False Break to Head & Shoulders pattern? Waiting for breakout

Long
NASDAQ:ZNGA   None
This oversold stock is trading inside a clear trading range for about a year: 2.8-.2.4 with bottoms near 2.2$
The Head & Shoulders pattern shown in the chart was triggered during August but the price ended up creating a False Break to the neck line (assumed to be the 2.4 support zone).
If that's a False Break, we may expect $ZNGA to breakout on the other direction (meaning - up).
It needs the support of the Market to breakout of the daily downtrend line and the 50 SMA line that comes with it.

The initial signal should be a close above the fast SMA line (which hasn't happened yet!)
If the price will close above 2.5 it may rally towards the 50 SMA line and the 200 SMA line as short term targets but if the price will breakout of the trend line, we can assume that eventually it will try and reach the top of the trading range near 2.8.

The required stop loss here is about 20 cents right now (below 2.4$) but for those who seek longer term positions should place wider stop loss, below 2.2$.

For the bears among you, a close below 2.4$ could trigger the H&S back again that may push the price below 2.2 towards 2.0-2.1$ to complete a bullish AB=CD pattern
