Forming Patterns (predictive — not confirmed)

Head & Shoulders bearish forming
75% built

Possible head & shoulders top — not confirmed. Watch for a daily close below ~502.81 (neckline) to confirm, with measured-move risk toward ~411.10. A push back above 536.62 weakens the pattern; reclaiming 594.51 invalidates it.

LS 565.42 / head 594.51 / RS 536.62, neckline ~502.81, vol_fading=no

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