XVG is a staple of the crypotcurrency world and therefore it is only natural that we should come back to it every now and again to reassess our positioning on it. All comments made will be in relation to the graph below:
One of the first thing to notice is the rounded bottom. Whilst a V-shaped bottom indicates a normal trend or even a double or triple bottom formation, a rounded low is quite unique to the cup and handle formation.
Secondly, the two volume spikes immediately before and at what seems to be the end of the cup and start of the handle are two tell-tale signs of a cup and handle formation being formed.
Thirdly, a stuttering at the previous level could indicate a price parallel cup (the most common form) and therefore would affirm our initial thoughts. This is a key factor to look out for, if XVG/BTC breaks the horizontal resistance line mapped, our prediction of a cup and handle will be null and void.
So, the things to look out for are:
- If the price breaks the horizontal resistance mapped above
- Price falling within the mapped lines
- Decreasing volume as the handle forms before huge volume spike at the start-of-the-end of the handle
