1 Cup with Handle Base
2 Saucer Base
The Saucer base is basically a long, drawn out cup base. Characteristics of a Saucer are: 1. A depth of 12-20%. 2. A length of 7 weeks to more than a year. 3. If a handle forms then the buy point is the peak just before the pull back plus 10 points. 4. However a handle will often not form after the long period of this base. If there is no handle then the buy point is the peak on the left side of the saucer plus 10 points.
3 Tight Closes and Narrow Price Spreads Double Bottom
Flat Base – (Second Stage) Second stage base that follows an uptrend off of a stage 1 proper base (cup with saucer, saucer, double bottom ) and an uptrend Tight Closes and Narrow Price Spreads Prior Sequence 1. Uptrend 2. Proper Base
4 Ascending Base – (Second Stage) Second stage base that follows an uptrend off of a stage 1 proper base (cup with saucer, saucer, double bottom ) and an uptrend Pull-backs occur at general market declines
Square Box – (Second Stage)

5 3 – 4 Weeks Tight – (Second Stage) Second stage base that follows an uptrend off of a stage 1 proper base (cup with saucer, saucer, double bottom ) and an uptrend. Volume over 3 – 4 weeks is well under control Weekly closes within 1%, however, 1 week can be 1.5% Opportunity to add
High Tight Flag The pattern forms when a stock surges 100% to 120% in four to eight weeks. The stock then corrects 10% to 25% in three to five weeks. The ideal buy point is the high of the flag plus 10 Points Breakout from Proper Base followed by price run-up of > 100% within 4-8 weeks 3 – 5 weeks correction between 10 – 25% Buy Point = 0.10 higher than peak of correction
6 Base on Base If an uptrend is less than 20% and the stock builds another base, it's called a "base-on-base" pattern and is counted as part of the previous base
Conclusion The cup and handle pattern is a bullish continuation pattern triggered by consolidation after a strong upward trend. The pattern takes some time to develop, but is relatively straightforward to recognize and trade on once it forms. As with all chart patterns, trading volume and additional indicators should be used to confirm a breakout and continuation of the original bullish price movement.
