Selected Chart Pattern

Triple Top

A triple top is used to predict the reversal of a prolonged uptrend. This pattern is identified when the price of an asset creates three peaks at nearly the same price level. The three consecutive tops make this pattern visually similar to the head and shoulders pattern but, in this case, the middle peak is nearly equal to the other peaks rather than being higher. A break below support on high volume after the three tops have been formed is a reversal confirmation.
