the explanation
For a topping or bottoming pattern to be a valid reversal pattern there must first of all be AN ESTABLISHED TREND in place prior to the pattern.
so, in application to the Dow Jones ....
yes by the time we got to March, April, May 2010 we had a nice well-established uptrend from March 2009. Therefore whatever reversal pattern we saw, would at least be valid on this basis.
But to call a reverse H&S July 2010 with the market top at April 26, 2010 .... ? ... where the fck is the ESTABLISHED downtrend? There isn't any! At best we have a trend transition etc., etc.,
That's why I said, "if the market does go up bigtime, it won't be because of any such reverse H&S"
