Head and Shoulders Pattern Overview: The Head and Shoulders pattern is a popular reversal pattern used in technical analysis. It consists of three peaks:
Left Shoulder: A peak, followed by a decline. Head: A higher peak, followed by another decline. Right Shoulder: A peak that is lower than the head but similar to the left shoulder, followed by a decline. Once the pattern is complete, traders look for a break below the neckline for a bearish Head and Shoulders (signaling a downtrend), or a break above the neckline for an inverse Head and Shoulders (signaling a potential uptrend).
Buy Zone in the Inverse Head and Shoulders Pattern: For a bullish reversal (inverse Head and Shoulders pattern):
Identify the Neckline: The neckline connects the two lows that form between the three peaks. Breakout Confirmation: Wait for a breakout above the neckline. Once the price closes above the neckline, it signals the potential beginning of a bullish trend. Buy Zone: The buy zone is typically set right above the neckline or on a pullback to the neckline after the breakout. Target: The price target is usually the distance between the head and the neckline, projected upwards from the breakout point. Stop Loss: Set the stop loss just below the right shoulder or below the neckline, to protect against false breakouts. Bearish Head and Shoulders (Sell Zone): For a bearish reversal:
Neckline Identification: The neckline is drawn connecting the two lows that form between the shoulders. Breakout Confirmation: Wait for a break below the neckline, confirming the bearish breakout. Sell Zone: The sell zone is typically set right below the neckline or on a pullback to the neckline after the breakdown. Target: The price target is the distance between the head and the neckline, projected downward from the breakout. Stop Loss: Set the stop loss just above the right shoulder or the neckline to avoid getting caught in false breakouts.
