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.

Apple- Buy the dip?

2025-10-13 by Tim Straiton

After having broken above its 200 day moving average in August 2025, Apple has performed extremely well, culminating in a high of $259 in early October. The stock is well above its rising 200 day moving average of $222.

Last week's price action has seen channel support broken both in the price and also in the MACD-V and the money flow index. For those brave operators attempting to buy the dip, make sure a protective stop is in place.
