Double top definition

Double top is a technical analysis term. Double top on a chart is when a security reaches a "top", then retraces back some, then re-tests the top the second time. Some investors/traders will sell during the second top expecting that the stock will have difficult time breaking through double top.

If the double top does not hold and the stock continues to go up, many will interpret that as a bullish buy signal.
