Inverse Head and Shoulders

 

The Inverse Head and Shoulders pattern is a bullish reversal pattern that signals a potential trend change from bearish to bullish. Here’s how you can trade it effectively:


Step-by-Step Guide to Trading the Inverse Head & Shoulders Pattern

1️⃣ Identify the Pattern

  • Left Shoulder: The price declines, forms a low, and then rises.

  • Head: A lower low is created, forming the head of the pattern.

  • Right Shoulder: The price drops again but makes a higher low than the head.

  • Neckline: A resistance level that connects the peaks between the shoulders.


2️⃣ Confirm the Breakout

  • The pattern is confirmed when the price breaks above the neckline.

  • Look for a high volume breakout to increase reliability.


3️⃣ Entry Strategy

Aggressive Entry

  • Enter as soon as the neckline breaks.

  • Use a tight stop-loss below the right shoulder.

Conservative Entry

  • Wait for a retest of the neckline after the breakout.

  • If the price bounces, enter with confirmation.


4️⃣ Set Stop-Loss

  • Place your stop-loss below the right shoulder or below the head for more security.


5️⃣ Take Profit Target

📍 Measured Move:

  • Calculate the height of the head (from the neckline to the lowest point).

  • Project this height above the neckline as your target.

📍 Partial Profit Booking:

  • Take partial profits at 1:1 risk-reward ratio.

  • Let the rest ride with a trailing stop.


Bonus Tips

🔥 Look for Confluences

  • Check RSI for bullish divergence.

  • Use moving averages (50 EMA, 200 EMA) for extra confirmation.

🔥 Avoid Fake Breakouts

  • Ensure the breakout is sustained with strong volume.

  • If price closes back below the neckline, reconsider your trade.
