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. As the stock comes up to test the old highs, the stock will incur selling pressure by the people who bought at or near the old high. 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.

Elasticity Toolkit

The Elasticity toolkit was created to obtain maximum gains in both sideways and trending markets with minimum risk. Developed by Timothy Straiton, the system performs with incredible results in almost all equity markets with a daily periodicity.

One could visualize the action of a rubber band being stretched and at the moment where the expansion loses momentum, a contraction takes place, forcing movement in the opposite direction. The Elasticity system opens a trade at the moment that deviation from the mean price loses momentum.

Technical Review

Royal Bank of Canada - the air is getting thin up here.

2026-01-23 by Tim Straiton

Current price is $168.86 and 15% above its 40 week moving average. There are a number of reasons why one should look to secure profits on long positions here.

The weekly choppiness index at 33 suggests that a bout of panic buying or short covering has recently taken place. Furthermore, the  MACD-V level of +224 stands at a multi-year high. The Fibonacci 78.6% upside projection target of $174.32, based on the $49.55 to $119.41 range traded between March 2020 and January 2022 has recently been reached and rejected.
