"Cup and Handle" is a continuation pattern that usually forms in bullish markets.
Most "Cup and Handle" patterns are very reliable and offer great trading opportunities.
"Cup" formation is developed during price rallies from the round bottom.
The "Handle" part forms due to a price correction before a clear breakout to the upside.
Trading "Cup and Handle" pattern is a two fold process. First a "Handle" can be traded as a corrective pattern and secondly as a continuation pattern (of the prior trend) after a breakout from the top of the "Cup".
The handle part (right side) usually corrects about 25% to 38% (in our chart we correct 35%).
After the correction (handle), the pattern will pick its prior trend and trade in a breakout fashion above the 'top' of the 'Cup'.
Trade: The best trading opportunity is generated when the price clears the top of the "Cup." A "long" trade is entered when the price closes above the high of the cup.
Target: Most "Cup & Handle" patterns result from 62% to 100% the depth of the "Cup" from
the breakout levels.
