A Cup and Handle is a bullish continuation — a rounded, U-shaped base (the cup) followed by a small pullback (the handle). A breakout above the handle's resistance resumes the uptrend.
How traders trade it
- Enter on the breakout above the handle.
- The cup should be a smooth U, not a sharp V.
- Project the cup depth from the breakout for a target.
