I hope you guys have read my last blog on chart patterns. Here, I'm explaining a very particular "continuation pattern" which also has a high winning probability in the real-time market, make sure you read the whole blog, cause at the end, I'm gonna tell you about a stock which is forming the same pattern. According, to the pattern it has probabilities that it might go up by 30% in the time span of 1-2 month.
Basically, I'm talking about the Cup & handle pattern, It's a continuation pattern which is generally seen in the real-time market.
What's it?
The Cup with Handle is a bullish continuation pattern that marks a consolidation period followed by a breakout.
As its name implies, there are two parts to the pattern: the cup and the handle. The cup forms after an advance and looks like a bowl or rounding bottom. As the cup is completed, a trading range develops on the right-hand side and the handle is formed. A subsequent breakout from the handle's trading range signals a continuation of the prior advance.
How it's gonna work?
Now I'm gonna break this pattern in several points and describe it in layman manner.
Trend: To qualify as a continuation pattern, a prior trend should be in an uptrend. Ideally, the trend should be a few months old and not too mature.
Cup: The cup should be “U” shaped and resemble a bowl or rounding bottom. A “V” shaped bottom would be considered too sharp of a reversal to qualify. The softer “U” shape ensures that the cup is a consolidation pattern with valid support at the bottom of the “U”. The perfect pattern would have equal highs on both sides of the cup, but this is not always the case.
Handle: After the higher forms on the right side of the cup, there is a pullback that forms the handle. Sometimes this handle resembles a flag or pennant that slopes downward, other times it is just a short pullback. The handle represents the final consolidation/pullback before the big breakout and can retrace up to 1/3 of the cup's advance, but usually not more. The smaller the retracement, the more bullish the formation and significant the breakout. Sometimes it is prudent to wait for a break above the resistance line established by the highs of the cup.
Duration: The cup can extend from 1 to 6 months, sometimes longer on weekly charts. The handle can be from 1 week to many weeks and ideally completes within 1-4 weeks.
Volume: There should be a substantial increase in volume on the breakout above the handle's resistance.
Target: The projected advance after breakout can be estimated by measuring the distance from the right peak of the cup to the bottom of the cup.
