The Head and Shoulders pattern is a widely recognized chart formation in technical analysis that signals a potential trend reversal1
. Here's a detailed description:
Formation
The pattern consists of three peaks:
Left Shoulder: The first peak, which is relatively high.
Head: The second peak, which is the highest among the three.
Right Shoulder: The third peak, which is lower than the head and similar to the left shoulder.
Interpretation
Bullish-to-Bearish Reversal: The classic Head and Shoulders pattern indicates a potential reversal from an upward trend to a downward trend2
.
Inverse Head and Shoulders: This pattern signals a potential reversal from a downward trend to an upward trend3
.
Key Levels
Neckline: The support level formed by the lows of the two valleys between the peaks. A break below this neckline confirms the pattern and signals a bearish reversal2
.
Volume: Increased volume during the formation of the head and the breakout below the neckline adds credibility to the pattern.
Trading Strategy
Entry: Enter a short position when the price breaks below the neckline with high volume.
Stop Loss: Place a stop loss above the neckline to limit potential losses if the pattern fails.
Target: Measure the distance from the head to the neckline and project it downward from the breakout point to estimate a price target.
