Double Tops
This is a reversal silver trading pattern that forms after an extended upwards silver trend. As its name implies, this formation is made up of 2 consecutive peaks that are roughly equal, with a moderate trough between.
This formation is considered complete once xagusd trading price makes the second peak & then penetrates the lowest point between the highs, called the neck line. The sell silver signal from this formation occurs when the xagusd trading market breaks below the neck-line.
In Silver, this formation is used as a early warning trading signal that a bullish silver trend is about to reverse. However, it is only confirmed once the neckline is broken and the xagusd trading market moves below the neckline. Neckline is just another name for last support level formed on the Silver chart.
