## What it means

Three peaks: a higher one (the head) between two lower ones (the shoulders). A close through the neckline that connects the lows signals the trend has turned.

## How it is confirmed without repainting

All three peaks must be confirmed swing points before the pattern counts.

## When it fails

The right shoulder rises above the head.
