Cup and Handle pattern - Altcoins indexCup with Handle is a bullish continuation pattern that marks a consolidation period followed by a breakout. There are two parts to the pattern: the cup and the handle. The cup forms after an advance and looks like a bowl or rounding bottom. As the cup is completed, a trading range develops on the right-hand side and the handle is formed. A subsequent breakout from the handle's trading range signals a continuation of the prior advance.
How this works
The cup should resemble a bowl or rounding bottom. The perfect pattern would have equal highs on both sides of the cup, but this is not always the case.
After the high forms on the right side of the cup, there is a pullback that forms the handle. The handle is the consolidation before breakout and can retrace up to 1/3 of the cup's advance, but usually not more.
The cup can be spread out from 1 to 6 months, occasionally longer. Ideally, the handle will form and complete over 1-4 weeks.
The buy point occurs when the stock breaks out or moves upward through the old point of resistance (right side of the cup). This breakout should occur with increased volume.
The price target following the breakout can be estimated by measuring the distance from the right top of the cup to the bottom of the cup and adding that number to the buy point. This should be used only as a guideline.

NKNUSDT CUP HANDLENKNUSDT is making a cup handle formation in the 4h frame time. The support and resistance lines are given in the graphic. The main resistance line of the formation is 0.89$. Once it is broken upwards and after a possible re-test, it is good to open a position or hop in. This is not a finance advice. DYOR.
Breakout of Cup and Handle formationThere was a breakout of cup and handle formation. Now it's correcting itself, so there a good opportunity to buy at this level or you can buy after a breakout of previous green candle. Since it has broke the Cup and handle formation with good volume there is a good probability that it will give a good return in coming future. Plus the fundamentals are very strong, accelerating quarterly eps , accelerating annual eps , sales are growing, so i recommend to buy at this level.
Cup and Handle Formation - SMART MONEY IDEAA cup and handle formation has been formed.
We are soon to see a breakout on the upside.
This trade also goes against the sentiment for GBP/JPY + GBP/USD, which means we are even more likely to see a break to the upside (trade alongside the big banks and usually against the majority)
Good luck guys!
(4/4) CUP n HANDLE 85%, ENTRY OPPORTUNITIES AHEAD!Bulls play to 12K and beyond!
If we can just break past 10300....
We are just starting to make a handle, and maybe starting the bottom. If there is another significant impulse that pushes and keeps us below 8150, then the teacup pattern is unreliable.
I think there is a good chance that the price will continue to climb. If we can finish the handle pattern, the next resistance levels are at 11500/12000/13900. I think 11500 is highly likely, 12000 also possible, with 13900 unlikely.
There are two possible trades, an aggressive one now, and a more conservative one after the handle finishes a bottom.
Aggressive entry NOW until friday
8150 stop
Profit:
Target1 : 11500 - 11800
Target 2: 13800
Target 3: 20K
Patient entry @ 10300
stop @ 9600
It's important to let price test the previous high. If it falls short significantly, the price could collapse quickly. You also get the benefit of seeing more price action for confirmation signals. If the price hits 10300 and starts to break several supports, then the pattern is invalidated.
BAT Cup with handle Pivot points from +20 to 111% Channel bottom BAT Figure "Cup with handle." Now "handle" is being drawn. Pivot points on which the confirmation of the figure depends, I depicted on the chart. After this growth, the coin is now at the very bottom of the previous horizontal channel. Very important red zone. This is the lower boundary of the channel. The movement of the coin for several months depends on this zone. Either the coin will go on a bullish path and will be traded in a horizontal channel with a step of + 160% as before , or it will go on a bearish path. I adhere to the first option more.
The development potential of the “Cup with Handle” figure itself is from + 20% to + 111%.
+ 20% - until the resistance of the "cup", if we do not break through, then the formation is not confirmed.
+ 48% - previous local high
+ 111% - full development of the figure’s potential, as in a book.
Stop loss - under the red zone. The lower boundary of the global horizontal channel.

