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.

Nvidia - From bull trend to no trend.

2025-08-21 by Tim Straiton

Nvidia closed on Tuesday 19th August at 175.64. The strong bull trend which started in early May 2025 appears to be showing signs of exhaustion as shown in the high value of the choppiness index (55) and also the relatively high value in the ATR/ Bollinger Bandwidth (33).

The Elasticity 2.0 trading system has continually generated profitable buy signals since early May 2025. The most recent buy signal on August 7th 2025 at 189.77 has a target exit at $194.77 and a stop loss at $171.36. It is currently showing a loss of 2.92%.

The 240 minute chart paints a rather negative picture with the rising trendline support level originating from April 2025 having been broken. The Chande Trendscore Indicator has turned bearish and the MACD-V indicator is about to rupture the Zero line to the downside.

It is too early to suggest that the bullish trend is Nvidia is history. Additional Fibonacci upside projection targets based on the recent $86.62 to 153.13 range traded between January and April 2025 are as follows:

$194.23 (61.8%)
$219.64 (100%)
$260.74 (161.8%)
