
The analysis flags extension, messy chop, weak retests, thin reward, and conflicting indicators.
Workflow
Use it as a quality check on the confirmed continuation
Plenty of bullish Gartley setups fail when the reversal candle at D never confirms, price keeps declining through the 78.6% retracement, or no new uptrend has started. SnapPChart gives you a consistent read on whether this bullish Gartley has confirmed into a tradeable continuation before you take the pullback in the new uptrend.
- Draw the X, A, B, C, and D points and label the Fibonacci retracement and extension ratios at each leg, then screenshot the chart with the structure visible
- Confirm a reversal candle has formed at or above D, not a chart still extending down toward the completion zone
- Check whether a new uptrend has started off D, with higher highs and higher lows
- Read whether the move away from D came on rising volume or thin volume
- Grade the first pullback within that new uptrend, not the unconfirmed approach into the D completion zone
- Skip the trade when the grade flags an unconfirmed pattern with no reversal candle at D
Head to head
SnapPChart vs a general AI chat assistant for bullish Gartley setups
A general AI tool can tell you a chart looks like a Gartley pattern, but it will not check whether the XABCD ratios actually converge near the completion zone, whether a reversal candle confirmed at D, or whether a new uptrend has actually started, to the same standard twice. SnapPChart reads the X, A, B, C, and D points and the labeled Fibonacci ratios you marked, the reversal candle, and whether higher highs and higher lows have printed the same way on every screenshot you upload, and it grades the continuation after the pattern resolves, not the reversal at D.
| Feature | SnapPChart | General AI chat assistant |
|---|---|---|
| Grades the XABCD structure and ratios you marked on the screenshot | Yes, every upload | Inconsistent |
| Reads whether a reversal candle confirmed at D and a new uptrend started | From the image | Varies by prompt |
| Grades the first pullback in the new uptrend, not the unconfirmed approach to D | Every grade | Rarely |
| Refuses to buy the completion zone or call the reversal at D | By design | Often guesses the reversal |
| Flags a weak setup: no reversal candle, ratios don't converge, still extending toward D | Every bear case | Rarely flagged |
| Entry, stop, targets off the confirmed continuation | Yes | Prompting required |
| Same criteria on every bullish Gartley | Fixed methodology | Varies by session |

Bullish Gartley AI FAQ
How SnapPChart grades a bullish Gartley from your screenshot.
Does the AI call the reversal at point D?
No. It is tuned for momentum continuation, not reversals, so it does not call the low at D or grade a long the moment price taps the completion zone. It grades the setup highest after a reversal candle confirms at D and a new uptrend is established, with higher highs and higher lows, then the first pullback in that new uptrend, not the pattern's completion itself. While price is still extending down toward D or has just tapped it with no reversal candle, the engine reads a decline that has not turned, and that is not a long for it.
How does the AI grade a bullish Gartley?
It reads the X, A, B, C, and D points you marked, the Fibonacci ratio labels at each leg, the reversal candle at D, whether a new uptrend has started with higher highs and higher lows, and the volume. It grades the confirmed continuation, the first pullback in the new uptrend after D turns, then returns a setup grade, an entry on that pullback, a structural stop below the low of D, and targets. A bullish Gartley that completes cleanly near the 78.6% retracement of XA, confirms with a strong reversal candle, and prints a clean new uptrend on rising volume grades higher than a chart still extending toward D with no reversal yet.
Does the AI calculate the Fibonacci ratios or auto-detect the XABCD points?
No. It does not scan a feed for harmonic patterns, calculate the retracement or extension ratios itself, auto-detect the X, A, B, C, and D swing points, plot the pattern for you, or call the reversal at D. You identify the five points and draw them with your charting platform's Fibonacci retracement and extension tools, so the ratio percentages are labeled on the chart, then screenshot and upload that image, and the AI grades the structure it can see: the points, the labeled ratios, whether a reversal candle formed at D, whether a new uptrend has started, and the volume. The grade reflects the picture you give it, not an independent Fibonacci calculation.
Can it tell a confirmed bullish Gartley from an unconfirmed one?
It flags the risk in the bear case. If the chart shows price still extending down toward D, no reversal candle yet, no higher highs forming, or a reversal on thin volume, the grade drops and the trade plan calls out that the pattern has not confirmed into a continuation. A clean reversal candle at D with a new uptrend printing and rising volume grades better.
Does it grade the bearish Gartley too?
Yes, as the bearish mirror. The bearish Gartley completes at a D high instead of a low, with the same XABCD ratio structure inverted, and is expected to reverse into a decline. As with the bullish version, the engine does not call the top at D or short the completion zone; it grades the short continuation after a reversal candle confirms at D and a new downtrend prints, with lower highs and lower lows, the same confirmation-only rule applied in both directions.
What should be on the chart before I screenshot it?
Mark the X, A, B, C, and D points and label the Fibonacci retracement and extension percentages at each leg using your charting platform's tools, along with the candles, timeframe, price scale, and volume. The reversal candle at D and the start of the new uptrend need to be visible, since the grade is about whether the bullish Gartley has confirmed into a continuation. If only the XABCD points are marked with no reversal candle yet, the AI has nothing to grade as a continuation.
Is there a free trial for bullish Gartley grading?
Yes. New users get two lifetime chart analyses. The first shows the full output so you can see exactly what the bullish Gartley grade returns; the second is gated to show what the paid product adds. No credit card required.
