Triple Top

Triple Top

The Triple Top is a bearish reversal pattern that signifies a potential shift from an uptrend to a downtrend. It is characterized by three peaks at roughly the same price level, separated by two troughs. This pattern suggests that the asset's price is encountering strong resistance and may reverse direction after reaching the third peak.

Formation

1. **First Top**: The price rises to a new high, forming the first top. 2. **Trough**: After reaching the first top, the price declines to form a trough. 3. **Second Top**: The price rises again to a level similar to the first top, forming the second top. 4. **Trough**: The price declines once more, forming a second trough. 5. **Third Top**: The price rises again to a level similar to the first and second tops, forming the third top. 6. **Breakdown**: A breakdown below the level of the trough between the second and third tops confirms the pattern.

Trading Strategy

  • **Entry Point**: Enter a sell position once the price breaks below the trough between the second and third tops.
  • **Stop-Loss**: Place a stop-loss order above the third top to manage potential losses if the pattern fails.
  • **Profit Target**: Measure the distance from the peaks to the trough and subtract this distance from the breakdown point to set the profit target.
