Inverse H&S versus Triple Bottom

Inverse H&S versus Triple Bottom is the distinction between a dominant middle low and three comparable lows.

Advanced 1 linked topicEvidence-reviewed

Definitions

In plain terms

Triple bottom treats all three lows as comparable; inverse head and shoulders requires a lower head and comparable shoulders.

Technical

Route L-H-L-H-L to inverse head and shoulders only when inverse dominance passes while shoulder similarity remains within tolerance.

Scope

Pattern routing must follow the declared geometry rather than a visual label.

Examples

  • A reviewer computes Inverse H&S versus Triple Bottom on a deterministic close fixture and checks pivot timing, threshold equality, neckline behavior, and rejection diagnostics before publication.

Common misconceptions

  • Pattern routing must follow the declared geometry rather than a visual label.
