Chart Patterns

Double Top

Pattern Description:

The double top is a major reversal pattern that forms after an extended uptrend. The pattern is made up of two consecutive peaks that are roughly equal, with a moderate trough in-between. As illustrated below, a double top consists of two well-defined, sharp peaks at approximately the same price level. A double top occurs when prices are in an uptrend. Prices rise to a resistance level, retreat, return to the resistance level again before declining. The two peaks should be distinct and sharp. The pattern is complete when prices decline below the lowest low in the formation. The lowest low is called the confirmation point.

Detecting deterministic dynamics in stock prices

by Tim Straiton
It may appear odd to many investors, but stocks that are less volatile than their counterparts have historically produced comparable or better returns. However our analysis of stocks which display long periods of deterministic dynamics perform much better than those which tend to trend sideways over long periods.

Technical Review

Coeur Mining - a gold mining stock to watch

2025-08-09 by Tim Straiton

Coeur Mining (CDE) from $360 in May 1987 to $1.62 (March 2016)

This Chicago based gold mining company operates five mines located in North America. Coeur employs 2,200 people and in 2012  was the world's 9th largest silver producer. Coeur Mining is a typical example of a neglected and undervalued gold mining stock. The company quarterly financials are impressive. Revenue of $360 M (+69% Y/Y). Net income 33.5M (+214% Y/Y). The current price is $11.65 and trading well above the rising 200 day moving average of 7.03.

The bullish divergence captured on the MACD-V indicator which became apparent between 2010 and 2015 on the monthly chart suggests that more upside potential lies ahead.

 

On the daily chart a buy signal was triggered on the super trend indicator in April 2025 at $6.22 and remains valid with a ratchet stop loss level now at $10.05.
