Chart Patterns - Home Profitable Patterns Triple and Double Bottoms and Tops: Reversals upon reversals When you see a W or M pattern forming, you may have just discovered a money-making double bottom or double top pattern.

But don’t panic if your double bottom or double top patterns do not develop as you had originally thought. You haven’t lost your chance for cash.
