Pre Market OCT 16, 2025

Good morning traders, how are you today?
The markets look to be rising again
$DJI ( ▲ 0.52% )  
$SPY ( ▲ 0.57% )  
$QQQ ( ▲ 0.66% )  
$IWM ( ▼ 0.67% )  

There’s a really powerful chart pattern that is often times overlooked for different reasons, first off they simply don’t happen that often, another is not many talk about it
It’s called the “Inverse Cup with Handle”
The name says it all, it’s inverse of a regular Cup with Handle
There’s also some really cool aspects to this rare pattern
The first being that price has been knocked down
Another is just like its more popular cousin the C.w.H. it can be great base for buy points
Something that differs between the 2 is we don’t want a full cup on this one
We only want two / thirds of a retracement

Believe it or not we’re going to visit our old friend $SFM ( ▲ 0.21% )  

Here at theoptionscoach.net
We don’t chase stocks

We buy at the MID price or better
We set STOPS and HONOR them
