Bitcoin’s cup-and-handle pattern targets $220,000 and above Bitcoin price has formed a cup-and-handle (C&H) pattern on the weekly chart, suggesting that a massive upward move is still in the cards for BTC. A cup-and-handle is a bullish continuation pattern where a rounded price recovery forms the “cup,” followed by a short consolidation inside a “handle” before a breakout.
It is resolved after a breakout above the handle’s resistance line, typically signalling a strong upward move, with the price target equal to the cup’s depth added to the breakout level. “Bitcoin has just completed a multi-year cup-and-handle pattern,” technical analyst Crypto Tice said in a Monday post on X. The analyst explained that C&H breakouts don’t result in small price movements, adding that “they move hundreds of percent.” Bitcoin price has retested the cup’s $65,000-$74,000 neckline, which must be held to complete the breakout. “The retest just finished. The launch is next,” the analyst said, adding: “$220K is the minimum target.” BTC/USD weekly chart.
