The Ultimate Guide to Head and Shoulders Pattern

Not every dip against the trend means trouble, but some chart patterns can make things much clearer. In this video, we’ll go over the head-and-shoulders trading pattern and double-top setups. You’ll see how a neckline breakout can signal a true reversal instead of just a pullback. We’ll walk through the whole process, from the broken swing low to the neckline break, just like professional futures traders do to tell the difference between a real trend change and a short-term retracement. When all these signals line up, it’s hard to ignore the reversal. If they don’t, it usually means the trend is just taking a pause.
