  2. 2Right side of the cup returns to the level of the left rim (prior high)
  3. 3Handle: a brief pullback of 5–15% from the right rim, lasting 1–4 weeks

Buy the breakout above the handle resistance on above-average volume. Stop just below the handle low. Target: add cup depth to the breakout point.
