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.

Minimizing risk in trading

by Tim Straiton

Paul Tudor Jones, the legendary trader stated that financial markets trend only 15 percent of the time. The rest of the time they move sideways.

Coeur Mining - a gold mining stock to watch

2025-08-09 by Tim Straiton

Coeur Mining (CDE) from $360 in May 1987 to $1.62 (March 2016)

This Chicago based gold mining company operates five mines located in North America. Coeur employs 2,200 people and in 2012 was the world's 9th largest silver producer. Coeur Mining is a typical example of a neglected and undervalued gold mining stock. The company quarterly financials are impressive. Revenue of $360 M (+69% Y/Y). Net income 33.5M (+214% Y/Y). The current price is $11.65 and trading well above the rising 200 day moving average of 7.03.

The bullish divergence captured on the MACD-V indicator which became apparent between 2010 and 2015 on the monthly chart suggests that more upside potential lies ahead.

On the daily chart a buy signal was triggered on the super trend indicator in April 2025 at $6.22 and remains valid with a ratchet stop loss level now at $10.05.
