How to Trade Double Tops and Double Bottoms

When a double top or double bottom pattern appears on a chart, it signals the beginning of a trend reversal.

In this guide, we’ll explain how to spot these chart patterns and trade them effectively.

Double Top Pattern

A double top is a reversal pattern that occurs after a strong upward movement in the market. It is formed when the price reaches a certain level, creates a peak, and then fails to break past that same level.

Here’s how it works:

  1. The price rises and reaches a peak or “top.”
  2. After hitting this peak, the price drops slightly but eventually rises again to test that same level.
  3. If the price hits the same level a second time and fails to break above it, then a double top has formed.

Identifying the Double Top on a Chart

In the example chart above, you can see two distinct peaks or “tops” formed after a sharp upward movement. Notice that the second peak didn’t manage to surpass the high of the first peak. This is a strong indication that the upward momentum is running out, suggesting that a reversal is about to happen.

Once a double top is formed, the ideal time to enter a trade is when the price breaks below the neckline (the level connecting the lowest points between the two peaks). This breakout signals that the uptrend is reversing and the price is likely to move lower.

Breakdown of the Double Top

Once the price breaks through the neckline, we often see a significant downward move, confirming the reversal. If we look closely at the chart, we notice that the drop after the neckline break is roughly equal in size to the height of the double top formation. This is helpful when setting profit targets because it suggests how far the price might fall.

Remember, double tops are trend reversal patterns, and they usually appear after a strong uptrend. The drop following the formation often mirrors the size of the double top, so keep this in mind as you set your profit expectations.

Double Bottom Pattern

The double bottom is another trend reversal formation, but this time, we are looking for an opportunity to go long (buy) instead of short (sell). The double bottom pattern typically occurs after an extended downtrend, signaling that the selling pressure is losing momentum.

Here’s how it works:

  1. After a prolonged downtrend, the price forms two valleys or “bottoms” because it can’t break below a certain level.
  2. The second bottom is unable to drop significantly lower than the first bottom.
  3. This shows that the selling pressure is nearly finished, and a trend reversal is imminent.

Identifying the Double Bottom on a Chart

In the example above, you can see two valleys, or “bottoms,” created by the price after a downtrend. The second bottom doesn’t break below the first, indicating that the bears (sellers) are losing control. This signals that a bullish reversal is on the way, and it’s a good time to enter a long position (buy).

Just like with the double top, the formation of a double bottom marks the end of a downtrend. The price usually moves up after the second bottom is formed, and traders can look to profit from the reversal.

In both the double top and double bottom patterns, the key takeaway is that these formations signal a shift in market sentiment—either from bullish to bearish or bearish to bullish. Recognizing these patterns early on can help you make informed trading decisions, entering positions at the right time for maximum profit.
