Double Top Formation Components
First High: Bulls push prices upwards making new highs; however, these new highs are short lived and prices retreat.
Second High: Prices don't retreat for long because bulls make another run, making a similar high. Nevertheless, this is bearish, because bulls were unable to push prices higher; bears held their ground at the previous high level. The bears push prices back to support (Confirmation line); this is a pivotal moment - either bulls will make another push higher or bears will take control and push prices even lower, more than likely taking over for good.

Note that traders expect a significant increase in volume to accompany the confirmation line break; if there is very little volume when price pierces the confirmation line, then the move downward is suspect. Small volume usually means weak support of price movement (see: Volume).

Head and Shoulders Components
Left Shoulder: Bulls push prices upwards making new highs; however these new highs are short lived and prices retreat.
Head: Prices don't retreat for long because bulls make another run, this time succeeding and surpassing the previous high; a bullish sign. Prices retreat again, only to find support yet again.
Right Shoulder: The bulls push higher again, but this time fail to make a higher high. This is very bearish, because bears did not allow the bulls to make a new higher or even an equal high. The bears push prices back to support (Confirmation line); this is a pivotal moment - Will bulls make another push higher or have the bears succeeded in stopping the move higher.
Head and Shoulders Sell Signal

If prices break the confirmation support line, it is clear that the bears are in charge; thus, when price closes below the confirmation line, a strong sell signal is given.

Note that a downward sloping confirmation line is generally seen as a more powerful Head & Shoulders pattern, mainly because a downward sloping confirmation line means that prices are making lower lows.
Reverse Head and Shoulders

The opposite of the Head & Shoulders pattern is the Reverse Head & Shoulders pattern which is another strong pattern, this time a bottoming pattern.

The moving average was likely the first technical study used by traders and investors to determine the trend of the market. The moving average smoothes price fluctuations by averaging a selected number of prices. This removes what engineers refer to as “high-frequency noise" from the data, and from the trader’s standpoint, the smoothing creates a study that can be used as a definition for the trend.
