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.

Gold mining stocks on the retreat

2026-03-22 by Tim Straiton

Although gold is under considerable pressure, the outlook seems even worse for gold mining stocks. This development can be easily visualized by looking at the weekly gold to HUI ratio, which currently stands at 6.569 and getting very close to the falling 40 week moving average at 6.615.

Bullish divergence is detected on the 14 week relative strength index and also in the MACD-V indicator. Expect further weakness in gold stocks relative to the price of gold, with focus on the gold to HUI ratio rising toward the Fibonacci 61.8% retracement level of 8.17, based on the 9.88 to 5.40 range traded since February 2024.
