I had not really noticed this H&S top in sp500 until I saw this article.  I was not really able to identify it because the trading range was so narrow.

 

This author says the pattern exists from July 14th onward.

If true then we are in for a world of hurt right into the election.  The market is going to decide the election !

Magnitudes of price ranges are too small to be a significant H&S....JMHO.

Where's the daily volume on the chart for confirmation?

Tim Ord: The Ord Oracle October 14, 2016

Yesterday we said, “A possible scenario that may be in development is a Head and Shoulders top.  The Right 
Shoulder is forming now.  To help qualify this pattern, we would like to see volume increase on the coming potential pull back and not see panic in the tick or trin as the pull back progress.

Does the volume pattern on the chart offered by Tim suggest a head and shoulders top?

Ominous charts point to a crash (a la October 1987)

Market columnist Mark Hulbert says the market is setting up for a monster rally and points out that the Dow has gained an average of 6.8% from its lowest point in October through the end of that same year.

Wall Street should hope that he’s right.

Another chart without any volume data to confirm if the pattern is, in fact, a head and shoulders top.

 

What has happened to the art of price to volume charting...does it exist anymore??

That's quaint that you feel TA actually works in a manipulated market, driven by HFT algo's.  Even quainter still, are the charts that Da Chief shows, that have no dates or years on them, and are likely from the late 90's.
