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.

General Motors - Time to take profits?

2026-01-05 by Tim Straiton

General Motors Company is an American multinational automotive manufacturing company headquartered in Detroit, Michigan, United States. The company is most known for owning and manufacturing four automobile brands: Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac, each a separate division of GM. By total sales, it has continuously been the largest automaker in the United States, and was the largest in the world for 77 years before losing the title to Toyota in 2008. The current price of GM as of 2nd January 2026 is $81.32 and well above its 40 week rising moving average of 58.63.

Although the performance of this stock has been outstanding over the past two years, the technical picture suggests that we are entering a phase of bullish exhaustion. The choppiness index stands around the panic area of 30 and the MACD-V indicator is at +204, the highest level for the past 5 years. The 14 week relative strength index is at an overbought level of 82%. The Fibonacci 38.2% upside projection target price of $87.41, based on the $ 14.325 to $67.21 range traded between March 2020 and January 2022 can be regarded as an excellent level to take profits on long positions.
