Double Bottom or W bottom
A double bottom is one of the most recognizable chart patterns. It typically resembles a "W" and forms after a downtrend. A double bottom forms as part of a consolidation process, in which one group of traders is liquidating a position as another group is accumulating. Typically, the left side of the W is formed as part of a larger downtrend. Once that low is set, the stock bounces higher before coming back to retest the first low. If the retest is successful, the chart begins to look like a "W". Once the "W" is formed, the stock must clear the neckline, which is typically in line with the center peak of the "W". It is important to note that a double bottom is not valid until the price closes above the neckline.
The entry point to buy is at the time price breaks the neck line.
