Chart Patterns

Double Top

Pattern Description:

The double top is a major reversal pattern that forms after an extended uptrend. The pattern is made up of two consecutive peaks that are roughly equal, with a moderate trough in-between. As illustrated below, a double top consists of two well-defined, sharp peaks at approximately the same price level. A double top occurs when prices are in an uptrend. Prices rise to a resistance level, retreat, return to the resistance level again before declining. The two peaks should be distinct and sharp. The pattern is complete when prices decline below the lowest low in the formation. The lowest low is called the confirmation point.

Is Paypal your pal?

2024-03-30 by Tim Straiton

After a long consolidation process, Paypal (PYPL) has now completed a golden cross formation and also made the third highest weekly close since September 2023 at $67. The 200 day moving average, now at $61.56, has started to rise. These factors suggest that further upside is on the cards.

The 14 day relative strength index is currently in overbought territory at 72% and may well provoke some short-term profit taking toward the 200 day moving average at $61.50 level, however as long as rising trendline support at $59 holds, one can assume that this stock can be traded from the long side.

Fibonacci retracement levels encasing the entire $299.79 to $52.04 range seen since July 2021 would set the initial upside 23.6% target level at $105.06.
