Applying it in real markets
The majors — BTC, ETH, SOL and BNB — are the cleanest place to practice double top & double bottom because they're the most liquid and least manipulated. Mark up a chart, journal what you see, and review it against the points above.
No single concept is a complete edge. Combine it with sound risk management — fixed risk per trade, a defined stop, and a planned reward-to-risk — before you act on it.
Key takeaways
- Two rejections at the same zone
