Teaching: Double Bottom Pattern

Take you through one of the strongest reversal structures. The double bottom is a clear signal that a downtrend has been broken. This is an ideal opportunity to establish a heavy long position near the start of a new market cycle.

What it looks like on the chart:
1. First bottom: Price drops sharply on high trading volume. Panic spreads, and retail investors panic-sell their holdings. The price finds support and rebounds upward, forming a local resistance level (neckline).
2. Second bottom: The big players push the price down again. Most people think the previous low will be broken and start shorting frantically. But the sellers are actually out of stock. The price bounces off support and reverses.

What’s the logic?
Large funds need liquidity to complete the reversal. The second bottom is deliberately drawn to shake out early buyers and lure new shorts into the market. The spring is compressed. Once the price breaks above the neckline, it will start hunting for shorts aggressively, directly pushing the price higher.

How to operate?
- Entry: Only enter after the price confidently breaks above the neckline. It’s best to wait for a volume-driven, bullish candle closing above the neckline.
- Stop loss: Must be placed below the second (right-side) bottom. Strict risk control to protect your capital and prevent being played by the big players.
- Take profit: Measure the height from the lowest point to the neckline. Project the same distance upward from the breakout point. That will be our final target.

Core principle:
Don’t try to guess the bottom or catch falling knives. Be patient and wait for the pattern to complete and the resistance level to be confirmed as broken. Only then can we decisively enter the market.
