Triple Top

Pattern Description:

The three consecutive tops make this pattern visually similar to the head and shoulders pattern but, in this case, the middle peak is nearly equal to the other peaks rather than being higher. A break below support on high volume after the three tops have been formed is a reversal confirmation.

Broadcom - a remarkable change in sentiment.

2026-04-16 by Tim Straiton

Broadcom Inc.(AVGO) is an American multinational designer, developer, manufacturer, and global supplier of a wide range of semiconductor and infrastructure software products. Broadcom's product offerings serve the data center, networking, software, broadband, wireless, storage, and industrial markets.This stock isn’t cheap, trading at a forward P/E of 33.41x against a group average of 22.84x. It holds strong positions with major AI players (Google, Meta, OpenAI), which is supportive for the stock price.

The current technical view reveals a strong case of FOMO. The previous six daily closes landed all above the upside Bollinger band, the 14 day relative strength index is at an overbought level of 77% and the choppiness index is at an extreme low level of 29. A phase of bullish exhaustion could well be close at hand.
