Clarification needed: Double top

Hai,

[I'm learning about technical analysis]
I've attached the chart of Satyam computers.

1. Has it formed a double top? (From its expected growth I dont think its price will decrease...but technical analysis tells so...)
2. Can double top form in a short duration? (like around 40 days in this case)

Good questions

It does look like a double top, but the volumes are shrinking on declines, which means it could well be a consolidation, rather than reversal

Meanwhile , see this linkhttp://www.chartfilter.com/reports/c32d.htm

the example here shows a double top spanning just a few weeks ... so 40 days is defy not a short duration

By the way in recent weeks lots of scrips would have gone into such patterns (many cement stocks for instance) but v few would be undergoing reversals
