Double Top

GBP/USD Double-Top FormingHi Traders, We are on GBP/USD 1-Hour We can see we have a double-top forming. I have highlighted the neck zone in yellow. I would like to see the price close below the neck zone accompanied by strong volume. The break of this neck zone would also confirm a break of the trend line. I will then set a pending order to open up a short position. We have partial divergence on the MACD Histogram but not on the MA Lines. Entry Rules – 1) Price needs to close below the neck zone with conviction 2 )Price needs to retrace to the neck zone. 3) We need lower volume upon entry. If those three conditions are met, then I will open a short position targeting 1.334 and then 1.3317. Good luck to everyone trading today. Trade safe. Vortex

How to Find Legitimate Double Tops & Double BottomsHey Guys! I just wanted to post a quick tutorial on how to find legitimate double tops and bottoms. In this lesson, I explain the 4 rules that a double top/bottom must abide for it to be legitimate. So for example: For a legitimate double bottom: #1 The 2nd bottom's price must reach the 1st bottom's wick low price level. #2 The 2nd bottom's price cannot close past the 1st bottom's wick low price level. #3 There must at least be a 10 candle range between the the bottoms. (including the 2 bottom's candles) #4 The prior trend must be in the opposing direction. (which is down in the case of a double bottom) That's it! I hope this helps! Have a great day! Ken

BTC-D1-REVERSAL IN PROGRESS...GLOBAL PICTURE DAILY (D1) After having reached, yesterday, an intraday high @ 35'332 and nearly achieved a full Fibonacci retracement (former high @ 45'850), the BTC lost momentum and as a result, closed slightly above the middle of the previous white candle which mean, that yesterday's price action, roughly triggered a DARK CLOUD COVER (Bearish warning signal); today's ongoing downside price action is currently confirming this downward selling pressure and a DAILY CLOSING BELOW 43'000 would weigh further on the BTC and therefore open the door for lower levels. Daily clouds area is between 42'524 and 39'093 RSI still above 50, @ 57.93 LAGGING LINE failed to enter in the daily clouds and is in progress to reverse too. The MID BOLLINGER BAND, my own barometer,is currently @ 40'825 and also roughly in the middle of the daily clouds support; this level should be watch at very carefully as a daily closing below this point. would directly put the focus towards the daily clouds bottom around the 39'000 level. WEEKLY (W1) A quick look at the weekly char shows , for the time being a failure to breakout the weekly top clouds resistance area ! Watch the clouds in this time frame as a broad indicator for further development. 4 HOURS (H4) DOUBLE TOP FORMATION IN PROGRESS , coupled with a double doji and a RSI BEARISH DIVERGENCE !!! Trigger level @ 43'220 Technical target (in case of downside breakout confirmed) @ 41'108 Interesting to note that the H4 Kijun-Sen is @ 41'174 and should also be seen as a PIVOT LEVEL in this H4 time frame 1 HOUR (H1) As for H4, a double top formation is in progress. Currently, already, below : 1) Kijun-Sen 2) Mid Bollinger Band 3) Tenkan-Sen 4) the clouds The double top target @ 41'108, coincides also roughly with the H1 clouds bottom support @ 41'241; the 50 % Fibonacci retracement of the 37'015-45'332 recent rally is @ 41'173 LAGGING LINE below TS and KS but still above the clouds.

AUDCAD | Perspective for the new weekThe scope of a very strong bearish momentum on the daily time frame and a reversal set-up (double top) within the major supply zone at C$0.92400 shares a confluence with the bearish trendline to signal a selling opportunity for us in the coming week(s). Tendency: Downtrend (Bearish) Structure: Supply & Demand | Trendline | Reversal pattern (Double Top) Observation: i. Despite a long term bearish momentum identified on the higher time frame, the last 30 days witnessed a consistent rise in the value of the Aussie over the Canadian dollar but the momentum appears to be thinning out and this can be identified on the chart as a double top structure. ii. Attempts made by buyers to break above C$0.924 was met with strong resistance during last week's trading session to insinuate that the bullish trendline may no longer be strong enough to hold price action above it. iii. It is worthy to note here that, the reversal set-up (double to pattern) awaits confirmation at the breakdown of key level @ C$0.91600 to incite the risk of a decline in price value in the coming week(s). iv. In this regard, I shall be waiting to take advantage of selling the Aussie anywhere below the key level @ C$0.916000... Trade consciously!😊 Trading plan: SELL confirmation with a minimum potential profit of 200 pips.

The Great Retrace Nasdaq Futures Standard Fib Pull from ATH to Covid Low PA sitting at .382 fib level and the POC of the entire range . Loss of the .382 and we descend to the levels below , alternatively we stay within the current range inside the descending channel . I have marked an area of resistance for a potential short if the opportunity presents itself where Its possible we continue to reject off of the 50EMA and print a LH and continue with the bearish MS. Trade the range and take it level by level , for now support has done its job so set an alert and trade the reaction . Know your Invalidation and trade your Plan ! Like And Follow

GBP/NZD Double Top in Play as RBNZ Hikes RatesThe New Zealand Dollar gained after the RBNZ raised interest rates to 1% form 0.75% in February. On the 4-hour chart, GBP/NZD confirmed a close under a bearish Double Top I have been closely following since last week: www.dailyfx.com This may hint at reversing the uptrend from November, with immediate support as the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement at 1.9890. Other levels below include 50%, 61.8% and 78.6% at 1.9691, 1.9492 and 1.9208 respectively. Overturning the bearish projection entails a confirmatory close above the 2.0487 - 2.0535 resistance zone.

SP500 shaking on the news 🦐SP500 after the doubletop over the monthly trendline at the 4800 melt to the support. The market reacted at the support area and tested twice the resistance area at the 4590 level creating another reversal. Furthermore, the market reacted to our beloved 0.618 Fibonacci level of the previous impulse. How can we approach this scenario? We will monitor the market during the day and if e Plancton's Academy rules will be satisfied we will set a nice short order. –––– Follow the Shrimp 🦐 Keep in mind. • 🟣 Purple structure -> Monthly structure. • 🔴 Red structure -> Weekly structure. • 🔵 Blue structure -> Daily structure. • 🟡 Yellow structure -> 4h structure. • ⚫️ Black structure -> >4h structure.

Education Post: Double TopBTC has been bearish over the last week or so, but why? On the chart you can see I've attached a photo of a double top pattern, which is exactly what BTC has formed and played out the last couple of days. There's not much to say about this pattern as it's self explanatory. Looking at patterns is a really good way to predict future price movement as you can see this pattern played out exactly like the photo. You can google these patterns as there are loads of them. Now looking at the chart there's not a lot we can use to infer where BTC will move next, however the RSI is becoming oversold on D1 and is moving towards its support line. I'm looking for a small bounce here but I'll need to do some more analysis tomorrow which I will share. Hope this post helped:) Trade safely
