Learn How to Trade Cup and Handle (rare but profitable pattern)☕
If you are studying a price action, you should definitely know Cup and Handle formation.
Being applied properly, it can generate big profits.
In this educational article, I will teach you how to identify this pattern. We will discuss its psychology and I will share with you 2 trading strategies.
📏And let's start with the structure of the pattern.
The pattern has 3 important elements:
Cup - long-term correctional movement that tends to move steadily from a bearish trend to a bullish trend.
Handle - short-term correctional movement with signs of bullish strength.
Neckline - upper horizontal boundary of the pattern - a strong resistance that the price constantly respects.
⚠️Being formed, it warns you about a highly probable coming bullish movement.
The trigger that confirms the initiation of a bullish wave is a breakout of the neckline of the pattern and a candle close above.
Here is the example of a completed C&H with a confirmed neckline breakout, indicating a highly probably coming bullish movement.
Depending on the preceding price action, Cup & Handle Pattern can either be a trend-following or reversal pattern.
📉If the pattern is formed after a bearish impulse. It is considered to be a reversal pattern.
Here is the example of a reversal C&H that I spotted on EURUSD.
📈If the pattern is formed at the top of a bullish impulse, it is considered to be a trend following pattern.
Here is the example of a trend following C&H that I spotted on GBPJPY Index.
The thing is that while the price forms the C&H, buying volumes are accumulating. Even though, buyers are hesitant and reluctant initially, their confidence grows, and the accumulation leads to explosive neckline breakout.
There are 2 strategies to trade this pattern.
✔️Strategy 1.
That approach is quite risky, but the reward can be quite substantial.
You should monitor the price action when the price is forming a handle. Occasionally, the price starts trading in a falling channel: parallel or contracting one.
Your trigger will be a bullish breakout of its resistance and a candle close above.
Once the violation is confirmed, you can buy aggressively or set a buy limit order on a retest.
Stop loss will lie below the lows of the channel.
Target will be the closest key resistance.
Here is the example of the handle being a falling channel.
📍Strategy 2.
Wait for a breakout of a neckline of the pattern.
Once a candle closes above that, it will confirm the violation.
Buy the market aggressively or set a buy limit on a retest of a broken neckline then.
Stop loss will lie below the lows of the handle.
Target will be the closest key resistance.
Here is the example of the trade based on a confirmed breakout of a neckline of C&P on NASDAQ Index.
Applied properly, the strategies may reach up to 70% win rate.
As always, the best pattern will be the one that forms on a key level.
Try it, test it, and good luck in your trading journey.

Double Pattern MoveThis is an updated idea of my previous post where I discovered a cup & handle pattern. However, on a relook I noticed that there is a double pattern formation. It can be seen in this post that a ascending triangle pattern is engulfing a cup & handle pattern, both signaling an upmove.
Cup & Handle BreakoutDespite the market performing sluggish and out of sync with other indexes viz Nifty, Bank Nifty & Fin Nifty, this classical Cup & Handle pattern formed which subtly broke out giving an upmove for the trend continuation. Patterns are your best bet when nothing else gives confirmation!
TSLA Cup & Handle Bullish ContinuationTSLA as shown on the 60 minute chart has been in a cup and handle since the last earnings
report. Trading volumes increased then and the print is a gradual downtrend reversed to a
gradual uptrend then the handle formation and finally the breakout above the lip of the cup.
TSLA and Ford this week announced collaboration on a charging network primarily with Ford
customers getting use on existing TSLA stations and both companies expanding the network.
Perhaps this mutually benefits both companies. China holding interest rates and perhaps
lowering them more easily allows financing of new Telsas in TSLA's biggest market. Based
on the technicals about the cup and handle and the height of the cup. the pattern which has
good reliability predicts bullish continuation of $40 upside. In consideration of this I will
take a trade of an additional 2 contracts ( strike $180 Exp mid November).

