**Trading Playbook – Head & Shoulders & Inverse Head & Shoulders** | Item | Details | |------|---------| | **Pattern Overview** | • **Head & Shoulders (H&S)** – bearish. <br>• **Inverse Head & Shoulders (I‑H&S)** – bullish. | | **Key Rules** | 1. **Neckline** must connect all “armpits” (left shoulder, head, right shoulder). <br>2. **Head** must be the highest point of the formation. <br>3. **Shoulders** cannot exceed the head’s height. <br>4. **Neckline slope**: <br> • H&S – up‑sloping (or flat). <br> • I‑H&S – flat or down‑sloping. | | **Measured Move** | Distance from head top to neckline. Project this distance beyond the breakout point to estimate a target. | | **Bitcoin Example** | • **Bearish H&S**: <br> • Neckline up‑sloping, head at ~$65k, measured move ≈ $35k. <br> • Actual drop ~27% to ~$60k pivot (did not hit full target). <br>• **Bullish I‑H&S**: <br> • Neckline flat/down‑sloping, head at ~$70k, measured move ≈ $107.5k. <br> • Breakout reached ~$107.5k, aligning with a prior high pivot. | | **Entry / Exit** | • **H&S**: <br> • Short on breakout below neckline or on a retrace to the neckline. <br> • Stop‑loss above the head. <br> • Target = measured move (or a partial move if support limits it). <br>• **I‑H&S**: <br> • Long on breakout above neckline or on a retrace to the neckline. <br> • Stop‑loss below the head. <br> • Target = measured move. | | **Timeframes** | Patterns can appear on daily, weekly, hourly, 10‑minute, and 1‑hour charts. Scan all relevant timeframes for setups. | | **Risk Management** | • Use stop‑losses to protect against false breakouts. <br>• Treat measured move as a guide; actual price may stop earlier due to support/resistance. <br>• Be patient and wait for a clear neckline break or retrace before entering. | | **Takeaway** | Head & Shoulders and Inverse Head & Shoulders are powerful trend‑reversal signals. Identify the neckline, head, and shoulders, calculate the measured move, and trade breakouts or retraces with appropriate stops. Apply the same logic across any timeframe for consistent trading opportunities.
