    HI gfm and valen, problem is that looking for cups and handles, things are usually never perfect. IMO this one is a case in point. The logic behind c&h's is that they are consolidation patterns and better if the chart has already shown some advancement/uptrend, ie, c&h at at a higher level consol. The other issue is that when the handle forms the last sellers are getting out so there should be no overhead resistance and its a bit hard to ignore that dominant up candle on the 4/01/16. That's a fairly recent resistance zone for now.

    That's just my simple interpretation of the reading of cup and handle patterns and not really a comment on that particular stock.
