FB could be forming a head and shoulders (H&S) pattern. Please take a look at the 1-year chart of FB (Facebook, Inc.) below with my added notations:
FB has performed quite well over the last 5 months while creating a key level at $45 (blue). That $45 level, which has been recent support, is also the possible “neckline” for FB's potentially still forming H&S pattern. Above the neckline you will notice the H&S pattern itself (pink).
Remember, patterns such as an H&S need to confirm to have the meaning that they imply. Confirmation of the H&S would occur if the stock were to roll over and break below its $45 support. If FB does break that level, the stock should move lower from there.

The Tale of the Tape: FB could be forming a head & shoulders pattern. Although a trader could go long at $45 expecting a bounce, the stock's pattern would imply an eventual breakdown. If that happens, a short trade should be entered on a break of that $45 level.
