Technical Analysis -- Episode 13: Double bottom pattern

 Source: Tiger Trade app Source: Tiger Trade app

The double bottom pattern, also known as the "W" pattern, is a technical formation characterized by two nearby or equal low points on the price chart of a stock or other asset, forming a shape resembling the letter "W."

The Double Bottom Pattern suggests a potential price reversal and an opportunity for an uptrend.

Key characteristics of the Double Bottom Pattern include:

  1. Two low points: The Double Bottom Pattern consists of two low points, typically located at relatively close price levels, forming a relatively flat bottom area.

  2. Intermediate high point: There may be an intermediate high point between the two low points, with its price usually higher than the previous low point but lower than the overall trend's resistance level.

  3. Resistance line: The straight line connecting the two high points is called the resistance line, representing the resistance level above the price. When the price breaks above this resistance line, it may serve as a buy signal, indicating a potential uptrend.

  4. Trading volume: Observing changes in trading volume is also crucial. During the formation of the second low point, trading volume tends to decrease, suggesting a gradual reduction in selling pressure.

You can use the Double Bottom Pattern to identify potential buying opportunities. Generally, when the price breaks above the resistance line, it may serve as a buy signal, indicating a potential uptrend.

Here's an example of the Double Bottom Pattern:

Tesla Inc. (TSLA) - A clear Double Bottom Pattern was observed between October and December 2016. When the price trend broke above the resistance line, the Double Bottom Pattern was confirmed, and the stock price began to rise.

After understanding the knowledge of the double bottom pattern, you should also pay attention to the following aspects:

  1. Confirm the formation: Ensure that there are two nearby or equal low points forming the "W" shape on the price chart, and the price starts to rise after the second low point.

  2. Trading volume: Observe the trading volume during the formation of the second low point and the price uptrend. Higher trading volume can provide stronger confirmation signals.

  3. Breakout: Watch whether the price can break above the resistance line of the Double Bottom Pattern. A breakout above the resistance line may be a signal for further uptrend.

  4. Target price: Based on the height of the Double Bottom Pattern and the location of the breakout point, you can estimate the target level for future prices.

  5. Validate with other indicators: Combine other technical indicators and trend confirmation tools, such as moving averages, Relative Strength Index (RSI), etc., to confirm the validity of the Double Bottom Pattern.

In summary, when using the Double Bottom Pattern as a trading reference, it is crucial to combine it with other technical indicators and trends for comprehensive analysis, and also to implement timely stop-loss and risk management.
