After a downtrend, price forms a left shoulder, a lower head, then a higher right shoulder, with a neckline across the two intervening highs. Rising volume on the breakout strengthens it.
Traders buy the neckline breakout, stop below the right shoulder, and target the head-to-neckline distance projected up from the break.
