Chart Patterns

Cup and Handle

Pattern Description:

The Cup and Handle is a bullish continuation pattern that marks a consolidation period followed by a breakout. The cup is in the shape of a "U" and the handle has a slight downward drift. The right-hand side of the pattern has low trading volume. It can be as short as seven weeks and as long as 65 weeks. As the stock comes up to test the old highs, the stock will incur selling pressure by the people who bought at or near the old high. This selling pressure will make the stock price trade sideways with a tendency towards a downtrend for four days to four weeks... then it takes off.

Detecting deterministic dynamics in stock prices

by Tim Straiton
It may appear odd to many investors, but stocks that are less volatile than their counterparts have historically produced comparable or better returns.

Technical Review

Russell 2000 Index approaching significant support

2025-03-15 by Tim Straiton

The Russell 200 Index closed the week ending 14th March 2025 at 2044, just below the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of 2049.50, based on the 1657 to 2442 range traded between October 2023 and November 2024. A more important support level lies at 1956, being the Fibonacci 61.8% retracement level of the same range.

We feel that this level will be difficult to crack in the short-term and will serve as a solid base for a healthy rebound. It is worth noting that the 14 day relative strength index recently touched 24% and has already rebounded toward the 35% level. The MACD-V indicator level of minus 167 is also indicating that this market is exhibiting signs of bearish exhaustion.
