The current setup presents a classic cup-and-handle pattern, visually resembling the shape of a "Cuphead" character. This structure typically indicates a bullish continuation, as it forms after a period of consolidation within a broader uptrend.
Cup Formation:
Left Side of Cup: The pattern began after a pullback from recent highs, creating the initial drop and rounding bottom, representing the "body" of the cup (or "Cuphead's" round head). Base of Cup: The support level at the bottom is significant, where volume likely decreased, indicating seller exhaustion and setting a strong foundation. Right Side of Cup: Price begins to rise again, completing the rounded shape and signaling a renewed bullish sentiment as buyers regain control.
Handle Formation:
Handle Decline: The handle forms as a slight pullback from the right side of the cup, usually about one-third of the cup's height. It indicates a final consolidation before a breakout and serves as "Cuphead’s" handle. Handle Length: The handle length should not exceed half the cup's height, as longer handles might signify weakening bullish momentum. Volume Analysis: Look for decreasing volume during the handle formation, indicating weaker selling pressure, with an increase in volume as the breakout starts.
Breakout & Price Targeting:
Entry and Confirmation: A breakout above the handle’s resistance confirms entry into a long position, with a volume surge as buyers push the price upward. Price Targets: First Take Profit: At 100% profit, calculated based on the initial entry price and set to secure gains once the target is reached. Second Take Profit at Cycle Highs: For further gains, the final target is set at cycle highs, leveraging the bullish momentum and trend continuation.
Risk Management:
Stop-Loss Placement: A conservative stop-loss can be set slightly below the handle’s low to protect against unexpected reversals while allowing some room for price fluctuations. Trend Monitoring: Keep an eye on volume and candlestick patterns post-breakout to ensure continued bullish momentum, adjusting stops accordingly to lock in profits.
