Meaning

What Cup and Handle means

A bullish continuation pattern resembling a rounded "cup" followed by a small pullback "handle." Chart patterns like this one are studied because they tend to repeat across timeframes and instruments, reflecting recurring crowd psychology in price action.

Trading context

Why it matters

It suggests consolidation after a rally before another leg higher. This is the kind of nuance that separates experienced market participants from beginners, since it only becomes practically useful once the basics are second nature.

Example

How traders may see it

Breakout above the handle's resistance often confirms continuation. In practice, traders typically encounter this directly within their trading platform, charting software, or an economic calendar, depending on the specific context in which it arises.
