Cup & Handle
The cup and handle is a bullish pattern: a rounded 'U' base (the cup) of gradual accumulation, followed by a small downward drift near the rim (the handle), then a breakout to new highs. This article explains the anatomy, why the rounded shape and a shallow handle matter, the volume signature, the measured-move target, the inverse (bearish) version, and what separates a high-quality cup and handle from a sloppy one.

Double Tops & Bottoms
Double tops and bottoms are among the simplest, most reliable reversal patterns: two failed attempts at the same level. This article explains the double top (the 'M' — two equal peaks failing at resistance, confirmed by breaking the middle low) and the double bottom (the 'W' — two equal troughs holding at support, confirmed by breaking the middle high), their triple-top/bottom cousins, the volume tell, the measured-move target, and why confirmation matters.
Trendlines
A trendline is sloping support or resistance: a straight line drawn along a market's rising lows (an uptrend line, acting as dynamic support) or falling highs (a downtrend line, acting as dynamic resistance). This article explains how trendlines are drawn and confirmed, why two points define a line but a third validates it, what slope and steepness signal, how parallel lines form channels, and the discipline needed to avoid drawing the lines you wish were there.
