How Ichimoku Shows Head and Shoulder

Following is a 5 minute chart on the /ES for June 16.

This is one of the reason why I like Ichimoku so much.

We can easily spot the head and shoulder by looking at the Chikou Span on the left and trade off it as it breaks support.

Noticed how it breaks and went down from the neckline.
