The 'Head and Shoulders' (HnS) is a widely-known bearish pattern within the trading community.

However, its reliability when it comes to a BTC/USD reversal is the bane of their existence. 

An obvious HnS becomes tasty bait for Bitcoin Market Makers (MMs), who are often short-squeezing inexperienced traders betting on a drop to suck in their liquidity.

When Bitcoin and the overall crypto markets are looking choppy, particularly as alts wait for BTC/USD to make a move, we like to extend our view into other markets for opportunities…
