What is the head and shoulders pattern:-

The head and shoulders pattern is used in technical analysis. This is a typical chart formation that predicts a bullish-to-bearish trend reversal. The pattern appears as a baseline with three peaks, where the outer two are close in height, and the middle is the highest.

The head and shoulders pattern is formed when the price of a stock rises to a peak and then retraces to the base of the previous up-move. Then, the price rises above the previous peak to form a "head" and then back to the original base. Finally, the stock price reaches the level of the formation's first peak before turning down again.

The Head and Shoulders pattern is considered to be one of the most reliable trend reversal patterns. It is one of several top patterns that signal with varying degrees of accuracy that an uptrend is nearing its end.

Formation of the pattern:-
Left shoulder: Price rise followed by a price peak, followed by a decline.
Head: Price rise again forming a higher peak.
Right shoulder: A decline occurs once again, followed by a rise to form the right peak,
which is lower than the head.

What Is the Inverse Head and Shoulders Pattern:-

inverse head and shoulders, also called a "head and shoulders bottom", is similar to the standard head and shoulders pattern, but inverted: with the head and shoulders top used to predict reversals in downtrends.
This pattern is identified when the price action of security meets the following characteristics: the price falls into a trough and then rises again; the price falls below the former trough and rises again; Finally, the price falls again but not to the second trough. Once the final trough is formed, the price moves upwards towards the resistance found near the top of the previous trough.

Formation of the pattern:-
Left shoulder: Price declines followed by a price bottom, followed by an increase.
Head: Price declines again forming a lower bottom.
Right shoulder: Price increases once again, then declines to form the right bottom.
