Description of a stock's price movement if it reaches, on two different occasions, the same high price. For example, on two occasions in the past year or so, a stock rose to 42. Technical analysts see the double-top price as a resistance level. Hence, a subsequent rise above this price is a sign of a continued rise in price.

OBS

The term [double top] can also be expanded such as triple top, and so on.

Lorsqu'un graphique prend la forme d'un M, c'est-à-dire qu'une action a essayé par deux fois consécutives de percer en hausse sans succès, c'est qu'il y a résistance à ce niveau. Cela constitue généralement le signal d'un mouvement à la baisse. En effet, les individus s'empresseront de vendre au deuxième sommet, croyant avoir perdu une occasion de vente au premier.

In the late 1930s, the theory was advanced that it is impossible to predict future movements of securities prices because too many variables affect price movements. However, it was observed that bond prices tended to move in the opposite direction to common stock prices. Thus a plan was evolved by which the investor automatically sold stocks and bought bonds when stock prices rose and vice versa when stock prices fell. This plan was first called the cyclical switch.

Vers la fin des années 1930 est apparue la théorie selon laquelle il était impossible de prédire les fluctuations du cours des valeurs en raison du grand nombre de facteurs qui les provoquaient. Toutefois, on a remarqué que dans la plupart des cas le cours des obligations et des débentures semblaient fluctuer à l'inverse du cours des actions ordinaires. Selon cette théorie, pour obtenir de bons résultats, il suffisait de vendre des actions et d'acheter des obligations quand les cours des actions montaient et faire le contraire quand ils tombaient. Cette théorie fut d'abord baptisée «arbitrage cyclique de portefeuille.»
