Common human psychology says, \u201cWhen danger strikes either one fights or flights.\u201d The same is the case with investor sentiment, giving traders who can control their emotions ample opportunities for profiting from reversals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a downtrend, the best traders remain patient and allow the perfect setup – where the bears become exhausted and the bulls have been waiting for the right time to buy their favorite stock at bargain prices. The lack of sellers and plethora of buyers create a highly profitable setup, if you can spot the reversal before it happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most reliable reversal trends traders use in a downtrend is the inverse head and shoulders pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s discuss the inverse head and shoulders strategy, what it looks like, its pros and cons, and how to trade it. <\/p>\n\n\n

What Is an Inverse Head and Shoulders Pattern?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The inverse head and shoulders pattern is a technical indicator that signals a potential reversal from a downward trend to an upward trend. The pattern appears as a head, 2 shoulders, and neckline in an inverted position. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A traditional head and shoulders pattern<\/a> indicates a bullish to bearish trend, whereas the inverted head and shoulders signals the opposite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are four main components of a reverse head and shoulders pattern. Three troughs form the first shoulder, head and second shoulder. The two high points, or pullbacks, form the neckline in the pattern. The neckline is also known as the resistance line. <\/p>\n\n\n

The pattern can be confirmed once the market closes above the neckline after the second shoulder is formed. This is also known as the breakout. Strong buyer volume is what helps push prices up consistently to reach the breakout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the downtrend, bulls will wait on the sideline waiting for the stock to find support. Once the bottom is formed, the influx of buyers pushes the price up. Simultaneously, sellers have been exhausted after the long downtrend. This setup creates large potential for profit, as buying pressure completely overwhelms selling pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
