Investopedia explains 'Top'
Security prices and economic cycles commonly move in trends, following an upward trend for a time before reversing and moving downwards for a period. The point at which a trend reversal switches from an upward to a downward one is referred to as the top. Short- to medium-term traders like to sell at or near the top before the downward trend begins.
