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.

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.
