Actually, there are some problems with the bullish outcome. Double tops are usually followed by corrections of the type discussed earlier, meaning the stock is more likely to trade down to one of the percentile support points to complete the correction (as I posted earlier).
Sometimes, after a double peak, the stock will rally back up to a third peak about even with the other two, i.e., a triple peak. When this happens the market is telling you that you have one last chance to cash out before the correction because the most likely direction is down. Note that the second most likely direction is sideways - it can wander between 16.50 and low 18s until something causes the stock to break one way or the other. I tend not to favor this prediction because of the strong runup the stock has had without a correction since the mid 10s.
Notice that I've discussed three possible outcomes - up, down and sideways - and stated that the order of likelyhood is down, sideways and (least likely) up without a correction. There are other TA methods that should be checked since a conclusion should only be drawn as a consensus of several indicators. I really haven't checked volume - particularly up and down day volume. Other indicators to check are 50 day and 200 day moving averages, and Bollinger bands.
(Actually, I really don't understand Bollinger bands well enough. It is easy to see them on a graph with default values, but what is harder to understand is when the default values are invalid and the chart should be redrawn with different values.)
Also keep in mind that TA is useful over many trades, it is suppose to help more often than hurt and give you a better return over time. Shouldn't overly rely on it.
Tommorrow I'll post the section on the psychology of support and resistance - it makes fascinating reading!
Note to jhalada (hit my posting limit for the day): The hanging ending on that post was a word pun. I noticed that I was completing the post right at the time the site was scheduled to be down for maintenance, thus the pun.
