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

Palladium - still testing downside potential.

2025-08-28 by Tim Straiton

The current price of Palladium at the time of writing is $1091. The short-term trend shows continued downside pressure with focus on the Fibonacci 61.8% retracement level of $1053, based on the recent $1337 to $881 range traded since April 2025. The daily MACD-V indicator value of -46 remains in negative territory and is trending to the downside.

The monthly chart, however paints a more constructive picture with the $826 level acting as strong support. The MACD-V indicator, although still in negative territory, is trending upwards. Long positioning should be delayed until we see clear signs of stability on the daily chart, such as bullish divergence on the relative strength index.
