Topping patterns are part of the market. They are the normal cycle of business that begins with a new product or service, grows and expands as the product or service becomes popular, and then contracts as that product or service reaches market saturation where those who would buy it already own it. These cycles repeat over and over and are why tops and bottoms continually occur in the stock market. In addition every technical pattern is tied back to either fundamentals or to technical trading techniques.
