As its name implies, the Head and Shoulders reversal pattern is made up of a left shoulder, a head, a right shoulder, and a neckline. Other parts playing a role in the pattern are volume, the breakout, price target and support turned resistance. We will look at each part individually, and then put them together with some examples.
Prior Trend: It is important to establish the existence of a prior uptrend for this to be a reversal pattern. Without a prior uptrend to reverse, there cannot be a Head and Shoulders reversal pattern (or any reversal pattern for that matter).
Left Shoulder: While in an uptrend, the left shoulder forms a peak that marks the high point of the current trend. After making this peak, a decline ensues to complete the formation of the shoulder (1). The low of the decline usually remains above the trend line, keeping the uptrend intact.
Head: From the low of the left shoulder, an advance begins that exceeds the previous high and marks the top of the head. After peaking, the low of the subsequent decline marks the second point of the neckline (2). The low of the decline usually breaks the uptrend line, putting the uptrend in jeopardy.
Right Shoulder: The advance from the low of the head forms the right shoulder. This peak is lower than the head (a lower high) and usually in line with the high of the left shoulder. While symmetry is preferred, sometimes the shoulders can be out of whack. The decline from the peak of the right shoulder should break the neckline.
Neckline: The neckline forms by connecting low points 1 and 2. Low point 1 marks the end of the left shoulder and the beginning of the head. Low point 2 marks the end of the head and the beginning of the right shoulder. Depending on the relationship between the two low points, the neckline can slope up, slope down or be horizontal. The slope of the neckline will affect the pattern's degree of bearishness: a downward slope is more bearish than an upward slope. Sometimes more than one low point can be used to form the neckline.
Volume: As the Head and Shoulders pattern unfolds, volume plays an important role in confirmation. Volume can be measured as an indicator (OBV, Chaikin Money Flow) or simply by analyzing volume levels. Ideally, but not always, volume during the advance of the left shoulder should be higher than during the advance of the head. This decrease in volume and the new high of the head, together, serve as a warning sign. The next warning sign comes when volume increases on the decline from the peak of the head. Final confirmation comes when volume further increases during the decline of the right shoulder.
Neckline Break: The head and shoulders pattern is not complete and the uptrend is not reversed until neckline support is broken. Ideally, this should also occur in a convincing manner, with an expansion in volume.
Support Turned Resistance: Once support is broken, it is common for this same support level to turn into resistance. Sometimes, but certainly not always, the price will return to the support break, and offer a second chance to sell.
Price Target: After breaking neckline support, the projected price decline is found by measuring the distance from the neckline to the top of the head. This distance is then subtracted from the neckline to reach a price target. Any price target should serve as a rough guide, and other factors should be considered as well. These factors might include previous support levels, Fibonacci retracements, or long-term moving averages.
whats a head and shoulders?
Was that Coincidence again with the 420th BSKS post? LOL

Let me know if you do, so I can buy more! LOL
Maybe if BSKS does not let the head and shoulders form... and with a solid bounce from $4.20 it definitely will see $10. and higher! IMO
word has it....$10.00
And a BSKS $12 potential new high - IMO... As I see it.
oh I see it now.....$4 potential low
I see...meaning no shorts...people can't find shares to short against
In My BSKS Opinion ~
That's because it's a search for BSKS, and nothing showed up.
is this where it could drop to?
I do not see BSKS listed on that web site...I do not see any stocks actually.
BSKS Quote: In My Opinion ~
Response to BSKS rbarsom http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=69574869
It might of done more harm then good... with his response about BSKS.
Shorters vs. rbarsom - IMO
No offense BSKS...
Obsidian BSKS... Same group that won the case? Funny if it was!
http://ofinancialinc.com/pick-of-the-day/bsks-pick-of-the-day-hit-high-160-up-from-initial-alert
U.S. District Court judge ruled that a BSKS blogger must pay $2.5 million to an investment firm she wrote about — because she isn’t a real journalist.
Nah just kidding it wasn't BSKS it was The Obsidian Finance Group sued Cox in January for $10 million for writing several blog posts critical of the company and its co-founder, Kevin Padrick. Obsidian argued that the writing was defamatory. Cox represented herself in court.
Justice system its all we got... what else are you going to do hate them?
http://mashable.com/2011/12/07/blogger-vs-journalist/
If bloggers are not journalist because they need to be “affiliated with any newspaper, magazine, periodical, book, pamphlet, news service, wire service, news or feature syndicate, broadcast station or network, or cable television system.”… Then if you publish your blog into a book or pamphlet then you would become a writer? Would it be ok then? Sounds like not only governors need to be convicted for corruption, but maybe some judges too… Uh oh, should I be worried for saying that? Ha!...
This reminds me of what BSKS does to shorters LOL
But you do remember the .coms? Things were valued for much much higher for much much less... I think what comes around will go around and we will see those kind of days again... This is the new information age... where just simple ideas will carry a high value!
That would be hard to say... But much much more eventually... But in the short term honestly, I cant see it going past $12 without revenues and financials to back it up.
O K Guys. I am still a little concerned. The stock keeps climbing, but to me, there is not a lot of share activity. Are we ( IHUB people) the only ones looking at this ? I doubt it. So what's up with the low (???) volume ?
where do u think it is headed? $10?
New 52wk High Again BSKS Bluesky Sys Hldngs (BSKS) $ 7.77 up 0.87 (12.61%)
shady as in pump and dumpers...yes
That's amazing. Usually these guys get 10 years max and a slap on the wrist. I love justice.
Now if only some shady penny stock promoters got the same sentence..
Cough LEX* Cough
Whoaa thats nuts
A judge has sentenced ousted Ill. Gov. Rod Blagojevich to 14 years in prison for corruption.
Each broker has a different short inventory, so no.
What do you really think you will find? BSKS is a new company still hiring its team... Financials is the third priority in my opinion...
Share Structure & Investors
Business Model & Intellectual Properties
Financials & Revenues
I do not see financials published at sec.gov however....
Simple 851,631 BSKS shares outstanding... 1:30 reverse stock split with "The Company's authorized capital stock consists of 50,000,000 common shares, $0.001 par value per share, of which 25,548,933 shares are issued and outstanding."
Show me a stock at .05 - .30 with 300K Float and 800K Outstanding... And I'll show you some Blue Skies.
Business Model and locking up 31 Patents also helped... But not as much as the Share Structure did.
http://biz.yahoo.com/e/110802/bsks.ob8-k.html
is there a web site to find out?
IB has a list you search stocks and find how many shares there are to short. You can call if you want but it's not needed.
With other brokers you need to call/live chat.
how does one find shares to short? A call to broker? Any other way
?
How did it do this so greatly?
Yes I think BSKS has set the new bar many issuers will try and emulate...
I know for sure they will try.

Can't even find shares to short at interactive brokers. This thing has nothing in the way to stop a run. Have fun.
a beast at $7.05...incredible
