Good morning, traders! Today we will make an educational post about a specific behavior in the market in certain circumstances, and we wanted to take advantage of the situation in GBP/USD that is currently happening.
The pattern we are talking about is the CUP AND HANDLE PATTERN. This pattern is widely used in stocks or indices since they are trend instruments by their essence, and it serves to catch a potential rise in price after a correction. The premise for this pattern to be valid is that the asset is in a CLEAR trend, either bullish or bearish, and has initiated a corrective process.
A cup and handle is a technical chart pattern that resembles a cup and handle where the cup is in the shape of a "u," and the handle has a slight downward drift.
There are three key things to consider when forming these patterns:
🔸Length: Generally, cups with longer and more "U" shaped bottoms provide a stronger signal (this case). Avoid cups with sharp "V" bottoms.
🔸Depth: Ideally, the cup should not be overly deep. Avoid overly deep handles, as handles should form in the top half of the cup pattern.
🔸Volume: Volume should decrease as prices decline and remain lower than average in the bowl base; it should then increase when the stock begins to make its move higher, back up to test the previous high.
🔸In addition, it is also an important factor that the handle is a clear corrective pattern and has some point of support or support. In this situation, we see that in the daily chart, the price is touching the uptrend line, and also in the published chart, we see how it is also testing the broken zone of the range. The current reversal point is solid.
Chats only works 50% of times just because normal people will fall into the traps. Now everyone press the Pay Icon and see how it plays, Although it a Cup and Handle Patten still the price go DOWN and DOWN to trap and liquidate you.
