Head and Shoulders

Bearish63% Win Rate~22 bars to target

The head and shoulders is one of the most reliable topping patterns. A central peak (head) flanked by two lower peaks (shoulders) with a neckline connecting the troughs. Breakdown below the neckline signals trend reversal.

How to Identify the Head and Shoulders

  1. 1Left shoulder: advance and pullback to neckline
  2. 2Head: new high above left shoulder, then pullback to neckline
  3. 3Right shoulder: weaker rally (lower than head), then decline
  4. 4Neckline: connect the two pullback lows — breakdown below this confirms the pattern

When to Trade It

Short the breakdown below the neckline with a close below. Stop above the right shoulder. Target: height of the head above the neckline subtracted from the breakdown point.

EdgeOS integration: look for SCTR below 4, bear count 1–4, and confirmed/fluid bear trend to align the pattern signal with the EdgeOS system for highest-conviction entries.
