KEY TAKEAWAYS A triple top is formed by three peaks moving into the same area, with pullbacks in between. A triple top is considered complete, indicating a further price slide, once the price moves below pattern support. A trader exits longs or enters shorts when the triple top completes. If trading the pattern, a stop loss can be placed above resistance (peaks). The estimated downside target for the pattern is the height of the pattern subtracted from the breakout point.
