Definition
George Lindsay was a twentieth-century American stock-market analyst remembered for his work on market timing and complex price formations. His best-known contribution to chart pattern analysis is the three peaks and domed house, an intricate, multi-stage pattern that maps a long topping process.
His name persists in technical analysis less as a single indicator and more as a body of timing ideas, with the three-peaks-and-domed-house structure being the most widely catalogued.
Why it matters
How it works
The three peaks and domed house unfolds in numbered phases: a series of three peaks and intervening valleys, a separating decline, and then a rounded advance — the domed house — that builds toward a final high before a significant decline. Analysts label each point in sequence and watch for the structure to complete.
Because the pattern is long and detailed, it is prone to subjective reading. As with any complex formation, practitioners pair the count with confirmation signals, such as breaks of key support, before treating the projected reversal as actionable.
