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.

Broadcom - a remarkable change in sentiment.

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.
