↪️WHAT IS A DOUBLE TOP?
A double top is an extremely bearish technical reversal pattern that forms after an asset reaches a high price two consecutive times with a moderate decline between the two highs. It is confirmed once the asset's price falls below a support level equal to the low between the two prior highs.

↪️KEY TAKEAWAYS
🔻Double tops are important technical analysis patterns used by traders.
🔻A double top has an 'M' shape and indicates a bearish reversal in trend.

↪️UNDERSTANDING DOUBLE TOPS
Double top patterns typically evolve over a longer period of time, and do not always present an ideal visual of a pattern because the shifts in prices don't necessarily resemble a clear "M". When reviewing the chart pattern, it is important for investors to note that the peaks and troughs do not have to reach the same points in order for the "M" pattern to appear.

↪️DOUBLE TOP PATTERN
A double top pattern is formed from two consecutive rounding tops. The first rounding top forms an upside-down U pattern. Rounding tops can often be an indicator for a bearish reversal as they often occur after an extended bullish rally. Double tops will have similar inferences. If a double top occurs, the second rounded top will usually be slightly below the first rounded tops peak indicating resistance and exhaustion. Double tops can be rare occurrences with their formation often indicating that investors are seeking to obtain final profits from a bullish trend. Double tops often lead to a bearish reversal in which traders can profit from selling the stock on a downtrend.

↪️LIMITATIONS OF DOUBLE TOPS
Double top formations are highly effective when identified correctly. However, they can be extremely detrimental when they are interpreted incorrectly. Therefore, one must be extremely careful and patient before jumping to conclusions.

↪️THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A DOUBLE TOP AND A FAILED DOUBLE TOP
There is indeed a significant difference between a double top and one that has failed. A real double top is an extremely bearish technical pattern which can lead to an extremely sharp decline in a stock or asset. However, it is essential to be patient and identify the critical support level to confirm a double top's identity. Basing a double top solely on the formation of two consecutive peaks could lead to a false reading and cause an early exit from a position.
