Chart Patterns

Triple Bottom (and Top)

Also called: triple top

A reversal pattern where price tests the same support level three times and holds, signaling sellers are exhausted before a breakout.

Schematic of a triple bottom (and top) — illustrative geometry, not a live price chart.

A triple bottom is a stretched double bottom: three distinct dips to roughly the same support level, each bounce failing to make a new low. The repeated defense of one floor shows persistent demand and fading selling pressure. The resistance connecting the bounce highs is the neckline.

Confirmation comes on a close above the neckline, ideally on expanding volume, with a target of the pattern's height projected up. Its mirror, the triple top, tests one resistance level three times and breaks down — a bearish reversal.

On StockSetups

StockSetups detects multi-test bases like triple bottoms long-only; when one clears its neckline the signal moves into the 'broke out' lane with the levels drawn, while a triple top is filtered off the bullish board.
