Yeah, definite correlation there for sure...as reiterated recently by Tully...the stock being more volatile as you'd expect.

As for a cup & handle targets potential, correct, it could be considerably lower...& I'm personally in the habit of anticipating a full 100% pattern-height decline (especially as the pattern in question involves a break to the downside!).

However, while chrism68's Cup & Handle may not have played out according to his initial plan, & the handle may now be considered to have moved a little lower than text-book ideal, I'll stick my neck out & say the pattern is still in play with the handle still forming & that we won't see a full c&h pattern decline. But remember, I'm a sucker for a pretty pattern so keep that in mind & don't hold me to it.!

All in all, I reckon we're just gearing up for the 'real' copper bull run.
