The Double Top is a bearish chart pattern in the shape of an “M”. The price makes two successive peaks at approximately the same level, indicating significant resistance. This chart pattern shows investors’ desire not to let the price reach new highs, and their desire to reverse the current trend.
The objective of a double top figure is calculated by plotting the height of the figure below the neck line.
When validating these patterns, it is common for the course to pullback on the neck line before reaching the objective of the figure.
