The double bottom is the opposite of the double top and is considered to be a major reversal chart pattern after a strong down trending market. The trading pattern is formed by two bottoms that are almost similar in height with a neckline (temporary high) in between. The pattern is confirmed on a sustained break of the neckline.

Forex Double Bottom Trading Ideas
Conservative forex traders: wait for a
sustained break of the neckline (breaking temporary resistance).
Aggressive forex traders: buy in the vicinity of the second bottom. Look for bullish reversal
candlestick patterns to enter a low risk - high reward trade.
Tip: In case you have missed the double bottom price breakout - After the sustained break, a small retracement back to the neckline is very common.
