Down-Sloped Double Top on H4 Chart of EUR/USD

On a longer-term chart, this pattern might seem insignificant, but the four-hour chart is clearly showing a double top formation that gives a bearish signal to all TA-minded traders. It peaks the short-term correctional uptrend wave that has lasted since January 26. It is easy to see the additional confirmation for a downward trend restoration in the pair’s failure to set a new higher high after February 3 maximum.
You can see the pattern delimited with the yellow dash-lines. Only the bottom breakout will be considered for a trading signal. The cyan line shows a buffered entry level, while the green one is a target level for profit-taking. The high of the breakout candle will serve as the technical stop-loss in this trade.
