Cup & Handle

What it finds: O'Neil-style cup-and-handle continuation patterns on daily bars — smooth U-shaped base (12–33% deep, ~7–33 weeks), symmetric rims, and a tight low-volume handle. Buy point = handle high + $0.10. • Best market conditions: Risk-on tapes where leaders carve constructive bases before breakouts. • Typical trigger: Detector fires while stock is in Stage 2 with adequate liquidity.
