A double bottom is a major reversal pattern that occurs after an extended downtrend. It resembles the letter "W" and shows two distinct lows reaching a similar level.
The pattern is confirmed when the price breaks above the "neckline" (the peak between the two bottoms). Many traders wait for a retest of the neckline before entering.
The first bottom indicates that buyers are stepping in at a support level. The second bottom confirms that the support is holding and that sellers are exhausted, marking a transition from bearish to bullish.
