Cup and Handle
Image 1 A pattern on bar charts. The pattern can be as short as seven weeks and as long as 65 weeks. The cup is in the shape of a U. And the handle has a slight downward drift. The right hand side of the pattern has low trading volume.

As the stock comes up to test the old highs. The stock will incur selling pressure by the people who bought at or near the old high. This selling pressure will make the stock price trade sideways with a tendency towards a downtrend for 4 days to 4 weeks...then it takes off.

Image 2 It looks like a pot with handle. Investors have made a lot of money using this pattern which is not too difficult to detect. Personally, this is one of the most profitable price patterns we've ever encountered.
