A double top is a bearish technical reversal pattern. It is not as easy to spot as one would think because there needs to be a confirmation with a break below support. While a double top is a bearish signal, a double bottom is a bearish signal. Top tops usually have an upswing, initial peak, trough, second peak, and neckline. Investors can short trade after the break or place small trades, as double tops may have limited profit potential.
