This is a picture of the chart pattern indicator on the daily scale. The indicator is the line chart below a chart of the S&P 500 composite.
The most recent signal is bearish, which appears as the red vertical bar on the far right of the chart. The CPI has a reading of 14.8 in a range of 0 to 100.
I drew a violet line across the peaks of both the CPI and the index. Notice that they diverge. The theory says that sooner or later the index will follow the CPI lower. That's not true, as I recall. Sometimes divergence can last for months and then it fades away.
Look back at April-May for an example. The CPI eases lower. The index ignores it and keeps rising. However, the index does dip when the CPI turns bearish, so maybe this isn't a good example of divergence not working.
Returning to the most recent signal, with light trading ahead, you might expect the CPI to bounce around. Signals can change for up to a week. The bearish signal suggests the index is going to retrace in the coming days.

I show a chart of the S&P 500 index, on the daily scale. It shares a lot of features shown on the Nasdaq chart a week ago.
Point A is a chart pattern called a broadening top. It's not pleasant to the eye because the two lines don't completely overlap, but it's a valid broadening pattern. The breakout hasn't happened yet.
Point B is a feature of broadening tops as well as other chart patterns (such as rectangles). It's called a partial rise. A partial rise appears at or near the end of the chart pattern where price fails to touch the top trendline. The security drops and we often see a downward breakout. That's not clear yet. Indeed, it looks as if the index will climb instead of drop.
The following is a brief review of how the markets performed over time. The numbers refer to the close-to-close move in the Dow industrials.
No options expire this week.

I show a picture of the Nasdaq composite on the 5-minute scale.
I don't have much to say about the chart. The index is trending lower. Because a trend in motion tends to remain in motion, I'm looking for additional declines in the index.
Sometime, however, that has to change and the index will rise.
That's it!

This is a picture of the chart pattern indicator on the daily scale. The indicator is the line chart below a chart of the S&P 500 composite.
The most recent CPI reading is 12.5, which is bearish on a scale of 0 to 100.
I show that with a vertical red bar on the far right of the chart. That bar appeared today, so it could change for up to a week.
The inset at B shows how today's movement pulled the CPI down. The good news is that after this type of plunge, the CPI recovers quickly. Look at A for an example of that behavior. If the CPI is the hair trigger, then the index is slow motion. After the CPI turns bullish, expect the index to follow with a move upward that might last a few weeks.
It is possible that the chart shows a double or triple top chart pattern and the index will continue to drop. A drop will drive the CPI to 0 or close to it, before a recovery. What we do see is that the index has moved sideways since mid September. Maybe this sideway choppy motion will continue.

I don't have much to report about this chart. This picture is on the daily scale.
I drew a red line under the valleys, at A. Notice that the index follows the line higher.
The channel at B is not a robust pattern. It's a channel with two touches of each side, where 3 is really a minimum (5 touches of two trendlines, minimum).
Notice that trend A is upward and tight. Trend B is downward and loose.
Of course, this means the index is searching for a new direction. My guess is it'll be upward. I suggest that because the channel slopes downward as a retrace of uptrend A, the next move is likely upward (after it completes a short downward move).
The following is a brief review of how the markets performed over time. The numbers refer to the close-to-close move in the Dow industrials.
Many options expire this week, so traders will be looking to close out their positions, and that suggests increased volatility (large daily price swings).
The following is based on an SFO article in December 2004 by John Seekinger, titled, "Take a two-dimensional approach." He offers these tips.

I show a picture of the Nasdaq composite on the 1-minute scale.
The tall spike upward at A shows the 2 PM time when the FED was supposed to announce their decision. The quarter point cut was well received by the market, at least initially (which bar A confirms).
The index wobbled up and down, eventually forming a chart pattern called a broadening top. I show the pattern outlined with two diverging red lines.
At B is another chart pattern called a double bottom. It confirms as a valid chart pattern when the index closes above the highest peak between the two bottoms. Confirmation happened at bar A.
The hooking rise from C to D is a pattern called an inverted and ascending scallop. Price bottoms on the right side and often continues rising above the pattern's peak.
That's what I expect to happen. The index may drop some at the open, but I expect the index to rise.

This is a picture of the chart pattern indicator on the daily scale. The indicator is the line chart below a chart of the S&P 500 composite.
The most recent signal has changed to neutral with a reading of 36.8.
About two weeks ago, the CPI was bullish and the index climbed after the green bar appeared. Recently, however, we see the index vacillating from neutral (white bars) and the sell bar (red).
Notice that the index has moved horizontally over the last week while it makes up its mind before charting a new direction.
The upward hook in the CPI (from yesterday) probably means that the CPI is going higher. I expect the index to follow suit when the FED lowers interest rates by a quarter point tomorrow. A lower rate is good news for the stock market, but a quarter point drop is probably already factored in. The markets are waiting for confirmation. We may see a dip after the news comes out tomorrow, but I expect a rebound in the coming days.

I show the Dow industrials on the daily scale.
On the far right of the chart is what looks like a chart pattern called a head-and-shoulders top. LS is the left shoulder, RS is the right one, with a head in between.
The pattern doesn't become real until the index closes below the red line at A. That's a long way away from where it is now, making me believe it won't happen.
As ugly as the head-and-shoulders top looks, a handsome broadening top appears at B. The partial decline at C correctly predicts an upward breakout. That breakout happens at D, when the index closes above the top of the pattern. A nice rise followed.
What do I think will happen next? We'll probably see a retrace that may take the index down midway between RS and A before a resumption of the uptrend. That decline and recovery, if it happens, could take a month.
The following is a brief review of how the markets performed over time. The numbers refer to the close-to-close move in the Dow industrials.
No options expire this week.

I show a picture of Bitcoin (BTC-USD) on the daily scale, I think.
I've heard about the drop in BTC so I thought I'd take a look.
Let's run through some of the patterns. Pictured on the far left of the chart are the twin peaks of a double top. It confirms as a valid chart pattern when the cryptocurrency closes below the horizontal red line (that's below the lowest valley between the two peaks). When that happened, the squiggles on the chart turned into a real chart pattern. The double top predicted a decline, which is what we see.
The currency dropped from about 110,000 to 75,000, or about 32%.
At C, buyers flocked into the currency (or sellers stopped selling). The currency made a nice climb up to another double top.
After that, a head-and-shoulders top (LS-A-RS) signaled a reversal. The currency peaked at A, at about $125,000 and made a nice drop to bottom at B, almost 80,000 for a tidy loss of 36% in less than two months.
We're seeing a bounce now, as if this were an event pattern called a dead-cat bounce. If that pattern holds true, then expect the currency to drop below the low at B, putting it at about 65,600 (18% below B, on average). That will not be a nice Christmas present.

This is a picture of the chart pattern indicator on the daily scale. The indicator is the line chart below a chart of the S&P 500 composite.
The CPI turned bullish about a week ago, just as the index bottomed. The index recovered and has now formed a chart pattern called a triple top. It hasn't confirmed as a valid pattern yet, so it could be squiggles on the price chart.
To confirm it, the index would have to close below the lowest valley between the three peaks. The most recent green bar points to the confirmation price.
The CPI reads 73.1, which is bullish but just above the neutral zone below 65.
Given that the trend is down, I'd expect the CPI to drop into the neutral zone. It might stay there or continue lower to post a bearish signal. (It could rise, of course, but I think weakness is coming).
