Classic Cup & Handle Breakout & Re-testVery simple - a classic cup and handle formation, already confirmed and re-testing a breakout:
- has already broken out of the handle forming a 2nd smaller cup
- and since broken above and held above the weekly cup's neckline
It has held above for several weeks and is now re-testing that neckline.
Targets are TP 1 and 2, measured from the length of the bottom of cup to its neckline, from its neckline up (TP 1) and then a half length above that (TP 2).
Conditions for hitting take profit targets are:
A.) holding the neckline or
B.) a weekly candle close with a pullback below that quickly reclaims it in the following week or so.

AMZN solid earnings high volume for 10 months Cup and HandleAMZN has risen lately above the lip of the cup of the pattern on this 4H chart. The pattern
suggests $ 50 USD upside or 35% beyond present price. The chart shows the buying coming
in once price reached a rounded bottom an began an uptrend. Earnings beats have been
significant especially compared with the miss a year ago. AMZN is like the massive river with
branches feeding the volume of the river's depth and breadth downstream. Its dominance
and resilience is impeccable like others in the titans of tech. Price is now in the ascending
bullish continuation portion of the handle. I see this as a setup for a long swing stock trade
as AMZN heads into the next earnings. Another long play is call options in five weeks at
$ 156 or six months expiration at $176 strike which is the head and shoulders pattern of 2021.
