What is a Head and Shoulders Pattern?

A head and shoulders pattern is used in technical analysis to predict a change in an asset price trend.

The pattern formation consists of a lower price peak that looks like a left shoulder, a higher price peak that resembles a head formation, a right shoulder that is another lower price peak and a neckline that is drawn by analysts. Direction change occurs when the neckline price level breaks out followed by high trading volume.

The inverted head and shoulders pattern present the mirror picture. It consists of a higher price trough that looks like an inverted left shoulder, a lower price trough that resembles an inverted head formation, a right shoulder that is another higher price trough and a neckline that is drawn by analysts. It indicates a possible price bottom followed by the asset appreciation in value.
