Inverse Head & Shoulder Pattern suggests buying opportunity in Biocon

An Inverse Head and Shoulders reversal pattern forms after completion of a down trend. In the standard Inverse head and shoulders pattern, we connect the high after the left shoulder with the high created after the head.

A trend line is drawn by connecting these highest points of the two peaks, which is called as “Neckline". This trend line is the most important component of Inverse H&S pattern.

Why to buy Biocon?

Biocon Limited is trading in an up move while forming Inverse Head & Shoulders pattern and this emerging pattern will be completed on a close above 263 marks. This stock is trading near strong resistance line standing around 263 levels which is tested multiple times earlier which also suggest a strong bullish bias to continue further after a breakout.

Volume will also add further insight while trading these patterns. Decent volume participation while giving breakout will also give support to Inverse H& S pattern.
