Why it works

Sellers failed twice at the same price. The break of the middle high confirms buyers have taken control.

How to use it

Buy the close above the middle high (or its retest), stop below the second bottom, target at least the height of the pattern.

The typical mistake

Buying the second bottom too early: two equal lows are also a liquidity pool that may get swept.
