Chart Patterns

Double Top

Pattern Description:

The double top is a major reversal pattern that forms after an extended uptrend. The pattern is made up of two consecutive peaks that are roughly equal, with a moderate trough in-between. As illustrated below, a double top consists of two well-defined, sharp peaks at approximately the same price level. A double top occurs when prices are in an uptrend. Prices rise to a resistance level, retreat, return to the resistance level again before declining. The two peaks should be distinct and sharp. The pattern is complete when prices decline below the lowest low in the formation. The lowest low is called the confirmation point.

A Death Cross for Carnival Corp.

2024-04-20 by Tim Straiton

Carnival Corp. was the second best performer in the S&P 500 after Nvidia in July 2023, however the company seems to be cruising into darker waters right now. The stock is currently running into oversold territory with the 14 day relative strength index at 32%.

Rising trendline support comes in at 13.18. A death cross  formation has been established with the 200 day moving average now trending downward. It would probably be worth using any upside correction to liquidate long positions. Holders of this stock should be aware that a break of $13 would put focus on the $11 area.
