A security pattern traces the distinct movements of security prices that, once recognized, help traders to make informed trading decisions. These patterns are identified by their vital geometrical elements, which are formed by changing security prices. Here is a closer look at some growth stock opportunities that may be revealed by analyzing these patterns.


Buy Signal for National Health Investors, Inc. (NHI(Cup-and-Handle)

The cup-and-handle (sometimes called cup-and-holder) pattern is formed when the price of a security initially declines and then rises to form a U-like, rounded shape (as shown by points 1, 2, and 3, also known as the cup). Once it forms the right lip, it is characterized by a short, relatively straight price decline (from points 3 to 4) forming the handle.

The declining handle potentially forms due to the mounting selling pressure created when the security tests its high at the right cup lip. After the sellers give up, the security has the potential to break out to the upside.

Trade idea:

  • Buy near the breakout (entry) price – $66.00.
  • Sell at the target (exit) price – $68.97.

Trend trading is a strategy based on the technical analysis of changing market prices. The trend trader enters into a long position when a stock is trending upward, and uses the short position when a stock is trending downward.
