The criteria that allowed me to validate a Cup & Handle:
1) "First there is an upward movement indicating a trend that has not yet reached maturity!"
2) "The cup should be U-shaped"
3) "The depth of the cup is preferably about a 1/3 retracement of the previous move"
Cup & Handle 1:
From $ 3.8k to $ 42k, based on a bullish movement of $ 38.2k.
1/3 of $ 38.2k = $ 12.7k
Retracement at $ 42k - $ 12.7k = a cup bottom at $ 29.3k.
Bitcoin retraced to $ 29.3k.
Cup & Handle 2:
From $ 28.7k to $ 58.5k, based on a bullish movement of $ 29.8k.
1/3 of 38.2 = $ 12.7k
Retracement at $ 58.5k - $ 12.7k = a cup bottom at $ 45.8k.
Bitcoin retraced to $ 43k, but the average bottom value of this 2nd cup is well around $ 45 ~ 46k.
4) "The handle, that is, the indentation after a new high is a final indent, which is usually a third of the height of the cup. But the NARROWER THE RETRACEMENT, the stronger the breakout to the upside."
So maybe this handle seems ridiculously small to you. :)
But that of the Cup & Handle 1 was too. :)
And it is on the contrary for me a bullish signal of low retracement.
Finally, the target of this pattern is calculated by measuring the distance between the right top of the cup and its bottom. However, the pattern often exceeds its purpose, even if I just give you a "$ 75k".
