What is this pattern?

After an advance, two peaks form at about the same level. The low between them is the trigger; a close below it targets a move equal to the peak-to-trough height.

A close above the peaks invalidates the pattern.

This is not investment advice. Patterns describe probabilities; the same pattern can resolve differently. Levels use classic technical-analysis measuring rules.
