A decline follows to a relative low of 37,611.56 (neckline) in the week of April 19, 2024.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">The subsequent rally brings the Dow Jones back to a top of 40,077.40 (Peak 2) &#8211; note that it&#8217;s not exactly the same price, but the distance is reasonable. Moreover, the negative weekly close on May 24 confirms there was resistance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">But what happens next?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">Price drops toward the neckline but never breaks it to the downside, and the American index starts a rally that lasts for months. Zero bearish signals. No double top, no sequence of lower highs and lower lows: the uptrend remains intact.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00a0<\/h3>\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Real Double Top (December 2024 &#8211; January 2025)<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">The rally stops in the week of December 5, 2024, where we identify another peak (Peak 1) at 45,073.63. Prices fail to go higher and retrace to 41,884.89 (week of January 17, 2025), which becomes the neckline.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">A rally follows up to 45,045.36 in the week of January 31, 2025 (Peak 2, practically perfect at the same level as Peak 1). Prices get rejected and break the neckline to the downside.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">At the weekly close below the neckline, we finally have a confirmed double top.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\"><strong>Critical attention<\/strong>: timeframe is everything. You don&#8217;t call a double top on the weekly chart if price closes below the neckline on Monday&#8230; you need to wait for Friday&#8217;s close.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00a0<\/h3>\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Target Calculation<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">The minimum target of the double top is calculated as follows:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\"><strong>H (pattern height) = Peak &#8211; Neckline<\/strong> H = 45,073.63 &#8211; 41,884.89 = <strong>3,188.74 points<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\"><strong>Minimum target = Neckline break point &#8211; H<\/strong> Target = 41,884.89 &#8211; 3,188.74 = <strong>38,696.15<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">This is the pattern&#8217;s minimum target.

There was a substantial technical reason: the breakout candle had a substantial lower shadow, signaling buying at the lows, and price leaned on the 50-period weekly moving average (MA50W) for two consecutive weeks before the final violent breakdown.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">This chart teaches us how important it is to <strong>focus on what the main signal is<\/strong>: the double top or the MA50 holding?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">In these cases, I always prefer trading the formation of lower lows (neckline break, confirmed fact) rather than a hypothetical MA50W hold. If we hadn&#8217;t entered at the neckline break and had waited for the MA50W break, we would have missed the trade.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">But it wouldn&#8217;t have been wrong either to skip trading the double top: first for failing to break MA50, and then for having already reached the target once the MA50W was actually broken.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">On Which Charts Does the Double Top Work?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">All of them. The psychological principle behind it is the same: indices, forex, commodities, and even cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div id=\"attachment_298\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/round-robin.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Pattern-Spotted-DoubleTop-EUR-USD.png\" data-lbwps-width=\"1888\" data-lbwps-height=\"896\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"https:\/\/round-robin.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Pattern-Spotted-DoubleTop-EUR-USD-300x142.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-298\" class=\"size-large wp-image-298\" src=\"https:\/\/round-robin.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Pattern-Spotted-DoubleTop-EUR-USD-1024x486.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/round-robin.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Pattern-Spotted-DoubleTop-EUR-USD-1024x486.png 1024w, https:\/\/round-robin.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Pattern-Spotted-DoubleTop-EUR-USD-300x142.png 300w, https:\/\/round-robin.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Pattern-Spotted-DoubleTop-EUR-USD-768x364.png 768w, https:\/\/round-robin.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Pattern-Spotted-DoubleTop-EUR-USD-1536x729.png 1536w, https:\/\/round-robin.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Pattern-Spotted-DoubleTop-EUR-USD.png 1888w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-298\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">chart: EUR\/USD Double Top spotted&lt;<\/p><\/div>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<div id=\"attachment_301\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/round-robin.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Pattern-Spotted-DoubleTop-Bitcoin.png\" data-lbwps-width=\"1888\" data-lbwps-height=\"896\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"https:\/\/round-robin.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Pattern-Spotted-DoubleTop-Bitcoin-300x142.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-301\" class=\"wp-image-301 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/round-robin.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Pattern-Spotted-DoubleTop-Bitcoin-1024x486.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/round-robin.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Pattern-Spotted-DoubleTop-Bitcoin-1024x486.png 1024w, https:\/\/round-robin.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Pattern-Spotted-DoubleTop-Bitcoin-300x142.png 300w, https:\/\/round-robin.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Pattern-Spotted-DoubleTop-Bitcoin-768x364.png 768w, https:\/\/round-robin.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Pattern-Spotted-DoubleTop-Bitcoin-1536x729.png 1536w, https:\/\/round-robin.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Pattern-Spotted-DoubleTop-Bitcoin.png 1888w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-301\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">chart: Bitcoin (BTC\/USD) Double Top Spotted<\/p><\/div>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">On Which Timeframes?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">All of them, but you must not make the mistake of confusing and mixing timeframes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">Practical example: I have a short-term bearish bias, I see a double top on the 15-minute that reaches target.
