<<If thats true, then where do head and shoulders bottoms come from? Eventually a low cannot be retested and you get a higher low. All bottoms are not double bottoms.>>

Well yeah... there's all kinds o' bottoms. Was responding to the idea that we were on the way to a happy w this very day. But a head and shoulders bottom would actually fit the same scenario fairly well, with the head being the lower low (remember an h&s bottom is an inverted h&s) or second "v," and the inverted right shoulder subject to various interpretations. It all depends on context.

The reason that a technician might be happier with a lower second "v" would be that it's thought to signify, at least potentially, the real shaking out of the last weak hands.
