What is a Double Bottom?
A double bottom is a chart pattern that signals a possible change from a downtrend to an uptrend. Picture it like the letter “W,” the price falls, bounces up, falls again to a similar level, and then rises. This shows that the sellers tried twice to push prices lower but couldn’t break past a support level. The second rebound often attracts buyers, increasing demand and kicking off a new uptrend.
For you, spotting a double bottom can help identify when a stock is ready to recover after a tough period. It’s most reliable when confirmed by increased trading volume and when prices break above the middle resistance line, the “neckline”.
