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.

Technical Review

A death cross activated on J.P Morgan

2026-03-28 by Tim Straiton

Over the past 4 years, J.P Morgan has exhibited outstanding performance, having risen from the October 2022 low of $101.76 and culminating in a high of $337.25 in January 2026. However, recent technical developments suggest that further downside pressure is becoming more likely. 

Last week's trading activity saw a death cross activated, while the daily MACD-V indicator has been flashing bearish divergence ever since the third quarter of 2025. The stock closed the week ending 27th March at $282.84 and just above the Fibonacci 23.6% retracement from the high. based on the entire range traded since October 2022. Focus is now directed toward the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level at $247 and thereafter to the 50% retracement level at $219.
