Hey ForexTrader. I remember you mentioned that. I see the pattern you referenced but I'm not sure it applies here. But I definitely can't rule it out either. I've learned over the years that standard IHS and H&S shoulders patterns as they are laid out in the tech analysis manuals are only right about half the time.So what I did was I researched the ones that played out and matched them to specific TDI patterns. So what I normally look for in an IHS pattern is a series of 3 higher lows near the bottom that are congruent with each of the pattern manifestations in the IHS or H&S.In the case of an IHS, the left shoulder makes the lowest peak on the TDI. The head makes a slightly higher TDI low and then finally the right shoulder makes an even higher low. For H&S patterns, just reverse that...left shoulder makes the highest peak, the head makes a lower peak and the right shoulder makes a 3rd lower peak.AUD/NZD is a perfect example of one that's playing out right now actually. Here's the chart I've had for quite some time along with the TDI pattern to go along with it that I've found confirms the pattern with a pretty high accuracy rating.When I look at the ACAD chart, the TDI setup isn't the same. It's similar but the layout doesn't look correct. I do see more potential upside for ACAD later but for now, it's probably going to be trapped inside a contracting triangle pattern.Here's the AUD/NZD chart I mentioned with the IHS price action pattern and the TDI confirmation pattern to go with it...I use this quite often to help confirm Wave 4 TDI patterns...EDIT: I forgot to mention that one of the key components on those TDI peaks for either IHS or H&S is that they can be tied together with a single trend line and that the peaks are fairly close together. If the peaks are spread far apart or you have trouble connecting all 3 points with a single trend line, then it probably isn't an IHS or H&S pattern.
