Double tops and bottoms are trend reversal patterns they start with a trend that pushes into resistance or support then retraces After price retraces then the opposite party comes in and attempts to push price back into the direction of the overall trend but with no success in breaking the previous high or low. The double top is a bearish reversal pattern and the double bottom is a bullish reversal pattern.Once price breaks the neckline set by the swing high or low you could anticipate a measured move from the top or bottom to the neckline added to the breakout.
