The head and shoulders are trend reversal patterns. They form at the end of a trend and makes a kind of triple top or bottme but only with the middle pick reaching into a higher high or a lower low and the lift and right picks being equal thus making a sort of head with 2 shoulders. After this pattern is clear you would wait until price breaks the neckline for confirmation of the reversal. Once confirmed Target Is the Distance Between The Top Of Head To Neckline Added To The Breakout. Note: I personally always trade pullbacks with this pattern never breakouts although I do have a favorite way of trading this pattern from the right shoulder witch I will attach here at a latter date.
