Head and Shoulders

Inverse Head & Shoulders Pattern Signals Bullish Breakout Ahead!Current Price: 141.683 Currency Pair: USDJPY Time Frame : 1H This USD/JPY 1-hour chart shows a clear Inverse Head and Shoulders pattern, indicating a potential bullish reversal. The neckline at 141.014 has been broken, and price is now in a retest zone. A successful bounce from this area could drive the price toward the next target at 143.724, aligning with key resistance. The RSI at 58.75 suggests room for further upward movement without being overbought. However, if the retest fails, it could be due to a weak bullish momentum or increased selling pressure, pushing the price below the neckline and invalidating the reversal. In this case, the next significant support level is at 139.675. Despite this risk, the bullish scenario remains more likely.

Inverse Head and Shoulders ?The inverse head and shoulders pattern is a widely recognized bullish reversal pattern in technical analysis. For ADA/USDT on the chart, this pattern could indicate a potential trend reversal from a downtrend to an uptrend. The pattern typically consists of three troughs, with the middle one (the head) being the lowest, and the two others (the shoulders) at a similar height. If ADA/USDT forms this pattern, a breakout above the neckline—drawn through the peaks of the two shoulders—would increase the probability of a bullish move. Traders often wait for a confirmed breakout with significant volume to gauge the strength of the reversal, with the pattern's target price typically being the distance from the head to the neckline projected upwards from the breakout point. However, external market factors and overall cryptocurrency sentiment should also be considered before concluding the likelihood of a strong upward move.

The "Head and Shoulders": Real success rates.Inverted Head and Shoulders: WATCH volumes when the neckline breaks!! Here is what we can say about the success rate of the inverted head and shoulders pattern in trading: -The inverted head and shoulders pattern is considered one of the most reliable chart patterns to anticipate a bullish reversal. -According to some sources, the success rate of this pattern would be very high, with around 98% of cases resulting in a bullish exit. -More precisely, in 63% of cases, the price would reach the price target calculated from the pattern when the neckline is broken. -A pull-back (return to the neckline after the break) would occur in 45% of cases. -However, it should be noted that these very optimistic figures must be qualified. Other sources indicate more modest success rates, around 60%. -The reliability of the pattern depends on several factors such as respect for proportions, neckline breakout, volumes, etc. A rigorous analysis is necessary. -It is recommended to use this pattern in addition to other indicators and analyses, rather than relying on it blindly. In conclusion, although the inverse head and shoulders pattern is considered a very reliable pattern, its actual success rate is probably closer to 60-70% than the 98% sometimes claimed. It remains a useful tool but must be used with caution and in addition to other analyses. __________________________________________________________________ Head and Shoulders: Here is what we can say about the success rate of the head and shoulders pattern in trading: -The head and shoulders pattern is considered one of the most reliable chart patterns, but its exact success rate is debated among technical analysts. Here are the key takeaways: - Some sources claim very high success rates, up to 93% or 96%. However, these figures are likely exaggerated and do not reflect the reality of trading. - In reality, the success rate is likely more modest. One cited study indicates that the price target is reached in about 60% of cases for a classic head and shoulders pattern. - It is important to note that the head and shoulders pattern is not an infallible pattern. Its presence alone is not enough to guarantee a trend reversal. - The reliability of the pattern depends on several factors such as respect for proportions, the breakout of the neckline, volumes, etc. Rigorous analysis is necessary. - Many experienced traders recommend using this pattern in addition to other indicators and analyses, rather than relying on it blindly. In conclusion, while the head and shoulders pattern is considered a reliable pattern, its actual success rate is probably closer to 60% than the 90%+ sometimes claimed. It remains a useful tool but should be used with caution and in conjunction with other analyses. _____________________________________________________________________________ NB: In comparison, the classic (bearish) head and shoulders pattern would have a slightly lower success rate, with around 60% of cases where the price target is reached.

The importance of waiting for patterns to confirmGood morning, I am monitoring the AVAX ecosystem and was paying close attention to JOE. When I checked the USDT pair I could notice a possible falling wedge forming: Then, I checked the BTC pair, and I found a possible inverse head and shoulders: So far we have not confirmed any pattern, and the pum that the AVAX ecosystem experienced, is fading, so what I get from here is the importance of confirming patterns. Even if they are right eventually, your funds would be stuck in there, and you would miss other great oportunities.

