SPX possible H & S price pattern?

Scott...anything is possible...is it probable? Depends on what you think you see as a H & S price pattern. If you're referencing the 12 day consolidation pattern since July 19, it is not a triple top, it just a small rectangle where price is bouncing from support to resistance with similar highs and lows. If price broke channel support, it would suggest a 24 point downside move to 2435, hardly an intermediate term trend reversal. If you are referring to something over a larger time frame, I would say not probable because price is near resistance not at a support low after a triple top, potentially ready to break to the downside. I hope that helps...DJ

Very helpful D.J. when I was looking at the spx and wondering about H & S possibility, I was thinking that it was just the last 12 candles....a very small amount of time. Very clear/helpful what you were saying.