The "Cup with handle" ("Mug") figure is a figure of the continuation of the trend. It is very reminiscent of the Saucer reversal pattern, but without the handle. One of the main features of this figure is that it is a continuation figure precisely on an uptrend. There is also a variant of this figure in mirror image on a downtrend: "Inverted cup with a handle."
The name of the figure was due to the external similarity with the shape of the cup.
The "Cup with handle" figure (Mug) consists of two parts:
1) Bowls.
2) handle.
____________________________________
The stages of the formation of the figure and the Take Profit
1) The very first condition for the formation of this figure model is an uptrend. How is it a pattern of continuing the uptrend. Ideally, the trend should be strong enough and long enough, but not too "old". Otherwise, the potential for further growth and confirmation of the figure is sharply reduced.
2) "Bowl" - should have a smooth concave bottom. In an ideal "Cup with a handle" ("Mug"), the maximums of the glass (edges on the sides) will be at the same level (general resistance), but this is not a requirement. But, the more "ideal" the form of the "Bowl", the stronger the signal. More rounded shape of the figure "guarantee" a fairly good consolidation and is a more reliable sign with strong levels of support and resistance.
3) After the formation of the "Bowl", the second obligatory component of the figure is formed - this is the "handle". After the maximum is formed on the right side of the "Cup", a small rollback occurs, which is formed to the right of it and which forms the "Handle". It may look different and take different shapes and shapes: flag, pennant, triangle ... Also, these shapes meet with the “Pen” without tilt, but with horizontal movement. Usually, the handle in height does not occupy more than 1/3 of the height of the glass.
It is believed that the smaller the “handle”, the stronger the breakthrough and further movement will be. The edges of the handle are approximately flush with the edges of the glass, which once again confirms the resistance of the figure. "handle" is the last step before the final formation of the figure and the subsequent breakthrough of resistance. The breakout level of the figure is located at the level of the edges of the "cup" or slightly lower if the "Handle" is tilted down (at the level of resistance of the "Handle").
4) The timeframe is of great importance. The longer the formation takes, the more reliable the signal is considered. The larger the time frame, the more reliable the signal.
5) As a rule, at the bottom of the "Cup" the volumes have a minimum value. Then, the volume indicators during the formation of the second part of the "Cup" should gradually increase. On the rollback, prices during the formation of the "Handle" should go down. At the breakout of the resistance of the "Handle" have a maximum value. When the resistance of the figure breaks through.
6) The goal of working out the figure is the distance between the minimum and maximum of the figure (resistance). Overlaid is the distance from the resistance breakout zone. But when setting goals, you need to consider global and local levels. They greatly depend on how the goals in the figure work out.
BAT There is a "Cup" Coin in the channel Option "Cup with handleAfter the breakdown of the horizontal channel, the figure "double bottom" appeared on the chart of the coin. This was in the previous trading idea for this coin in the update. Profit amounted to + 76%
The situation is now.
At the moment, we have the shape of a cup (saucer, rounded bottom) which, at the 4th stage (breaking through the resistance of the "bowl"), can go up to the indicated resistance. Another option - a downward channel can be drawn, which will act as the "Handle" of the "Cup with handle" figure . It is very important that if we follow the second scenario, the red zone is important, which will act as a support for the global channel. Roughly speaking, a successful retest of it will give a signal in growth over the entire width of the channel, and this is + 160%. But if support breaks through, then in the near future it will be better to forget about trading this coin. This is a very unlikely scenario. But this must always be remembered.
At the expense of the coin, the coin is very strong fundamentally , this is one of those coins that I constantly trade and increase my position. I’ve been trading for almost a year and a half BAT.
For example, this trading idea for trading BAT / BTC in a horizontal channel for November 2018.
I showed all three options on the chart. The most likely is the "Cup with handle."

A bit about the figures on the charts
Saucer shape (Bowl, Rounded bottom).
The Saucer shape, or as it is often called the Chalice, the Rounded bottom is a long-term figure that predicts long-term growth that looks like a concave arc. The figure is found on large timeframes. In most cases, on weeks, but on instruments that quickly go through their cycle (cryptocurrency), they can occur on a daily timeframe.
The rounded bottom is quite rare, but very reliable bullish pattern. Typically, a pattern is formed at the end of a long-term “bearish trend” and usually gives a signal of a market reversal.
It should be noted that the ideal symmetry of the figure is not a prerequisite. The main thing is the presence of its key components: the descent of the price, the bottom, the rise in price and the breaking of resistance.
Ideally, the formation of the “Saucer” pattern usually occurs in a narrow price range, in a calm market with the least volatility, when a trend reversal occurs smoothly, without strong price spikes. If, however, price spikes occur, then very soon the price will return to its usual range. The figure signals the long-term nature of the formation of a trend movement. The longer the figure forms in time, the stronger the signal is considered. The most reliable are the figures formed on weekly charts for at least several months. The older the time frame, the more reliable the signal. The rounded bottom is a long-term figure, and can stretch on the chart for a long period.
_________________________________________
Stages of the formation of the figure.
The Saucer figure consists of the following steps:
1) The descent of the price is the first phase of the figure. Price fall trend with a gradual slowdown. In the classical case, it should be a smooth arc, but in practice its shape can be flat or contain, on the contrary, correction minima and maxima. The main condition in this case is the gradually decelerating pace of price reduction.
2) The bottom is the lowest point of prices. It is the geometric center of the figure. It should be located on a gentle bottom (smooth bottom, without peaks). Although sometimes such a formation as the "Thorn" down or closed squeezes comes across at the bottom. The main thing is that these local formations do not violate the overall picture of the figure and movement in the global. If the lower point of the price forms the so-called platform on the chart, then the trading volumes gradually decrease, and at the moment of the price jump up sharply increase. Another surge in prices may be a signal to buy if the maximum of current prices is higher than the previous maximum.
3) Ascent of the price - after the minimum follows the ascent, which should ideally be symmetrical to the descent, and should last as long as the first phase (the descent of the price). There is a tendency to increase prices with a gradual acceleration.
4) The intersection of the resistance formed by the upper boundary of the whole figure (passes through the maximum point of the figure at the beginning of the period of its formation) is an additional confirmation of the rounded bottom and the final phase of the formation of the figure. After breaking through and fixing the price, the resistance level turns into a support level. When crossing the resistance, the volume rises as a rule.

The figure "Cup with handle" (Mug).
The "Cup with handle" ("Mug") figure is a figure of the continuation of the trend. It is very reminiscent of the Saucer reversal pattern, but without the handle. One of the main features of this figure is that it is a continuation figure precisely on an uptrend.
The figure got its interesting name because of the external similarity with the shape of the cup.
The "Cup with handle" figure (Mug) consists of two parts:
1) Bowls.
2) Pens.
This pattern appears on an uptrend. A pattern begins to form when a bottom forms in a concave arc on an uptrend. This is the first part of the figure - "Bowl". Upon completion, another bottom is formed, much smaller than the first. The edges of the "Bowl" and "Handle" are at approximately the same level (form resistance). Upon completion of the formation of the "Handle", the price breaks the resistance line from the bottom up and the figure is successfully confirmed.
________________________________________
Shape shaping and volume change.
As a rule, the volume at the bottom of the "Cup" has a minimum value. "Cups" should gradually increase. The prices of pens should be reduced during formation. On the breakthrough of resistance, “Pens” are of high importance. When the resistance of the figure breaks through.