Head & ShouldersHello traders this is my head and shoulders back test I usually back test my strategies every 3-6 months because they usually change and I often adjust them. This back test is based on Major pairs only from 2023-2024 For my head and shoulders strategy to be effective I will be implementing a few rules: For TP Hit I will measure if the head and shoulders went as far as the height from the right shoulder to the neck. I will not be including trades such as these .where the breakout was due to high impact news. I will only be taking head and shoulders with a horizontal neckline only I will be focusing on 1h tf The ones I wouldn’t take in real trading: Here are some of the trades that I wouldn’t take in my real trading, some of these trades have a tilted neckline while some have a wrong shoulder to head ratio. Fake out: TP hit: SL HIT: Conclusion: Head and shoulders when paired with trend lines: When I paired my head and shoulder with trend line breakout it has proven to be very powerful. Ranging markets: This strategy is a reversal strategy so it doesn’t work well when we have ranging markets even the head and shoulders indicator is having trouble identifying head and shoulders. The strategy does not perform well in NZDUSD Because it ranges quite a lot which indicates that this strategy can not be used on weak forex pairs such as EURGBP. The minimum number of trades considered to be a good back test can be 100 to 200 trades my back test is way below the recommended mark. There are certain key points to note: I used data from 2023 to 2024 only I back tested only Major forex pairs I used only Head and shoulders that broke not the ones that failed to even breakout eg: approximate win rate 58%

GOLD (XAUUSD): Time For Pullback A sudden breach of the previous record high sparked a significant uptrend in the price of Gold last week, pushing it to a crucial resistance level at 2600. Following a test of this level, the market began to consolidate and formed a head and shoulders pattern on the hourly chart. A break below the neckline of this pattern will be a strong bearish indicator, suggesting a potential retracement from the resistance. To short with confirmation, wait for a breakout of the neckline/support of the range. Targets for this retracement are set at 2569 and 2564.

HBAR BREAKOUT APPEARS IMMINENT! A major breakout appears to be imminent for HBAR! If you’ve seen the most recent HBAR chart I posted, you'll notice that HBAR is now at the very bottom of the handle in a 31-month Cup & Handle formation on the weekly and daily charts. Additionally, HBAR has formed and broken out of a very promising inverted head and shoulders pattern on the 1-hour, 2-hour, 3-hour, and 4-hour charts, and is currently retesting the neckline as I write this article. It is also near the bottom of the wedge pattern and very close to the previously established low range on the chart. I believe we are about to see a significant breakout in the next few days, which could lead to a period of notable price appreciation in the short term. With the Cup & Handle pattern I’ve identified, this trend could continue over the next year as well. Good luck, and always use a stop loss!

Big CCD turnaround after new CEO moves HQ to London? September marked the start of experienced and proven Boris Bohrer-Bilowitzki as new CEO for Concordium. He immediately announced major plans and started by moving the HQ to London. The company is gaining momentum in the current AI trend. Concordium positions itself at the heart of AI innovation and digital twin creation. Concordium's Web3ID emerges as a pivotal tool for AI companies, with accountability and transparency at its core. It is packed with ideas and partnerships with institutions and companies in the pipeline. So. Could the current double bottom mark the start of an (explosive) upward trend (like the IH&S)? The R&R makes me pay attention here!

IMNM - 5 months HEAD & SHOULDERS══════════════════════════════ Since 2014, my markets approach is to spot trading opportunities based solely on the development of CLASSICAL CHART PATTERNS 🤝Let’s learn and grow together 🤝 ══════════════════════════════ Hello Traders ✌ After a careful consideration I came to the conclusion that: - it is crucial to be quick in alerting you with all the opportunities I spot and often I don't post a good pattern because I don't have the opportunity to write down a proper didactical comment; - since my parameters to identify a Classical Pattern and its scenario are very well defined, many of my comments were and would be redundant; - the information that I think is important is very simple and can easily be understood just by looking at charts; For these reasons and hoping to give you a better help, I decided to write comments only when something very specific or interesting shows up, otherwise all the information is shown on the chart. Thank you all for your support 🔎🔎🔎 ALWAYS REMEMBER "A pattern IS NOT a Pattern until the breakout is completed.
