Head-shoulders

Bitcoin - Head & Hhoulder Pattern in the process of palying outBitcoin is in a small H&S formation. The RHS has completed with the LHS in the process of playing out , in my oponion. If this is the case , the next support , resistence and support should mirror the RHS of the H&S ( give or take a couple of hundred) With the end of the quarter happening 28th of Feb, we have seen traders taking their quarterly profits. Buy in at the start of the quarter/year(2020) has yield a handsome return of 2x from approx €3.5K to €7.8K ( doubling on investment) With Q2 commencing on the 2nd March , the said traders have the opportunity to BUY back in knowing we have already reached €9700 in Q1. If the H&S plays out , we could be looking at the completion of the shoulder in the first 2 weeks into March 2020. In my oponion, the price action remaining for the H&S completion is as shown here in this illustration, with key prices numbered 1,2,3 &4 . Lets hope it pays out this way and that the market does not capitulate at the €7400 mark This is my oponion and not financial advice. It is my contribution to what I see happening on the chart for bitcoin as it is playing out.

How to Properly Sell the Head & Shoulder Pattern for Bank! A head and shoulders pattern is a chart formation that resembles a baseline with three peaks, the outside two are close in height and the middle is highest. In technical analysis, a head and shoulders pattern describes a specific chart formation that predicts a bullish-to-bearish trend reversal. The head and shoulders pattern is believed to be one of the most reliable trend reversal patterns. It is one of several top patterns that signal, with varying degrees of accuracy, that an upward trend is nearing its end. A head and shoulders pattern is a chart formation that resembles a baseline with three peaks, the outside two are close in height and the middle is highest. A head and shoulders pattern describes a specific chart formation that predicts a bullish-to-bearish trend reversal. The head and shoulders pattern is believed to be one of the most reliable trend reversal patterns. Like all charting patterns, the ups and downs of the head and shoulders pattern tell a very specific story about the battle being waged between bulls and bears.The initial peak and subsequent decline represent the waning momentum of the prior bullish trend. Wanting to sustain the upward movement as long as possible, bulls rally to push the price back up past the initial peak to reach a new high (the head). At this point, it is still possible that bulls could reinstate their market dominance and continue the upward trend.However, once price declines a second time and reaches a point below the initial peak, it is clear that bears are gaining ground. Bulls try one more time to push price upward but succeed only in hitting the lesser high reached in the initial peak. This failure to surpass the highest high signals the bulls' defeat and bears take over, driving the price downward and completing the reversal.

Potential 4hr chart falling wedge confluence w/ h&s drop targetThe current price action is starting to form a potential falling wedge on the 4hr chart...interestingly enough the apex of that potential falling wedge is at the exact same point as the drop target from the 4 hour chart head and shoulders pattern we recently broke down from. I find that confluence very interesting and something that gives more credence to this four hour wedge being legitimate. However with such a big support line as the weekly 200ma just below I'm not gonna be trying to do any limit sells or even shorts here because that support could easily bust us up out of this pattern logn before it reaches the wedge apex/h&s drop target. For this reason this idea will be left neutral.

XRP Triggers 1hr IH&S pattern breaks up out of Falling WedgeAs expected XRP has busted upward form its inverted head and shoulder pattern on the 1 hour chart. The breakout target of that should have been right at the top trendline of the 4hr chart falling wedge but the price action has exploded well above that and seems like it will very likely trigger the falling wedge breakout as well. So now the price target we are looking for next is 39 cents. We are quite overextended on the stochrsi though so we may consolidate sideways in a bull flag first before continuing upward to the 39 cent target. The current 4hr volume candle is absolutely massive which is a great sign for the bulls. Expect exciting fundamental developments from xrp in the coming days/weeks.

Smells like a fakeout…Looks like a fakeout…Is that the fakeout?Here on the XRPUSD 1day chart we have a pattern of a massive head and shoulders on xrp formed conveniently during a downward trend with a breakdown target of negative 20 cents. The Stoch RSI also bottomed out and is ready to travel upward again so there's not enough bearish momentum available to warrant such a breakdown. The downtrend makes it very unlikely a good head and shoulders because the h&s chart patterns that get validated are usually ones that act as reversal patterns at the top of trends not continuation patterns.Sure there are rare exceptions of when a continuation h&s happens but in reality those are just failed patterns that didnt trigger in my eyes. Still with it looking so obviously like a fakeout it makes one wonder if the whales are trying to fake us out with a fake fakeout...thats the only way I see something like this triggering. On the bitfinex chart this pattern is invalid but It appears to be valid for now on bitstamp,coinbase,and kraken. Its for this fake fakeout fakeout reason that I leave this idea neutral....but with a breakdown target of negative 20 cents, it seems like a ridiculous notion to believe it ever could be anything other than a fakeout.
