HEAD

Invers H&S in making on 4HHello traders, by the look on the 4h chart, it seems very likely, we are making inverse Head & Shoulders pattern, which is maybe one of the only patterns bitcoin really follows most of the times. If thats going to work out, we should make another shoulder down to around 8750/8900 area and when price go back up to 9150/9250 and brake the neck area, we should get to at least 9700/9800. Depending on how strong this move gets at that point, if bulls are strong enough, they may try to test the 10k area again. Lets see. Can it be, what bulls need now? Or bears will take over and take us lower? Let me know, what you think, in comments. Thank you. This is not a trading advice!

Looking for 9k confirmation before re-testMy previous short target hit, albeit very quickly (see related idea). I'm waiting for us to creep back down to low 9k's/ high 8k's before we confirm whether or not we will continue this raunchy looking triangle. if the triangle is not to continue, we will fail to break 9500. This resistance may be encountered beginning at 9300+. Alts are showing more strength than ever. I have my eyes on several projects that have been trading strong against btc's descent.

Trading the Inverse Head And ShoulderAn inverse head and shoulders , also called a "head and shoulders bottom" , is similar to the standard head and shoulders pattern, but inverted: with the head and shoulders top used to predict reversals in downtrends. This pattern is identified when the price action of a security meets the following characteristics: the price falls to a trough and then rises; the price falls below the former trough and then rises again; finally, the price falls again but not as far as the second trough. Once the final trough is made, the price heads upward, toward the resistance found near the top of the previous troughs. Investors typically enter into a long position when the price rises above the resistance of the neckline. The first and third trough are considered shoulders and the second peak forms the head. A move above the resistance, also known as the neckline, is used as a signal of a sharp move higher. Many traders watch for a large spike in volume to confirm the validity of the breakout. This pattern is the opposite of the popular head and shoulders pattern but is used to predict shifts in a downtrend rather than an uptrend. A suitable profit target can be ascertained by measuring the distance between the bottom of the head and the neckline of the pattern and using that same distance to project how far price may move in the direction of the breakout. For example, if the distance between the head and neckline is ten points, the profit target is set ten points above the pattern's neckline. An aggressive stop loss order can be placed below the breakout price bar or candle. Alternatively, a conservative stop loss order can be placed below the right shoulder of the inverse head and shoulders pattern. An inverse head and shoulders pattern is comprised of three component parts: After long bearish trends, the price falls to a trough and subsequently rises to form a peak. The price falls again to form a second trough substantially below the initial low and rises yet again. The price falls for a third time, but only to the level of the first trough, before rising once more and reversing the trend. Trading an Inverse Head and Shoulders Aggressively A buy stop order can be placed just above the neckline of the inverse head and shoulders pattern. This ensures the investor enters on the first break of the neckline, catching upward momentum. Disadvantages of this strategy include the possibility of a false breakout and higher slippage in relation to order execution. Trading an Inverse Head and Shoulders Conservatively An investor can wait for the price to close above the neckline; this is effectively waiting for confirmation that the breakout is valid. Using this strategy, an investor can enter on the first close above the neckline. Alternatively, a limit order can be placed at or just below the broken neckline, attempting to get an execution on a retrace in price. Waiting for a retrace is likely to result in less slippage; however, there is the possibility of missing the trade if a pullback does not occur.

How to Properly Sell the Head & Shoulder Pattern for Easy $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.
