double bottoms definition - finance
A
chart pattern of price movements that shows a resistance to falling prices.
This pattern reflects a period of falling prices followed by a period of rising
prices. That pattern is repeated a second time to create what looks like twin
bottoms on a price chart. Despite the decline, prices canÂ’t break lower as
there is strong support for prices to remain above a minimum level. Technical
analysts say that double bottoms indicate a reversal of pricing trends because
they indicate that although prices tried to move lower, they were unable to do
so, and the next price move will be upward. A double bottom is the inverse of a
double top.
