W Formation Chart Pattern
Description
The W Formation, also known as the Double Bottom, is a longer term pattern, which generally marks the end of a bear run. Prices work down to a new low, then retreat to a high. The prices then move back to a price point near the previous low, and then retreat again, above the high which occurred between the 2 lows which formed the W Bottom Formation. This indicates a reversal of the price movement and the beginning of a bull move.
