Triple bottom
bullish · reversal pattern
A triple-bottom is the bullish symmetric of triple-top: three troughs at approximately the same level with volume declining on each test, confirmed by a close above the connecting high.
Formation rules
- Three troughs at the same level
- Declining volume on each retest
- Confirmation: close above connecting high
How to trade it
Buy confirmed breakout. Stop below the third trough. Measured target = peak-to-trough height projected above breakout.
Common pitfalls
- Patterns that take longer than 6 months can morph into rounding bottoms — both bullish but with different entries
Statistical context
Reliability comparable to double-bottoms when volume profile confirms.
