The triple bottom works like the double bottom. The only difference is that it tests the support three times and breaks the resistance line on the complete of the third peak at the bottom.
It is a strong bullish reversal pattern that normally forms after a long down trend. Its formation signals a probable bullish reversal in trend.
It forms three bottoms arranged almost at the same level. The highs and lows can be joined with a line to mark support and resistance levels.

The resistance level commonly referred to as the neckline acts as the trigger line for the confirmation and entry-level in the direction of the reversal breakout. It is drawn by joining the highs of the first and second bottoms of the pattern.
