  The 'head and shoulder' pattern is a widely recognized chart pattern in cryptocurrency trading. It is characterized by three peaks, with the middle peak being the highest. The pattern indicates a potential trend reversal from bullish to bearish. Traders often use this pattern to identify selling opportunities and manage their risk. To identify the 'head and shoulder' pattern, traders can draw trendlines connecting the peaks and the neckline. The neckline is a line drawn through the lowest points between the shoulders. When the price breaks below the neckline, it confirms the pattern and suggests that the price may continue to decline. However, it's important to note that not all 'head and shoulder' patterns lead to a significant price decline, and traders should consider other factors and indicators before making trading decisions.
