CUP AND HANDLE "EXPLAINED" ON APEUSDTWelcome for today's analysis which i will be covering "CUP AND HANDLE" formation What Is a Cup and Handle? A cup and handle price pattern on a security's price chart is a technical indicator that resembles a cup with a handle, where the cup is in the shape of a "u" and the handle has a slight downward drift. The cup and handle is considered a bullish signal, with the right-hand side of the pattern typically experiencing lower trading volume. The pattern's formation may be as short as seven weeks or as long as 65 weeks. KEY TAKEAWAYS A cup and handle is a technical chart pattern that resembles a cup and handle where the cup is in the shape of a "u" and the handle has a slight downward drift. A cup and handle is considered a bullish signal extending an uptrend, and it is used to spot opportunities to go long. Technical traders using this indicator should place a stop buy order slightly above the upper trendline of the handle part of the pattern. As a crypto is forming this pattern tests old highs, it is likely to incur selling pressure from investors who previously bought at those levels; selling pressure is likely to make price consolidate with a tendency toward a downtrend trend for a period of four days to four weeks, before advancing higher. A cup and handle is considered a bullish continuation pattern and is used to identify buying opportunities. It is worth considering the following when detecting cup and handle patterns: Length: Generally, cups with longer and more "U" shaped bottoms provide a stronger signal. Avoid cups with sharp "V" bottoms. Depth: Ideally, the cup should not be overly deep. Avoid handles that are overly deep also, as handles should form in the top half of the cup pattern. Volume: Volume should decrease as prices decline and remain lower than average in the base of the bowl; it should then increase when the stock begins to make its move higher, back up to test the previous high. A retest of previous resistance is not required to touch or come within several ticks of the old high; however, the further the top of the handle is away from the highs, the more significant the breakout needs to be. The image above depicts a classic cup and handle formation. Place a stop buy order slightly above the upper trend line of the handle. Order execution should only occur if the price breaks the pattern’s resistance. Traders may experience excess slippage and enter a false breakout using an aggressive entry. Alternatively, wait for the price to close above the upper trend line of the handle, subsequently place a limit order slightly below the pattern’s breakout level, attempting to get an execution if the price retraces. There is a risk of missing the trade if the price continues to advance and does not pull back. A profit target is determined by measuring the distance between the bottom of the cup and the pattern’s breakout level and extending that distance upward from the breakout. For example, if the distance between the bottom of the cup and handle breakout level is 20 points, a profit target is placed 20 points above the pattern's handle. Stop-loss orders may be placed either below the handle or below the cup depending on the trader’s risk tolerance and market volatility. What Does a Cup and Handle Pattern Indicate? A cup and handle is a technical indicator where the price movement of a security resembles a “cup” followed by a downward trending price pattern. This drop, or “handle” is meant to signal a buying opportunity to go long on a security. When this part of the price formation is over, the security may reverse course and reach new highs. Typically, cup and handle patterns fall between seven weeks to over a year. Is a Cup and Handle Pattern Bullish? As a general rule, cup and handle patterns are bullish price formations. The founder of the term, William O’Neil, identified four primary stages of this technical trading pattern. First, approximately one to three months before the “cup” pattern begins, a security will reach a new high in an uptrend. Second, the security will retrace, dropping no more than 50% of the previous high creating a rounding bottom. Third, the security will rebound to its previous high, but subsequently decline, forming the “handle” part of the formation. Finally, the security breaks out again, surpassing its highs that are equal to the depth of the cup’s low point. How Do You Find a Cup and Handle Pattern? Consider a scenario where a stock has recently reached a high after significant momentum but has since corrected, falling almost 50%. At this point, an investor may purchase the stock, anticipating that it will bounce back to previous levels. The stock then rebounds, testing the previous high resistance levels, after which it falls into a sideways trend. In the final leg of the pattern, the stock exceeds these resistance levels, soaring 50% above the previous high. Thanks for viewing my analysis on the classic "CUP AND HANDLE" formation

ape pt.2greetings o/ ape looks to be getting ready for a move up, just like btc. the volume has been really nice on this one over the last few days, would like to see it continue. the burgundy zones on my chart are massive levels of resistance, it's going to have to clear these levels to get to my take profit target. so long as the local low from today isn't breached, it's game for a move up if the local low is breached, grabbing it down below in the golden zone is the plan.

APE coin; potential upside > $APE coin highlighting a previous level of demand. > Trend is still down, potential for 20%+ upside >> RR = 2.67~ > $APE coin highlighting previous levels of demand. > Decent potential for a move up off the current level with moderate SL. > potential estimated 20%+ move >> Target level is a cluster of resistance and supply across structure shoulders/peaks > Given the overall market trend, should not expect any large breakouts/upside moves.

$AMC had a short lived Bullish run. What is next?NYSE:AMC Chart - Daily EMA (Exponential Moving Average): 20 EMA crossed the 50 EMA but couldn't hold for the next cross over 100 EMA. It is currently trending downwards towards the 50 EMA. TTM squeeze: All momentum is puff, gone. Squeezing downwards :( Fib levels: We now have a reversed fib and at .382 it's the beginning baaaaad news. It must fight off .618 or we headed down for the 1 fib ($13.77). Candle stick: Three Black Crows followed by a Bearish Engulfing. This is baaaaaaaaaaaaaad! Pattern: Falling Wedge or should I say Bearish Price Channel Continuation. News: I really think it's just the volatile markets and the continued fed data about CPI, SPI, and War. History: Well last start first by looking at the previous moves and analysis; We suggested the moves to $27.71 and $31.04 which were right on point. We even got a little extra. The current trends are the exact opposite of the previous analysis. We say this to say that the probability for $AMC to go back to $13.87 (1 fib reversal) is super high given the current market conditions. Especially with today's CPI data of 8.6% for the month of March. Maybe $HYMC could come to the rescue but they seem to be facing the same fate.

🐒greeting o/ got a special one here ~ the last ape trade i shared yielded me 700%(on leverage) \\ peaked out at 3500% (i didn't hold it all the way through as things got intense lol). this next setup could be face ripping, especially if the green path plays out. --- there's two main trajectories i'm seeing for our ape friend. the blue path takes us up to $17.5~$18.5 before turning back to the downside. the green path takes this ape all the way up to $30 in a golden rocket ship via a 5 wave impulse. it's going to move quite fast (in theory), so this local golden zone is the golden ticket if i'm right about it. 💰

APE/USD - Buy opportunity incoming! Ape in! 🤣APE has hit the resistance once more, if it does not manage to pass it it will likely fall back on the top of this trendline which should act as support. Once done, it will likely form an inverted H&S and then price could break the neckline and run. This is just an idea and price may do its own thing, but probability is high price will break this resistance one way or another. Buying the coming dip seems like a PRO move. NFA. Bias is turning bullish after we pullback. Like and follow if you liked this idea!
