How Did the Cup and Handle Pattern Form?
The cup and handle formation appears when there has been an upward movement pattern. This is a bullish upward continued pattern.

The trend is confirmed as cup and handle formation only when the stock price surpasses the resistance level and shows an upward movement. Only then can a trader get a confirmation that the higher price stock movement is going to sustain.

When a stock begins to move upwards and shows a bullish pattern, traders continue to invest in the stock’s growth and positive trend. As the stock breaches high levels, investors who came in at the beginning of the uptrend start booking profits. At this level, the upward trend halts, and the price falls with selling pressure. At this stage, the cup formation curves downwards in a bowl shape. As traders and investors continue to book profits, the cup moves lower, indicating a temporary downward cup.

At these levels, savvy investors, traders, and institutions begin to pump funds into the stock at attractive levels due to the fundamentals of the stock or value buying. At these low price levels, buying comes in, and with buying pressure, the cup curvature starts moving up to reach the resistance line. At this stage, an entire curved bowl-shaped cup is seen.

The handle emerging here is interesting to note and indicates human psychology. The trader who had invested at the peak of the resistance line before the stock dipped is eager to take his capital back as the stock moves up. Moment stock touches the resistance level, and this trader sells. Also, the traders who started buying at the bottom of the cup look at the resistance point as a safety level to book profits. There is selling pressure at resistance levels, and the upward cup shape is halted.

The volume of stocks also identifies the cup and handle at the beginning of formation at the end of the cup curve. The volume of shares is low at the end of cup formation as the selling is not heavy here. The investors who bought at the previous resistance level their capital and sell. Short-term traders without a fundamental view sell at the seeming peak of the stock.

The institutions and experienced investors hold on to the stock bout at cup bottom. The selling volumes are low and don’t push the stock price down. The buying also continues, and if large volumes of buying hold, the stock breaks the resistance level, and upward trends emerge, making a handle pattern.
