Double Top
Double tops are identified
as two peaks failing to break the same level of resistance. The target is
measured vertically from the highest point to the bottom of the trough
between the two peeks. It is then projected down from the break of the
neckline.
Triple Top
Triple tops are identified
as three peeks failing to break the same level of resistance. The
target is measured vertically from the highest point to the bottom of the
trough between the three peeks. It is then projected down from the break of
the neckline.
For obvious reasons this
is often called an "M-top" The market is failing twice at a resistance
and is reversing then sharply. A break of the support would indicate further
losses towards the target that can be evaluated through the following
procedure. The vertical width of the "M" (price difference) is projected
downwards from the breakpoint of the support. The opposite of this reversal
formation occurs on a bottom - W-bottom
