One of the most powerful chart features is the doubletop. Even more powerful is the triple top patterns. These patterns show long termconsistentresistance and serve the push the market down. A double top is bearish. A triple top is even more bearish.
The DOW has a well-established and testedtriple top pattern. Reactions away from this resistance level have caused the DOW to become trapped in asidewayspattern for most of 2018. The period included a substantial dip below the lower edge of the trading and in December 2018.
Currently the DOW isagaintesting this triple top resistancepattern with a move towards 26600. There is a high probability of a retreat from this resistance level and a continuation of the sideways trading pattern.
But, conversely, a breakout above this well-established resistance level is very bullish because it shows the market has the strengthtoovercome this long-term resistance. The tradingband is used to set an upsidetarget. The width of the band ismeasured, and the value is projected above the resistance level. This gives a target near 29700.
Traders are ready to go short, but only if there isconfirmationof a retreat from resistance. Traders will go long if there is a substantial weekly close above the resistance level that has, to date, acted the triple top pattern.
