Double Bottom pattern

A Double Bottom is a bullish reversal chart pattern shaped like a “W”: price makes a low, bounces, then retests a similar low before breaking out. It signals that sellers failed to push to new lows and buyers are taking over.

How the double bottom pattern forms

Two distinct troughs form at roughly the same price with a peak (the neckline) between them. The pattern completes when price closes above that neckline, ideally on rising volume.

How traders use the double bottom pattern

Traders enter on the neckline breakout, place a stop below the second low, and often target a move equal to the height from the lows to the neckline projected upward.

FAQ

Double Bottom — common questions

Is a double bottom bullish?

Yes — it is a classic bullish reversal. It is confirmed only when price breaks and holds above the neckline (the peak between the two lows); before that it is just a potential setup.

How reliable is the double bottom pattern?

It is one of the more dependable reversal patterns when the breakout is clean and volume-backed. See its historical follow-through rate above, and remember historical results don’t guarantee future moves.
