#Educational Cup and handle
The cup and handle pattern is a bullish continuation pattern that is used to show a period of bearish market sentiment before the overall trend finally continues in a bullish motion.
The cup appears similar to a rounding bottom chart pattern, and the handle is similar to a wedge pattern.
Following the rounding bottom, the price of an asset will likely enter a temporary retracement, which is known as the handle because this retracement is confined to two parallel lines on the price graph.
The asset will eventually reverse out of the handle and continue with the overall bullish trend.
