Step 1: Uptrend The very first part of a head and shoulders pattern is the uptrend. This is the extended move higher that eventually leads to exhaustion.
Step 2: Left shoulder The market moves down to form a higher low. At this point, things are starting to come together, but we don’t quite have enough to draw the neckline.
Step 3: Head Now that the left shoulder has formed, the market makes a higher high which forms the head. But despite the bullish rally, buyers are unable to make a substantially higher low.
Step 4: Right shoulder The right shoulder is where things come together. It’s an indication that buyers are tiring and that the market may be gearing up for a reversal. As soon as the right shoulder begins, we have enough to start plotting the neckline.
Step 5: Neckline Now that we have a defined head and two shoulders we can draw neckline support. This level will become a key component when we get into how to trade the breakout.
In addition to the above steps : - Trend line support has been broken - RSI is below 50
How to trade this pattern :
Open a position when the price breaks through the neck line
Place a stop loss order above the right shoulder
Price target for the formation is equal to the depth of the neck line to the head of the formation

Congrats for those who held on the trade, TP should hit any moment. I was too conservative for this trade due to the news.
