1. Also called a lower swing high trend reversal, a Head and Shoulders pattern is formed when a security within an uptrend traces a lower swing high than the previous one.

2. The Head and Shoulders pattern is powerful because the sentiment that was formerly producing the uptrend is now possibly shifting and buying pressure is decreasing.

3. Head and Shoulders patterns can be stronger when the price breaks below the “neckline”, which is a straight line is connecting the swing lows that created the shoulders.
