Chart Patterns

Cup and Handle

Pattern Description:

The Cup and Handle is a bullish continuation pattern that marks a consolidation period followed by a breakout. The cup is in the shape of a "U" and the handle has a slight downward drift.

US/CHF - A US Dollar recovery now likely

2024-09-23 by Tim Straiton

The current price at the time of writing is 0.8501 and 3.6% below the falling 200 day moving average at 0.8810.

The 14 period relative strength index on the daily chart reveals bullish divergence, while the MACD_V indicator is in recovery mode. The Bollinger bandwidth is unusually narrow and suggests that a rise in volatility is on the cards.

Fibonacci retracement levels based on the recent 0.9224 to 0.8374 range suggest upside targets from the low of 0.8699 (38.2%) and then 0.8899 (61.8%).
