Bitcoin Reversal Patterns: Head and Shoulders or Inverse
Head and shoulders Bitcoin Setup
This configuration manifests after a protracted upward trajectory in the BTCUSD cryptocurrency market and signifies a reversal pattern. It is composed of three successive peaks: the left shoulder, the head, and the right shoulder, separated by two relatively slight troughs forming the structure.
This bitcoin setup is done when the bitcoin price goes below the neck-line, which is made by connecting the two low points between the shoulders pattern formation.
To initiate a short 'sell' position, Bitcoin traders place their sell stop orders strategically beneath the identified neckline.
