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

Silver - A surge in volatility to be reckoned with

2025-06-03 by Tim Straiton

The current level at the time of writing is $39.37. Silver has remained lacking in trend direction over the past 12 months as can be seen in the low weekly Bollinger Bandwidth reading of 14.08. The overall technical picture remains bullish with the current price well above the rising 40 week moving average at $31.68. The 14 week relative strength index is currently at 57% and is poised to break above the falling year old trendline.

 A weekly close above $35 could well ignite volatility and put focus on the following Fibonacci upside projection targets measured over the 11.62 to 29.83 range traded between March and August 2020.

  • 38.2% = $36.90
  • 50% = $39.05
  • 61.8% = $41.20
  • 78.6% = 44.26
  • 100% = $48.15
  • 161.8% =$59.41

Looking at the weekly Gold to Silver ratio, it appears that the Fibonacci 61.8% retracement level of 103 measured over the 62.05 to 128.31 range is acting as strong resistance. The falling MACD-V reading of 80 also points to the building of downside pressure on the ratio and thus strength building up in the silver market.
