Below is a slider quiz to test your ability to identify horn tops. Captions appear below the pictures in red for guidance, so be sure to scroll down far enough to read them.

Horn tops are chart patterns that I found on the weekly scale years ago. They resemble a pair of steer's horns, pointed upward. Before I forget, all of the charts in this
quiz are on the weekly scale. Anyway, Look for two price spikes that tower above a center price bar and are longer than the average price spike (the part which floats above the two
adjacent price bars). The three-bar pattern should be clear of other nearby price bars, but I'm not a stickler
for that. The pattern confirms as a valid one when a weekly price bar closes below the lowest low of the 3-bar pattern. You can also find them on other scales, but on shorter timeframes,
they are not as effective. Volume slopes downward in this example, but I don't think it has much value either way. AB is the horn in this example, in case you didn't guess. C is the
confirmation line. A close below C and the horn becomes a valid pattern.

3 / 7
There's only one horn top on the chart and I mark that as HH. The other two circled don't confirm (price doesn't close below the bottom), so they are not horns.
4 / 7
Find as many horns as you can. Warning: there may not be any to find!
5 / 7
I show two horns on this chart.
6 / 7
Find as many horns tops and bottoms as you can. Warning: there may not be any to find!
7 / 7
Horn tops are labeled as HH and so are the bottoms. Go figure.
