Please take a look at the 1-year chart of GG (Goldcorp, Inc.) below with my added notations:

1-year chart of GG (Goldcorp, Inc.)


After trending lower for most of the year, GG has formed what appears to be a Double Bottom (red) price pattern. The pattern is as simple as it sounds: Bottoming, rallying up to a point, selling back off to a similar bottom, and then rallying back up again. As with any price pattern, a confirmation of the pattern is needed. GG would confirm the pattern by breaking up through the $41 resistance (navy) that has been created by the Double Bottom pattern.

Keep in mind that simple is usually better. Had I never pointed out the Double Bottom pattern, one would still think this stock is moving higher if it simply broke through the $41 resistance level. In short, whether you noticed the pattern or not, the trade would still be the same: On the break above the key $41 level.

The Tale of the Tape: GG seems to have formed a Double Bottom price pattern. A long trade could be entered on a break above the $41 resistance with a stop placed under that level.
