Looking for new trading ideas to increase your profitability? Mastering chart patterns is a proven strategy that can significantly boost your trading results. In this blog post, we will explore some of the most effective chart patterns and show how altFINS can help you take advantage of them for impressive profits.
Effective Chart Patterns: Inverse Head and Shoulders & Head and Shoulders
Two highly reliable chart patterns are the Inverse Head and Shoulders (bullish) and Head and Shoulders (bearish). These patterns have success rates of 86% and 81%, respectively. Recently, our system identified two profitable trade signals using these patterns:
EOS: Head and Shoulders (+16% Profit)

FITFI: Head and Shoulders (+18% Profit)

An Inverse Head and Shoulders pattern on a price chart is identified by three troughs: a lower trough (head) situated between two higher troughs (shoulders). Initially, the price dips to form the first trough, followed by a temporary rally. The price then declines further, forming the lower head, and subsequently rises again, creating the second shoulder.
The pattern is deemed complete when the price surpasses the "neckline," a resistance level that links the highs of the two shoulders. Traders and investors view the inverse head and shoulders pattern as a signal of a potential shift from bearish to bullish sentiment, often anticipating an upward trend in the asset's price.

A Head and Shoulders pattern on a price chart is characterized by three peaks: a higher peak (head) between two lower peaks (shoulders). Initially, the price rises to form the first peak, followed by a temporary decline. The price then climbs higher to form the central peak (head) and subsequently falls again. Finally, the price rises once more to create the second shoulder.
The pattern is considered complete when the price breaks below the "neckline," a support level connecting the lows of the two shoulders. Traders and investors interpret the head and shoulders pattern as an indication of a potential shift from bullish to bearish sentiment, often predicting a downward trend in the asset's price.
