Figure 4.1: Head and Shoulder Pattern
An Inverse Head and Shoulder is just mirror image of the Head and Shoulder pattern. This should appear
after a sustained
down trend, the rule of stop loss and target are similar. This often acts as a
very effective
bullish reversal pattern.
4.2 Double Tops and Bottoms:
These chart patterns are well-known patterns that signal a trend reversal – these are considered to be one of
the most reliable patterns and are commonly used. These patterns are formed after a sustained trend and
signal to chartists that the trend is about to reverse. These patterns are created when price movement tests
support or resistance levels twice and is unable to break through. These patterns
are often used to signal
intermediate and long-term trend reversals.
