I do not profess to be a technical expert, but isnt a head and shoulders pattern bearish?
Wouldnt we want an inverted H&S?
Or am I mistaken?

Only bearish if it breaks lower. If the neckline holds, it can turn into a very bullish continuation pattern. One great recent example is the S&P 500 from Oct 2009 to Sept 2010. That one was complete with a bear trap, false breakdown that immediately reversed higher.
