What the cup and handle is
A rounded dip like a cup, a small dip like a handle, then a break above the rim.
Picture a teacup from the side: a round bowl with a small handle on the right. A cup and handle is price drawing that shape: a slow, rounded dip and recovery, then a small dip called the handle. When price breaks above the rim of the cup, the pattern is complete.
