USDSEK potential bear bat harmonic pattern & Elliott Wave Count
The 1H chart may be demonstrating a potential bear bat harmonic pattern. The Elliot Wave count for the last bull AD leg of the harmonic pattern is reasonably distinct. This evenings opening gap is in the direction of completing an Elliott blue wave 3 as the RSI touches over bought. T1 is a 38.2% retrace of CD and is close to the extreme of the Elliott black wave iv.

CADCHF gartley harmonic pattern set ups
Keeping an eye on CADCHF as it throws up some nice 61.8% fibonacci retracements on various levels. The fractal nature of markets described in Elliott Wave Theory equally applies to the harmonic pattern. It is common to have patterns within patterns, but while some nice harmonic pattern trade entries can be discerned and traded on the smaller degree or time frame, it must be remembered that the larger degree or larger pattern often takes precedence and dominates price action.
The following 4H chart shows CADCHF as recently overbought on it's RSI, this suggests at least a correction to the downside soon, which may take price down to complete the partially pink bull gartley harmonic pattern. An alternative shown on the 1H chart may be the playing out of an even smaller harmonic pattern between 9285 and 9117. The most attractive potential harmonic pattern would be the blue bear gartley pattern shown on the 4H chart, ideally getting over bought and/or diverging into the 88.6% retrace of XA.
The point is that technical analysis, including harmonic pattern analysis, can be conducted at any level, degree or time frame.
