On October 15, the Hong Kong SAR government welcomed the Legislative Councils passage of the Road Traffic (Amendment) (Online Ride-hailing Services) Ordinance 2025. This marks a significant milestone in introducing a regulatory framework for online ride-hailing services, aiming to provide citizens with safer, more reliable, and personalized point-to-point transportation. The ordinance introduces a regulatory framework for online ride-hailing services, requiring all parties involved—platforms, vehicles, and drivers—to obtain licenses or permits. Platforms holding online ride-hailing service licenses must maintain appropriate and efficient services and conduct due diligence on their vehicles and drivers. The ordinance requires online ride-hailing vehicles to carry appropriate third-party insurance, meet age and vehicle inspection requirements, and adhere to the "person-vehicle binding" requirement—meaning that vehicles must be registered in the name of an individual and driven by the registered owner to provide online ride-hailing services. Online ride-hailing drivers must be at least 21 years old, have no serious traffic convictions within the past five years, and pass relevant assessments. The ordinance also strengthens penalties and regulations for illegal passenger transportation for reward.Brazilian President Lula: Brazil and the United States will hold negotiation talks tomorrow.On October 15th, ECB board member Nagel stated that there is currently no reason to adjust interest rates, warning that certain inflation components still require vigilance. While services inflation remains "stubborn," consumer prices are generally close to the ECBs 2% target. "Unless something new emerges, I dont see any reason to change policy." ECB officials generally believe that current monetary policy is well-positioned. Most believe that while inflation may fall slightly below target over the next two years, it is generally anchored around 2%, and the eurozone economy has largely withstood the impact of US tariffs. Some officials believe that further rate cuts should not be completely ruled out.

What is a Double Bottom?

A double bottom pattern is a technical analysis charting pattern that describes a change in trend and a momentum reversal from prior leading price action. It describes the drop of a stock or index, a rebound, another drop to the same or similar level as the original drop, and finally another rebound. The double bottom looks like the letter "W". The twice-touched low is considered a support level.


The double bottom chart pattern is found at the end of a downtrend and resembles the letter "W"(see chart below). 


Price falls to a new low and then rallies slightly higher before returning to the new low. Unable to push price to a new lower low to continue the downtrend, sellers give up and price bounces sharply from this area.The bullish confirmation is specified by a break in the key price level situated at the high point between the ‘bottoms’ resistance level (neckline).

Similarly, the double top pattern reciprocates the double bottom pattern signaling a bearish reversal. Instead of the confirmation being shown at a break in the key resistance level, the double top occurs at the key support lows between the two high points. The double bottom and double top patterns are powerful technical tools used by traders in major financial markets including forex.


The double bottom is frequently used in the forex/gold and equity markets as buy/bullish signals. 


For example

1. Gold

The gold price trend in the first half of this year perfectly presented the  double bottom pattern.

W底英文2.png

As shown in the figure, since January 2021, the price of gold has continued to fall.It fell to a new low (point A) near $1,67.75 in March, then rebounded slightly from the low point, and then fell back to a level close to the last low of $1,699.75 (point B).


This example shows the neckline break confirmation entry signal whereby the price closes above the neckline which will then indicate a long entry.The highlighted candle in the image above clearly closes above the neckline after some resistance, indicating a stronger push by bulls to push the price up.


As shown in the figure below, after breaking through $1,800 per ounce in April (C point), gold has risen all the way. In June, the price of gold regained $1,900.

2. USD/SGD

As shown in the figure below, observing the USD/SGD price trend weekly chart, you can see that the bottom of W has also been formed.

Investors can observe the USD/SGD price trend in the market outlook and judge what happens to the price after the end of “W”.


3. Gas


As shown in the figure below, observe the weekly chart of natural gas price trends, and the“ W” will be formed around May 2020.


The first price low was at point A, around $1.58, then the price rebounded to point B, at $2.06, and then again fell back to point C near the last low of $1.58.


After the price successfully broke the neckline (point B) at $2.06, the price of natural gas continue to rise.

How to identify a double bottom pattern?

1. Identify the two distinct bottoms of similar width and height.

2. Distance between bottoms should not be too small - time frame dependent.

3. Confirm neckline/resistance price level.

4. Use other technical indicators to support double bottom bullish signal such as moving averages and oscillators.

5. Be wary of trading against strong trends.


It is important to note that trading against a strong downward trend should be approached with caution even with a double bottom formation. Convincing supporting factors should be aligned and confirmed before entering the market. Even with these factors, proper risk management is essential in any trade to avoid excessive losses.
