Profitable Patterns Double Bottoms and Tops: Reversals upon reversals

When you see a W or M pattern forming, you may have just discovered a money-making double bottom or double top pattern. These patterns are common reversal patterns used to suggest the current stock trend may be likely to shift.

But don’t panic if your double bottom or double top patterns do not develop as you had originally thought. You haven’t lost your chance for cash. If your W or M pattern reverses for a fourth time, you could now be working with the profitable triple bottom or triple top.

Double Bottom Pattern




Double Bottom Pattern
A small peak is surrounded by two equal troughs.


Purchase When:
• The price exceeds the middle-peak price.

Watch For:

• A price increase of 10% to 20% from the first trough to the middle peak.
• Two equal lows, not to differ by more than 3% or 4%.

Set Your Target Price:

For the double bottom pattern, sell your stock at a target price of:

• Entry price plus the pattern’s height (distance from the peak to the bottom of the lowest trough).

Double Top Pattern
