True, the handle was a bit sloppy but for the most part volume in the
handle was below normal. It also made a pretty nice ascending triangle.

As for the action at the end of the day, I think you're reading too much
into it. The stock made a tremendous surge on volume in the last half hour
of trading. It then pulled back on lower volume but didn't undercut that
"intraday breakout point". It then found some new buyers at the very end
of the session.

You can find flaws in any chart formation. I've missed many huge winners
by refusing to buy what I perceived as a flawed handle, or by putting too
much weight on intraday analysis. Even IBD will go on to call "perfect
cup-handle breakouts" on stocks that have somewhat questionable
formations. I won't be surprised to see DFXI mentioned tomorrow as a good
example.

Of course hindsight is 20/20. Nevertheless I'm glad I bought yesterday :)
