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. The right-hand side of the pattern has low trading volume. It can be as short as seven weeks and as long as 65 weeks.

This selling pressure will make the stock price trade sideways with a tendency towards a downtrend for four days to four weeks... then it takes off.

The current level as of 17th October 2025 is 81.94. This level coincides exactly with the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement from the high, based on the entire 112.45 to 32.60 range traded since March 2011.

The monthly stochastic momentum index currently finds itself at an extremely low level and is about to reverse to the upside. These technical observations suggest that the ratio could soon begin a correction to the upside and possibly target the 93 area.
