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.

Is this apple turning sour?

2026-06-05 by Tim Straiton

“Biting into a sour apple” symbolises making decisions that are unpleasant but necessary. In this context it may well be the time for holders of Apple stock to consider hedging their positions. The stock closed at $311.23 on June 4th 20216.

A number of technical warning signs of momentum exhaustion are emerging. The MACD-V indicator is starting to roll over from a relatively high level. The 14 day relative strength index is at 66.5%, having broken its upward trendline.  

The 61.8% Fibonacci upside projection target based on the 243.42 to 288.62 range traded between 3rd December 2025 and the 21st Jan 2026 comes in at $316.55 which is close to the recent high of $316.94.