Cup and Handle Breakout by 2025?: Bitcoin, Gold and Silver ReadyThrough meticulous analysis, the three charts displayed side by side present a captivating comparison between silver ( TVC:SILVER XAGUSD), gold ( TVC:GOLD XAUUSD), and Bitcoin ( BNC:BLX BTCUSD). Spanning from the 1970s to the present day, these charts provide a comprehensive view of the remarkable journeys undertaken by these assets.
The first two charts depict the price movements of silver and gold over the course of five decades, while the third chart illustrates the relatively short but remarkable trajectory of Bitcoin since its inception in 2010. What immediately catches the eye is the astonishing pace at which Bitcoin has achieved in just 13 years, what took silver and gold a staggering 53 years to accomplish.
However, the most striking aspect that commands attention is the unmistakable presence of a colossal "cup and handle" pattern, poised to complete its formation within the next two to four years. This pattern has been dissected into five distinct phases, revealing intriguing similarities across all three commodities.
1/ The initial phase witnessed a rapid surge in prices for all three assets, setting the stage for what was to come.
2/This was followed by a minor correction before another sharp increase in price.
3/ Subsequently, a prolonged period of slow and gradual correction ensued, testing the patience of investors.
4/ However, this was eventually followed by a steady bull phase, characterized by sustained upward momentum.
5/ As the cycle neared completion, another corrective phase emerged, followed by a steady rise once again. (Note: This phase is marked by a smaller cup and handle forming within the larger cup and handle, with completion at around the same time).
The question that naturally arises is: what lies ahead? Will there be a breakout to the upside after the completion of the cup and handle formation, expected to materialize within the next two to three years? The simultaneous indication of such a breakout across all three commodities is undeniably intriguing and warrants further exploration.
Furthermore, as we examine the intriguing cup and handle formations across silver, gold, and Bitcoin, it is crucial to take into account the profound shifts occurring in the global economic landscape. The traditional dominance of the petrodollar is facing significant challenges, with emerging trends indicating a potential end to its reign. BRICS nations, for instance, are increasingly engaging in domestic currency transactions, bypassing the need for the U.S. dollar as a medium of exchange.
The advent of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) across numerous nations have introduced a new dimension to the evolving financial ecosystem. As these digital currencies gain traction, they have the potential to reshape the dynamics of international trade and cross-border transactions. This transition towards CBDCs further underscores the changing paradigm of global finance.
However, it is important to acknowledge the mounting tensions and conflicts that permeate the geopolitical arena. Wars, both physical and cyber, as well as potential hacking scandals between nations, have the capacity to disrupt and fracture the fabric of the current economic climate. These events have the potential to cause significant fluctuations in financial markets, including the prices of silver, gold, and Bitcoin.
When analyzing the broader financial and economic landscape, it is essential to consider the interplay between political developments, economic policies, technological advancements, and market dynamics. Geopolitical shifts and power realignments among nations can have far-reaching implications for asset valuations and investor sentiment.
In conclusion, as we explore the cup and handle formations in silver, gold, and Bitcoin, we must recognize the wider context of global transformations. The potential demise of the petrodollar, the growing influence of domestic currency transactions among BRICS nations, the rise of CBDCs, and the geopolitical tensions reshaping the world order are all factors that can significantly impact the future trajectory of these commodities. It is within this intricate interplay of forces that we seek to discern the catalysts that will drive potential breakouts and subsequent price movements. As the global economic landscape continues to evolve, adaptability and astute analysis remain essential for navigating the uncertainties and seizing opportunities in the ever-changing financial markets.

Investing in cryptocurrencies carries risks, so do your homework and make informed decisions. Remember, no crystal balls here—just a pinch of insight and a dash of caution

BTC 1h Inverse Cup and Handle breaking last month's VPVR POCInversed Cup and Handle is a very strong bearish reversal pattern. I should have noticed earlier, but I do my own analysis and was looking for something else while this cup was being spilled in my lap.
Why am I posting this late, then?
Well, there is one crucial thing left on this chart. And that is that this pattern has a target price target of 27600, which is below the POC (Point Of Control) on VPVR in the last month, and it is currently retesting it after a breakout.
VPVR POC shows the line of the most significant volume per price level based on the candles shown on the chart at any given moment, which means that it is the most substantial S/R level in this indicator. And as you can see, there is quite a gap below 28k.
So if this pattern breaks POC without significant volume from the bulls, we could retest the 25k level, where the next serious resistance is.
Grab a Cup of Coffee We'll Handle ThisA cup and handle formation is a technical pattern that can be found in financial charts. It is considered a bullish pattern, meaning that it may indicate a potential opportunity for a price increase.
The pattern is named after its resemblance to a cup with a handle. The cup portion of the pattern is created when the price of an asset forms a rounded bottom over a period of time, followed by a pullback that forms the handle. The handle is usually a smaller, downward-sloping price movement that retraces a portion of the cup's advance.
Traders often look for a cup and handle formation as a signal that the price of an asset may be poised to break out to the upside. However, it's important to note that technical patterns are not foolproof and should be considered in conjunction with other forms of analysis.
If you have identified a cup and handle formation in a chart and believe it may be an opportunity, it's a good idea to confirm your analysis with other indicators or signals before making any trading decisions. Additionally, it's important to always practice proper risk management and consider factors such as your investment goals, time horizon, and overall market conditions.
There she blows! Bitcoin Bulls continue to shock the doubters!Traders,
The Cup and Handle pattern that I had drawn a few weeks ago and anticipated might play out, is, in fact, doing so. We have our neckline break here. Now, all we need is two or three closes above that neckline on the daily and it's off to $35-39k. But not before a pitstop at 30k at which point I may trade around a bit. You all know where to follow my trades.
Best,
Stew
GOLD CUP & HANDLEI would write a bunch of nonsense here including how the MAVS are lining up and RSI is blah blah blah, but if youve traded before a day in your life you understand what it is you are looking at and for the reasons why its happening, well:
US DOLLAR = TRASH
GOLD = UP
CUP & HANDLE = TRADE IT GENIUS

Stellar Lumens Coffee Cup pattern on the Weekly chart - see the handle of the coffee cup? Once break it on the weekly, it has to close above $0.175 US and than it can do 10x - believe it reach $1.75 US, instead of the $0.82 US last high. Now it can bottom out 1 more time till about April 23 around $0.0676 US, the last bottom on the weekly was $0.07 US and believe it has bottom out. You can wait or DCA now. I believe it's still a very good buy now, trying to work out the perfect bottom forget it. On Weekly Stellar Lumens can still be bearish around June 23rd however for that case it going up slowly till it breakouts
