After identifying the crab pattern, a short position is taken at the low of the price at swing/pivot point D with stops at the high. The targets are 61.8% and 127.2% of the CD leg, which price manages to reach.
Note
Unlike other harmonic patterns, the crab pattern when formed can be very volatile. There are no fixed stop loss levels and therefore a bit of subjectivity is required. Traders usually wait for a high and a low to be formed before placing their stops at or above/below these reversal levels.
