In the table below, the red and green colors are based on the historical breakout direction for the associated chart pattern. If a high and tight flag appears, the start and end dates highlight the flagpole only and not the flag.

Thursday 12/4/25. Bitcoin Fall

$ $ $

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.

Wednesday 12/3/25. A Look at the Chart Pattern Indicator (CPI)

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).

Options Expiration

No options expire this week.

Swing Traders: Pivot Points

The following is based on an SFO article in December 2004 by John Seekinger, titled, "Take a two-dimensional approach." He offers these tips.

• Seekinger doesn't look at the range of S2 to R2 as support and resistance levels. Rather, he considers them oversold (S) and overbought (R) areas.
• S2 to R2 range of values across daily, weekly, and monthly periods: If two values are close together then they lend more significance to the area.
• If the market trends on day 1, the odds rise tremendously that the market will be range bound between daily S1 and daily R1 the next day.
• In a quiet market when traders are waiting for an important earnings announcement or economic report, look for daily R1 and S1 levels to hold and for the market to return to the daily pivot.
• A move outside of daily R1 or S1 usually does not mean a breakout.
• The odds suggest that the entire week's price action will remain between weekly R2 and S2.
• Avoid going long when the market moves above weekly R2 (it's overbought) and avoid going short when price moves below weekly S2 (oversold).
• Consider going short at weekly R1 or long at weekly S1 with a profit objective of the weekly pivot.
• Consider going long at weekly S2 or short at weekly R2 with a profit objective of weekly S1 or R1, respectively.

Here are the formulas:

Earnings, Chart Patterns & Industries

Earnings season is either underway or should be starting soon. The sessions could be more volatile.

Mutual funds will begin dividend distributions and rebalancing their portfolios for the approaching year end (starts in late November).
