Let us emphasize here what we suggested at the beginning —that the term "Head and Shoulders” is a pretty abstract and highly imaginary title for a pattern of market behavior. As with all other patterns of behavior involving people and many other unpredictable elements, chart configurations do not follow a rigid formula.
Let us
emphasize here what we suggested at the beginning —that the term "Head
and Shoulders” is a pretty abstract and highly imaginary title for a
pattern of market behavior. As with all other patterns of behavior involving
people and many other unpredictable elements, chart configurations do not
follow a rigid formula. Sometimes the Head is not a point, or a curve, but a
flat-top, representing a "sideways congestion range.” Sometimes the
shoulders are deformed: one does not appear to balance the other. And
sometimes, Complex Head and Shoulders take form, which is to say that a small
pattern is contained within a larger one, or that there are two left shoulders,
two heads and two right shoulders. This need not frighten a public that pays
fortunes for paintings by Picasso. (For the chart variety, see Figure 19.)
