Hello Traders ✌

Here we have a quite perfect Head & Shoulders Continuation with a sloping down neckline. The main problem with sloping necklines is dealing with the immediate previous highs (or lows) but this is an easy case since the breakout would exceed all of them at the same time. Target is between two previous levels, the strongest just beyond it at 6.40 (which is good since it is should “attract” prices) and one weaker just before it at 5.60 with which we may have to deal if prices go towards target..

Instead of making another post on the educational section, I want to point out something about what seemed to be another Head & Shoulder (black one). When evaluating a chart pattern, we must always consider two aspects:
If the pattern itself has all the characteristics it must have to be considered as such;
Where it is developing and with which proportion compared with the macro situation;
In that case, looking only at the pattern, we can label it as a Head & Shoulders Bottom BUT it is not at the bottom of anything! It is not trying to revert any previous downtrend compared with its proportion!
If we look at weekly chart, we can see that it is just re-testing the all-time low. This is true EVEN if it has quickly reached its target at 3.60!

Almost identical scenario with VLO stock: https:Both are energetic stocks involved in Oil services so be aware that considering both opportunities is like doubling the risk.

  • Pattern Class: 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
  • Target area: 6.00
  • Breakout area above: 4.10
Entry Point and Initial Stop Loss depends on your Trading Plan Tactics and Money Management rules.
