A 1-minute lesson from the MarketPro academy, one of 22 in chart patterns.

Short answer

Triple top and triple bottom patterns extend the double top/bottom concept to three tests of the same resistance or support area instead of two, reflecting an even more prolonged struggle between buyers and sellers at that level. A triple top forms three roughly equal peaks with pullbacks in between, while a triple bottom forms three roughly equal troughs with bounces in between.

A triple top forms three roughly equal peaks with pullbacks in between, while a triple bottom forms three roughly equal troughs with bounces in between. In both cases, the pattern is confirmed only once price breaks decisively through the level connecting the pullback or bounce points.

More tests, more significance: Because the level is tested three times rather than two, a subsequent break is often viewed as more meaningful than a single or double test would suggest.
Time factor: Triple patterns typically take longer to form than double patterns, since they require an additional full swing.
Volume: Diminishing volume on each successive test toward the level is often watched as a sign of weakening pressure in that direction.

As with double patterns, the repeated tests do not guarantee the eventual breakout direction, and price can continue to range between the levels well beyond three touches before any resolution occurs.
