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.

Could A 'Transaction Tax' Be A Good Thing?

by Lance Roberts
Summary Over the years, I've heard from several clients who have had trouble disciplining themselves from trading too frequently. Free trading may save you money on trading costs, but if it causes you to trade rashly, your returns may suffer. As a fiscal conservative, I'm not too fond of taxes of any sort.

Platinum /US$ - Current technical assessment

2025-06-07 by Tim Straiton

On the 28th May 2025, we addressed the potential for a sharp rise in volatility in the platinum market. Since then platinum has jumped almost 200 dollars within the space of fifteen days and closed the week (6th June 2025) at $1169. Although the overall picture is bullish, FOMO disease is slowly rearing its ugly head as can be observed with the 14 week relative strength index at over 70% and the distance of the current price from the 40 week moving average at 16%.

The high in March 2022 of 1179 was followed by a sharp decline in September 2022 to the $829 level and there is no guarantee that a similar movement will not take place again.The weekly MACD-V level of 56 is close to similar extreme levels seen on a number of occasions since January 2023. The Fibonacci 23.6% retracement from the high based on the $1336 to $558 range traded since March 2020 comes in at $1152.

The Gold to Platinum ratio has fallen sharply to 2.83 from a recent high of 3.56 and is now below its 200 day moving average of 2.9370. It is not yet apparent if the bull market in platinum will continue with the same recent dynamic thrust, however the short term outlook appears over-extended.
