Double Top

Technical Analysis

Ce que ça veut dire

A reversal pattern where price hits the same high twice and then falls. It looks like an "M" and hints that the up trend has run out of buyers.

Exemple

A stock peaks at $100, pulls back to $92, rallies back to $100, and fails. Two failed attempts at $100 form a double top, hinting a down move may follow.

L'erreur des débutants

Beginners short the second top before confirmation. The pattern is only complete when price breaks below the $92 "valley" between the tops -- shorting early gets you squeezed.
