Head and Shoulders
The head and shoulders patterns are indicative of
reversals, encompassing both bearish and bullish
trends. Within this pattern, a single trend line acts as
support, connecting all three triangles known as the
neckline. A breach of the neckline signals a shift in the
trend, allowing us to discern whether it is an upward
or downward trend.

Inverse Head and Shoulders Pattern
Volume associated with head and shoulders:
Throughout the development of the "head and shoulders"
pattern, the left shoulder exhibits the highest volume, followed
by a slightly smaller volume in the head, and the right shoulder
with the smallest volume. The diminishing trading volume
phenomenon indicates that as the stock price ascends, the
buying momentum gradually weakens, suggesting that the
price is approaching its peak.
Entry Strategy Following the Emergence of the
Head and Shoulders Pattern:
Upon the completion of the head and shoulders formation, you
can confidently initiate a short order. The emergence of the
head and shoulders signals the commencement of a new
downtrend in the market, and the potential decline is
measured by the distance from the head to the neckline. The
resulting profit has the potential to be quite substantial.
Double TOP and Double BOTTOM
A Bearish reversal chart pattern, known as a Double
Top, takes shape after an uptrend. It comprises two
peaks above a support level, referred to as the
neckline.
A Bullish reversal chart pattern, identified as a Double
Bottom, emerges following a downtrend. This pattern
consists of two troughs below a support level, also
recognized as the neckline.

Double TOP and Double BOTTOM
Previous Trend: The double top pattern requires a
preceding upward trend lasting several months or
days.
Initial Peak: Typically, this initial peak is higher than the
ongoing trend.
Neckline: Derived from the prior trend, the neckline
should deviate 10% to 30% from the norm. The lows
may exhibit a rounded or elongated shape, indicating
potential low volume or demand.
Second Peak: The price movement from the neckline
to the second peak occurs with low volume. Usually,
the second peak, located within 3% of the previous
high (1st peak), is termed the 2nd peak.
