How to identify it
- Find a first peak that is narrow and sharp (Adam).
- Find a second peak near the same level that is wider and rounded (Eve).
- Bearish bias often appears after a close below the low between the peaks.
When the read is wrong
Invalid if price closes clearly above both peaks.
Common mistakes
- Treating any double top as Adam and Eve. The two peaks must clearly differ in shape.
- Calling it before support breaks, when it is only two highs.
