Learn How to Trade Cup and Handle Pattern on Forex & Gold If you are studying a price action, you should definitely know how to identify and trade Cup and Handle pattern formation. Being applied properly, it can generate big profits. In this educational article, I will teach you how to identify this pattern. We will discuss its psychology and I will share with you 2 trading strategies. 📏And let's start with the structure of the pattern. The pattern has 3 important elements: Cup - long-term correctional movement that tends to move steadily from a bearish trend to a bullish trend. Handle - short-term correctional movement with signs of bullish strength. Neckline - upper horizontal boundary of the pattern - a strong resistance that the price constantly respects. ⚠️Being formed, it warns you about a highly probable coming bullish movement. The trigger that confirms the initiation of a bullish wave is a breakout of the neckline of the pattern and a candle close above. Here is the example of a completed C&H with a confirmed neckline breakout, indicating a highly probably coming bullish movement. Depending on the preceding price action, Cup & Handle Pattern can either be a trend-following or reversal pattern. 📉If the pattern is formed after a bearish impulse. It is considered to be a reversal pattern. Here is the example of a reversal C&H that I spotted on EURUSD. 📈If the pattern is formed at the top of a bullish impulse , it is considered to be a trend following pattern. Here is the example of a trend following C&H that I spotted on GBPJPY. The thing is that while the price forms the C&H, buying volumes are accumulating. Even though, buyers are hesitant and reluctant initially, their confidence grows, and the accumulation leads to explosive neckline breakout. There are 2 strategies to trade this pattern. ✔️ Strategy 1. That approach is quite risky , but the reward can be quite substantial. You should monitor the price action when the price is creating a handle. Occasionally, the price starts trading in a falling channel: parallel or contracting one. Your trigger will be a bullish breakout of its resistance and a candle close above. Once the violation is confirmed, you can buy aggressively or set a buy limit order on a retest. Stop loss will lie below the lows of the channel. Target will be the closest key resistance. Here is the example of the handle being a falling channel. ✔️ Strategy 2. Wait for a breakout of a neckline of the pattern. Once a candle closes above that, it will confirm the violation. Buy the market aggressively or set a buy limit on a retest of a broken neckline then. Stop loss will lie below the lows of the handle. Target will be the closest key resistance. Here is the example of the trade based on a confirmed breakout of a neckline of C&P on NASDAQ Index. Applied properly, the strategies may reach up to 70% win rate. As always, the best pattern will be the one that forms on a key level. Try it, test it, and good luck in your trading journey. ❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️

Learn What is Higher High, Higher Low, Lower Low, Lower High In this educational article, we will discuss the foundation of price action analysis: the concepts of highs and lows. In order to grasp that concept, you should learn to perceive the price chart as the sequence of zigzags . Depending on the direction of the market and the shape of these zigzags, its peaks will be called differently. There are 6 types of them that you should learn to recognize. 1️⃣ Equal Highs (EH). The peaks of bullish moves will be called equal highs, if they perfectly respect the same level (resistance), retracing from that and not managing to break above. Above is the example of equal highs on Gold chart on a daily. 2️⃣ Equal Lows (EL). The peaks of bearish moves will be called equal lows, if they perfectly respect the same level (support), bouncing from that and not managing to break below. Find perfect equal lows on USDCAD on the chart above. 3️⃣ Higher High (HH). The peak of a bullish move will be called Higher High, if the price manages to violate the previous high after a retracement. Look at a perfect sequence of higher highs on NZDUSD. 4️⃣ Lower Low (LL). The peak of a bearish move will be called Lower Low, if the price manages to violate the previous low after a pullback. Trading in a strong bearish trend, NZDCAD keeps updating lower lows on a daily. 5️⃣ Higher Low (HL). The peak of a bearish move will be called Higher Low if, after a retracement from the high, the price manages to set a low that is higher than the previous low. Back to the example on NZDUSD. Not only the price updates the higher highs but also the higher lows. 6️⃣ Lower High (LH). The peak of a bullish movement will be called Lower High if, after a pullback from the low, the price sets a high that is lower than the previous high. That's how EURJPY acted on a daily, setting 2 nice lower highs. Why these terms are so important? Because, firstly, you can apply them to objectively identify the market trend. Secondly, all the price action patterns are based on a combination of these highs and lows. You should learn these terms by heart, and you should learn to perceive the price chart as the sequence of zigzags, with a strict designation of each peak. ❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️
