What is a Cup and Handle Pattern?

• Chart Pattern Type: Bullish continuation

• Shape:

  The “cup” looks like a rounded U-shape, showing a period of consolidation followed by a recovery.

  The “handle” is a short pullback or sideways drift after the cup, usually sloping slightly downward.

Cup-and-Handle Pattern & Target Projection

On the chart, DBS exhibits a well-formed cup-and-handle pattern:

• Cup depth: From the low near S$36.40 to the rim around S$47, the pattern forms a gain of about S$10.60.

• Measured target:

  $47+$10.60=$57.60

• Technical momentum may continue toward the S$57.60 region.

DBS Cup & Handle Breakout – What’s Next?

• DBS has broken above its recent high of S$49.19, a key resistance level from the "cup and handle" breakout zone.

• The next level to watch is S$50, a psychological round number that may act as short-term resistance.

• A sustained move above S$50 would reinforce bullish momentum and validate the pattern’s breakout strength.

Using DLCs for Short-Term Trading on DBS

• Daily Leverage Certificates (DLCs) allow traders to take leveraged positions on short-term price movements.

• Traders expecting DBS to continue rising may consider Long DLCs (e.g. $DBS 5xLongSG251023(QARW.SI)$ ) to amplify potential upside.

• For example, a 5x Long DLC would move approximately 5% for every 1% move in the underlying stock (before fees and costs).

• However, DLCs are designed for short-term trading only due to daily compounding effect.
