Head and Shoulders

lauralea Updated   
NASDAQ:ALNY   Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
If price falls below neckline, possibe fall to lower levels..Pattern not valid until price goes below neckline or $120..I colored the neckline red vs green because this is a bearish pattern, but the line is support. If price does not fall below support, this pattern can change.

Targets if falls below neckline: 90.8 83 Targets 2: 60 43.5

Possible stop above 134.35.

The head and shoulders chart pattern is a popular and easy to spot pattern in technical analysis that shows a baseline with three peaks, the middle peak being the highest. The head and shoulders chart depicts a bullish-to-bearish trend reversal and signals that an upward trend is nearing its end.

The initial peak and subsequent decline represent the waning momentum of the prior bullish trend. Wanting to sustain the upward movement as long as possible, bulls rally to push the price back up past the initial peak to reach a new high (the head). At this point, it is still possible that bulls could reinstate their market dominance and continue the upward trend.

However, once price declines a second time and reaches a point below the initial peak, it is clear that bears are gaining ground. Bulls try one more time to push price upward but succeed only in hitting the lesser high reached in the initial peak. This failure to surpass the highest high signals the bulls' defeat and bears take over, driving the price downward and completing the reversal

Not a recommendation
