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 Fibonacci 78.6% upside projection target of $174.32, based on the $49.55 to $119.41 range traded between March 2020 and January 2022 has recently been reached and rejected.
