Triple Bottom Reversal
The triple bottom reversal pattern has three roughly equal lows and indicates an opportunity to take a bullish position. Before the triple bottom occurs, the bears are usually in control of the market, forming a prolonged downtrend. The first bottom does not indicate anything out of the ordinary. Still, the second and third bottoms show a change in direction where buyers (bulls) may push the price action higher after the price breaks through the resistance.
As with other reversal patterns, there should be an existing trend – a current downward trend in this case. The three bottoms should be nearly equal in size and have sufficient space between them. There should be a clear indication of a drop in volume leading into the pattern and an increase in volume on the advance and at the resistance break. Finally, the price should break through the resistance level, which is at the highest point of the highs present between the bottoms.
