In this <span class=\"scayt-misspell\">CBA<\/span> example, the &ldquo;Double Top&rdquo; is a bearish reversal pattern and is identified by two peaks of similar height, followed by a break below the level of the recent recorded support line. In this example, the daily graph has held to a relatively strong uptrend that originated from $49.00 (i), back on <span class=\"scayt-misspell\">1st<\/span> <span class=\"scayt-misspell\">June&rsquo;2012<\/span>. Recording its first peak at $58.00 (ii), on 31 July&rsquo; 2012, the price fell and respectively held at $56.00 (iii).<\/p>\n<p>\n\tStaging another strong advance, the price re-challenged $58.00 (iv), and after the third candle day a rejection has now been confirmed. In essence, if this is a true &ldquo;double top&rdquo; pattern then the immediate target holds towards $56.00. This level is the key to this formation. The measured breakout holds vertically from the highest peak to the support line. From the break you then measure the projection which gives you an objective of $54.00 (v).<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<br \/>\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fnarena.com\/ckfinder\/userfiles\/images\/0_6_CBA.jpg\" style=\"width: 620px;height: 223px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\n\t<em>Rob Clayton &ndash; Senior Technical Analyst &ndash; has been providing technical analysis on Foreign Exchange, Futures, and Interest Rate products for the past 21 years.
