Everything about Head and Shoulder Pattern

Free Technical Analysis course (4/10) 🧵

A head and shoulders (H&S) pattern is a chart pattern of three peaks, where the outer two are close in height, and the middle is the highest.

It is one of several top patterns that signal an upward trend is nearing its end.
How do we trade the H&S pattern?

We find out stock that has the pattern but has not given a breakdown below the support or neckline which means it is in the formation of the right shoulder.

Generally, we track the stock just before the breakout so that we don't miss a big move.
What does this mean?

Basically, we look out for the charts where the price is forming the right shoulder or consolidating just above the neckline.

As seen in the chart where the price was in consolidation just above the resistance before the breakdown and big downmove.
Now the most important question is how we trade this pattern?

1. First identify stocks that are forming the H&S pattern and are about to give a breakdown.
2. Stoploss would be the nearest swing high or right shoulder high.
3. How to set a target?

Just calculate the height of the shoulder and then head from high to the bottom. Add that much depth above the support to get the first target and second targets.

Let's see a trade with a live example:
In the Lupin Trade, an H&S pattern has formed.
Some consolidation can be seen just above support, which can be the selling point at 1800.

The previous swing high at 1865 is the stoploss for shorts.
A target of 1315 was calculated which got hit.

A good trade with R:R of 1:7.
Just a note:

Head and Shoulder is a bearish pattern and to trade this one has to trade in either futures or options as short in cash is not allowed.

An alternative for cash traders would be to exit Lupin from their portfolio if they are holding it.
That's all about Head and Shoulder Technical chart patterns.
