SIRI seems to have formed a head and shoulders (H&S) pattern. Please take a look at the 1-year chart of Sirius below with my added notations:

After rallying much higher this past year, SIRI has now created a key level of support at $3.55 (blue). That $3.55 level is also the “neckline” support for SIRI’s H&S reversal pattern. Above the neckline you will notice the H&S pattern itself (yellow). H&S patterns are reversal patterns, so the formation on SIRI woudl imply an impending break lower.

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 break below its $3.55 support.
