So Another Bullish Signal?

So, another indicator to proof that a big move is coming; the question is, when? Let us understand why and how. @Quantico_xyz

Take a look at the chart below; it clearly forms a cup and handle pattern, which is known as an ultra-bullish indicator, suggesting a sharp upward price movement. However, beyond its visual appearance, several key technical parameters are aligning perfectly to support this pattern.

These include increasing volume on the breakout, the alignment of moving averages, and bullish momentum indicators like RSI and MACD.Let’s dive deeper into this pattern to explore these confirming factors and understand its potential impact.

The cup and handle pattern is a highly regarded technical analysis setup indicating a bullish continuation in the market.

It typically forms during an uptrend and consists of a “cup” that appears as a rounded bottom, followed by a “handle,” which is a smaller consolidation or pullback.

This pattern suggests a period of accumulation before the price potentially breaks out to the upside, signaling the resumption of the previous uptrend.

Breakdown of the Pattern:

The Cup:

This part of the pattern resembles a smooth, rounded bottom, indicating a gradual shift from bearish to bullish sentiment. It forms after a price decline, where the price levels off and starts to rise again.

Depth: Ideally, the cup should retrace less than 50% of the prior advance. A shallower cup suggests strong support and a higher probability of a breakout.

Volume: During the formation of the cup, volume typically decreases, showing reduced selling pressure and gradual accumulation.

The Handle:

The handle is a smaller consolidation period that follows the cup. It usually slopes downward or moves sideways, representing a final shakeout of weak holders before the price advances.

Duration and Depth: The handle often retraces about one-third to one-half of the cup’s height and forms over a shorter period than the cup.

Volume: Volume often decreases during the handle, indicating a lack of selling pressure. A surge in volume during the breakout from the handle is a strong bullish signal.

Confirming Indicators:

Breakout Confirmation:

A key bullish signal is when the price breaks out above the resistance formed by the cup’s rim, ideally on increasing volume. This breakout indicates that the accumulation phase is complete and the price is poised for an upward move.

Moving Averages:

In a strong cup and handle pattern, short-term moving averages (like the 20-day MA) often cross above longer-term averages (like the 50-day MA), confirming bullish momentum.

RSI and MACD:

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) may show increasing bullish momentum, while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) should be in an upward trend, reinforcing the breakout signal.

Application to Our Chart:

All indicators on our chart align with the classic cup and handle pattern. Here’s how they are fitting together:

Volume Pattern: There’s a declining volume trend observed during the cup and handle formation, indicating decreasing selling pressure. This is followed by a significant volume spike during the breakout, which confirms the strength of the upward move.

Price Breakout: The price is breaking out above the resistance level formed by the cup’s rim, signaling a strong bullish trend. This breakout suggests that the consolidation phase has ended, paving the way for an upward price movement.

Moving Averages Alignment: We see short-term moving averages crossing above the long-term ones, such as the 20-day MA crossing above the 50-day MA. This crossover is supporting the upward momentum, further validating the bullish setup.

RSI and MACD: The chart shows positive momentum in the RSI and an upward trend in the MACD, reinforcing the validity of this pattern and indicating a potential bullish breakout.

Using this analysis in our trading strategy can help pinpoint optimal entry points and set profit targets.

The potential upside move is typically calculated by projecting the depth of the cup from the breakout point, giving us a clear target for gains.
