The following patterns were found manually, not using Patternz. Mr. Bulkowski has excluded any securities he owns from appearing in the list. However, he may add any of the securities listed to his portfolio at any time, just as you can.
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.

I show a picture of the Nasdaq composite on the 5-minute scale.
Two chart patterns come to mind when I drew trendlines. The first, at A, is a up-sloping channel. Because they are sloping upward, they breakout downward most often (because it takes extra thrust to push the index above the top of the channel and it's easier to drop).
The second pattern is at B and it's called a descending broadening wedge. Those are rare but also harder to spot. They breakout upward 72% of the time, just as this one did.
Price has been sliding along the top trendline for about two weeks now. The chart pattern indicator has turned bearish and remains so. That suggests the market is weak and is going to fall. That notion is probably right for the daily charts. I don't know about intraday, though. This looks like it is going to rise tomorrow. That's a guess...

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.
After hovering in the neutral zone (white bars) for four times as long as in the bearish bars (red), the CPI turned to red again. That's the red bar on the far right of the chart.
Hidden beneath the bars is the signal line. That's the thin blue one at the bottom of the chart. I pasted an inset of the CPI on the top left of the chart for your viewing pleasure.
The indicator dropped to 29.3, which is bearish (below 35 is bearish). This reading suggests the index is going down, but it's not known for how long it might drop or even if it'll drop. Signals can change for up to a week, but it suggests weakness.

This is a chart of the Dow transports. It's busy, so let's go through it by the numbers and the letters.
123 is a confirmed triple bottom chart pattern. You might consider this a three rising valleys chart pattern. Whichever you pick, it's a bullish pattern.
The index climbed to form a flag at A. This pattern broke out downward to make a fourth bottom at, well, 4.
Looking ahead, I'd anticipate 4 finding a bottom right where it is. There's support setup by bottoms 123. Indeed, the index bounced off 4 and climbed.
Looking back, we see a unconfirmed double top at BD. I write unconfirmed because the index didn't close below horizontal red line C.
What does that mean? The twin peak pattern is just squiggles on a price chart. The index climbed from the low near the red line to the highest peak on the chart. The rise is a warning about waiting for confirmation.
E is another double top, which did confirm as a valid chart pattern. The index dropped to F before recovering. Twin peak E is how a double top is supposed to act (meaning price drops after confirmation).
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.

The following patterns were found manually, not using Patternz. Mr. Bulkowski has excluded any securities he owns from appearing in the list. However, he may add any of the securities listed to his portfolio at any time, just as you can.
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.

I show a picture of the Nasdaq composite on the 5-minute scale.
I drew a trendline under price action, beginning from the left to the right so that it skimmed most, but not all, valleys and peaks.
The line shows that recent price action is hovering just below the line.
Trend lines are indications of resistance. That means price may struggle to pierce that resistance. Resistance isn't a single price, but often a range or area of prices. Sometimes the stock will rise just above resistance or fall short of it (as in this case).
Often, once the index has cleared (risen above) the resistance, it soars and the line then acts as support should the index drop and return to (or near) the line. You can see this behaviour where the valleys to the left of Monday's gap found support at the red line and recently the line has acted as resistance to the upward move.
What does this mean for upcoming price movement? Hard to tell. Intraday movement isn't as easy to predict as daily or weekly movement. The struggle to pierce the line will see the index climb above the line...eventually.
It could happen tomorrow (Thursday) or it could take several more days, but I'm confident it will happen.

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 sits at 45, which is neutral. The chart reflects this by the vertical white bar on the far right of the chart.
The inset on the upper left of the chart shows the CPI dropping for about 2 weeks now, and then bouncing off the bottom. That changed a bearish signal to neutral. If the uptrend continues, look for a bullish reading.
Will it get there? Probably, but it could depend on politics and what damage the leaders do, or intend to do, to our economy.

At A, we see a nicely shaped broadening top chart pattern. I extended the bottom line to see how it matched recent price action.
A broadening top breaks out downward 40% of the time, which is what happened here at the lower end of the red trendline.
After that, the index bobbled up and down, eventually forming a potential head-and-shoulders top. I've identified the left shoulder (LS) and right one (RS). The index has to drop to B and close below the green line to signal a downward breakout. A breakout would confirm the pattern as valid. Otherwise, it's just squiggles on the price chart.
The picture is bearish and with Trump threatening action (tariffs) against our allies, it'll be bad for the US and bad for the markets.
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.
The following is based on an SFO article in December 2004 by John Seekinger, titled, "Take a two-dimensional approach." He offers these tips.
