The cup and handle pattern is a bullish continuation pattern that indicates a strengthening of the price of a security succeeded by a breakout after which the price of the scrip shoots up. The period of consolidation is the U-shaped cup whereas the breakout is signified by the handle.
Cup and handle chart patterns are said to have been popularised by American technical analyst
William J. O’Neil through his book How to Make Money in Stocks in the late 80s. O’Neil provided an in-depth analysis and identification of the cup and handle in a few passages. He wrote that cup and handle chart patterns last, in time duration, from 7 to as many as 65 weeks (most are usually three to six months).
