Wishful thinking! That is not a valid megaphone. July 7th to July 31st could be said to be a megaphone top, however... A badly formed one!

Megaphone tops have lowering average market momentum and increasing volatility. We have decreasing volatility and short term stable/accelerating momentum.


Chart patterns are pretty unreliable IMO. However, widely recognized chart patterns effect market sentiment and their effects upon peoples behavior should be noted. Eg, if a giant head and shoulders forms and it ends up on a CNBC segment or headlines... It can suppress demand a bit more than normal because everyone that follows chart patterns becomes spooked and is either shorting or scared to buy.

Chart patterns are fairly useless without knowing the structure of supply/demand within said pattern.
