What the double bottom is
Two lows at the same level, then a break above the peak between them.
Jump on a trampoline and you sink to the same low spot twice, but the second push sends you higher than before. A double bottom looks like the letter W: two lows at the same level with a hill between them. When price climbs above that hill, the W is complete.
