Some stocks seem to favor certain patterns. One of the stocks we are watching has been forming a pattern that has been about as predictable as you can get… if you know what you are looking for.
The cup and handle pattern is a basic technical pattern that can appear on charts and offer telling signals. Insulet (PODD) has been showing very consistent cup and handles that at a key point reveal the next move with high probability.
Take a look at this chart.
The red cups are where the pattern showed a decline and the green show rallies. If the cup forms a true handle and then moves above the rim of the cup, it has momentum to keep on going up. It may simply form a cup and keep going up without forming a handle, in which case the move above the rim is a buy sign. On the other hand we can see that if it forms a handle but doesn’t move above the rim, or if the handle extends past he bottom of the cup, it is bearish and is a sell sign.
The current pattern hasn’t confirmed yet, but with the MACD above 0 heading into overbought territory, it looks like the next move could be down.
We’ll keep an eye on this and see what it does.
Keep learning and trade wisely,
