This indicator is designed to detect and plot Double Tops and Double Bottoms, by setting the initial high or low using standard pivot points.
Double Tops
A Double Top is a bearish reversal pattern, typically found when an uptrend returns back to a prior peak. It signifies a potential turning point or resistance level and could potentially reverse in direction.
The pattern is confirmed as a Double Top when the price breaks above the resistance level, but closes below it. A decisive close below this level is seen as a confirmation of the bearish trend.
Double Bottoms
A Double Bottom, on the other hand, is a bullish reversal pattern typically found after a downtrend. It signals a potential turning point or support level where the price has bottomed and could potentially reverse upwards.
The pattern is confirmed as a Double Bottom when the price breaks below the support level, but closes above it. A decisive close above this level is viewed as a confirmation of the bullish trend.
