cup and handle thing only works in the textbook. In real-world, the price can move in thousands of patterns/manners BAC - I don't see any cup and handle pattern. All I can see is that the chart is very messy and ugly. It will continue to be messy and ugly until the chart says otherwise. note that the uptrend started in Mar 2020 ( as in many other stocks).
Good question. What's your verdict HappyT? Cup and Handle Trading Strategy https://www.elitetrader.com/et/thre...t-right-here-baby.335635/page-12#post-5046435
%% AFTER all these years/ i never have spotted a cup with handle\except in IBD /textbooks= too subjective..... BuT REALLY/its a pic of an uptrend above 200 day moving average/buy. Reasonable BAC uptrend but FEB tends to be so weak\week. Messy chart on 3 year but ok on 2021...........................................................................................................
When I see such a messy ugly chart, I wouldn't want to be near it. Because it is difficult to profit from it. I'd look for other more presentable, more beautiful trendy charts. a lot of things mentioned in the books are not applicable to the real world. because the writers didn't spend enough time trading. as what people say; those who cannot trade, write books.
%% ONE good thing about IBD cup with handle/he made a fortune + always put his cup with handle hi +late on charts+ plenty of time to profit/uptrend................................................................................................

Weekly charts? For what, that cup n handle is done. The example pattern triggered and exited the same day, Feb, 25's uvxy 10m chart. (you mentioned in a prior post "AFTER all these years/ i never have spotted a cup with handle\except in IBD /textbooks= too subjective....." So thought i'd post one that sprung up plain as day. Do you see your 'first cup and handle in the wild' there?
