Attack of the Killer Cup and Handles

____________

By far, the most prevalent bullish setup that I have been seeing over the past few days has been the cup and handle formation. Essentially, the pattern revolves around a well-defined line of resistance, with plenty of time to shake weak hands out before eventually propelling much higher. Simply put, it is a bullish continuation pattern. We are looking for a smooth, “U-shaped’ cup with strong buyers presenting themselves in a meaningful way on the right side of the cup and the right side of the handle. Also, the handle should not take too long to form.

Consistent with the theme of the precious metals performing admirably, two of their charts are presented below, along with near field communications semiconductor, NXPI. They should all illustrate a basic cup and handle setup.

    Take a look at FXE on the weekly if you want a big cup and handle. Bodes ill for USD.
