About the Head & Shoulders pattern
The head and shoulders pattern is another reversal pattern similar to the double top and bottom. It consists of a left shoulder, a head (the highest point), a right shoulder, and a neckline. A head and shoulders top is a bearish pattern, indicating a potential downward trend, while a head and shoulders bottom is a bullish pattern, indicating a potential upward trend. The neckline is a crucial level, and a breakout below the neckline for a head and shoulders top or above the neckline for a head and shoulders bottom confirms the pattern.

Win rate = share of occurrences where the stock beat SPY over the window in the direction the signal predicted — for a bearish setup, a win means it underperformed. Measured since 2025-01-01 on our own detections, which puts the coin-flip line at 50%. Sample sizes are small; treat these as context, not as an edge.
