Topping Price Pattern - Head and Shoulders Top
A head and shoulders includes three tops; left shoulder (LS), head and right shoulder (RS). The peak price of the head is the highest of the three tops.
Below is a head and shoulders top chart of weekly closes from Quandl for Lennar (LEN).
The red line, a support level called the neckline, connects the bottoms of the left shoulder and the head. Notice the steep price downside after the neckline support is broken.
