What the double top is
Two peaks at the same height, then a break below the dip between them.
Imagine climbing a wall, slipping back, then reaching the same spot again before sliding down even further. A double top looks like the letter M: two peaks at the same height with a dip between them. When price falls below that dip, the M is complete.
