What is an ‘inverted cup and handle’? An ‘inverted cup and handle’ is a chart pattern that indicates bearish continuation, triggering a sell signal. Think of it as an upside-down cup and handle.
If you look at the regular cup and handle pattern, there is a distinct ‘u’ shape and downward handle, which is followed by a bullish continuation. This means the inverted cup and handle is the opposite of the regular cup and handle. Instead of a ‘u’ shape, it forms an ‘n’ shape, with the handle bending slightly upwards on the chart.
