What Are Double Tops Chart Patterns?

By George Kissi

What is a Double Top Chart Pattern? A double top is a regressive pattern that takes place at the zenith of an assurgent trend and can signal the incipient of a descendent trend.

How Do I Identify a Double Top Chart Pattern?

A double top chart pattern takes place in four stages: 1. A higher new price is reached. 2. The trend gets to resistance and sells off to support. 3. The price sets in motion to return to resistance, but another sell off happens, and gets back to support 4. The price dips beneath support, setting a downward trend

What Does a Double Top Chart Pattern Represent?

A double top chart pattern can signify a tug of war between buyers and sellers. While buyers attemp to push the contract, sellers resist the upward trend. When once again the top of the pattern isn't broken, The buyers proceed to back off, allowing the sellers to dominate and send the trend downward.

Be vigilant about volume in this scenario, as it is conceivable to surge once the contract is beneath support. This support level may now eventually be a new resistance level in the new trend.

Observe that a similar chart pattern is the Big M, which has all the principles of a Double Top, but with greater dizzying moves.
