Double Bottom Pattern

A double bottom is a bullish reversal pattern where price drops to a support level, bounces, then holds that same level on a second test, forming two troughs at a similar low. It often marks the end of a downtrend.

What the Double Bottom pattern means

Two successful defenses of the same support show sellers losing their grip. The pattern is confirmed only when price breaks above the resistance set by the bounce between the lows, which is where buyers take control.

How the Double Bottom is traded

  • Confirm with a close above the middle resistance (the neckline) before entering.
  • The target is roughly the height of the pattern projected up from the break.
  • Stop goes below the second trough.
  • Strongest when the two lows are close in price with a clear bounce between them.

Common mistakes

  • Buying the second low before resistance breaks.
  • Trading a double bottom that formed without a real prior downtrend.
