Triple Top

Triple Top
In technical analysis, a situation in which a security peaks at roughly the same price three times in a relatively short period. That is, the price peaks and then drops back down, which is then repeated twice. Technical analysts consider a triple top a bullish signal if the price continues to rise following the third peak. However, if the price drops significantly after the third peak, it is seen as a bearish indicator.

If the stock price or index fails on the third attempt and pulls back, it is a bearish signal. Compare triple bottom.
