Introduction:

In this analysis, we are looking at Illinois Tool Works Inc. (ITW) on the NYSE, a noteworthy name in the industrials sector. The weekly chart suggests a possible bullish continuation in the form of a classic Cup and Handle pattern that has been forming for the past 608 days.

Cup and Handle Pattern:

The Cup and Handle is a bullish continuation or reversal pattern that depicts a teacup with a handle on the right side. It's characterized by a rounded bottom followed by a minor pullback, forming the handle.

Analysis:

The previous trend for ITW was upward, which was interrupted by a consolidation phase that materialized as a Cup and Handle pattern, potentially indicating a continuation of the bullish trend. The so-called "lip" or the horizontal resistance of the pattern is at 248.68.

The price is well above the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA), underlining our bullish sentiment. As we observe the current candle's behavior, it appears that we might achieve a close above the lip. A successful candle closure above this resistance could pave the way for a long position.

Conclusion:

In the event of a successful breakout, the price target would be projected at 515.51, corresponding to an estimated rise of about 30%.
