Forming Patterns (predictive — not confirmed)

Head & Shoulders bearish forming
75% built

Possible head & shoulders top — not confirmed. Watch for a daily close below ~98.24 (neckline) to confirm, with measured-move risk toward ~79.13. A push back above 104.54 weakens the pattern; reclaiming 117.34 invalidates it.

Invalidates at 117.34
Left Shoulder 110.04
Head 117.34

Neckline 98.24
Target 79.13

LS 110.04 / head 117.34 / RS 104.54, neckline ~98.24, vol_fading=no

Predictive pattern recognition is educational — most forming structures never confirm. Wait for the confirmation level before treating this as a setup.
