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.

The 14 week relative strength index is at 66% after having reached the 73% level in early April 2025. The MACD-V weekly reading of 202 suggests that this ratio is running into overbought territory and is a warning that downside retracement is a possibility with focus on the rising 40 week moving average at 89.54.
