I show a picture of the Nasdaq composite on the 5-minute scale.
I've labeled some of the chart patterns that appear on the 5-minute scale. Let's talk about the ascending triangle at A. Point A doesn't appear to close above the top red line, so it's not a breakout. Rather, the breakout in this pattern is downward.
So far, the drop hasn't been far enough to meet the target, but it's close. The target is the height of the triangle (tallest, at the start) subtracted from the breakout price.
The target is just a number. It's a way of calculating the probability of the index reaching the target. In other words, the target is not a magnet sucking price to 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 CPI has been bearish for about three weeks now, but is currently neutral. The value is 44.4, on a scale of 0 to 100 with bearish at 35 and below, and bullish at 65 and above.
The neutral bar is the vertical white one on the far right of the chart. It has bounced off the bottom on hope the Iran war will end.
I don't believe it. I think the index will drop again when unfavorable news about oil hits the waves.

I show the Dow transports on the daily scale.
Peaks AB highlight a weird-looking double top with peak B slightly below peak A (they should be near the same price). The pattern confirms as a valid chart pattern when the index closes below the low at C.
I drew a green line from the recent bottoms to the left and circled support. This support might send the index soaring, but I have my doubts. More likely is that Trump's war will force oil prices to continue rising and that will hurt the US economy. A bad economy will hurt companies and their outlook, keeping a rise in the indices muted for a time, perhaps months.
Even if the war were to end tomorrow, it would still take months for the damaged oil infrastructure to be repaired. That means the price of oil will drop but not as low as it was before the war. Yes, some of the floating supply will be used up but restoring service to what it was will keep oil prices high.
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.
There are a few chart patterns highlighted on the chart. AB and DE are a pair of double bottoms. Pattern DE confirms when the index closes above the blue line. It's hard to tell but it appears to happen at spike F. Confirmation means the squiggles on the chart become valid chart patterns.
In this case, the move upward lasted only to F before the index reversed, busting the upward breakout.
AB is a double bottom but price bar C is not a minor low but a continuation of the upward move from the 3/13 close. It's not part of the double bottom (to form a triple bottom). Point G confirms the pattern but the rise after confirmation is meager.
Since then, the index has tumbled. My guess is it'll continue lower as Iran hits back on the oil sector.

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 indicator has climbed from bearish to neutral, with a reading of 43.2 on a scale from 0 to 100.
I show the indicator without signal changes in the inset on the lower right of the chart.
At A, we see the CPI climbing above the brown trendline. What does that mean? It could signal a bullish turn, but my feeling is that the longer-term effects of Trump's war with Iran will force the world economy to suffer. We've already seen gasoline prices climb. Those prices are fast to rise but will be slow to drop. Iran can continue to block the Straight of Hormuz for a long time, certainly months and perhaps even years. Trump knows that if he sends in American military ships, they'll be hit my missiles and perhaps sunk.
So even though the CPI has turned more bullish than it was, the longer term effects will unfold to make the US economy suffer. That's why I flipped my targets to down from up (see the box near top of page).

At A, we see what appears to be a head-and-shoulders top but is unconfirmed. That means the index hasn't closed below the low between the head and right shoulder (R). I show the price at A with a red horizontal line.
At B, we see a triple bottom. I highlight the three bottoms with a green line.
At C, we see the inverse, a triple top. After both triples (B and C) complete, we see good moves, especially after the triple bottom.
What does all of this mean? The head-and-shoulder top, if confirmed, will mean the market will fall. It may not drop far, and there's no guarantee that the pattern will confirm as valid anyway.
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.

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.
A chart pattern called a head-and-shoulders bottom appears as LS (left shoulder), head, and RS (right shoulder). At point A, the pattern confirms as valid when the index closes above the red neckline. The resulting rise was mouth-watering, to B.
BC is another chart pattern called a double top. It confirms when the index closes below the blue line, D. In this case, so far, the index hasn't dropped far. We'll have to wait and see if it drops more.

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.
Despite being thrown around by events in the middle east and the price of oil, the CPI remains bearish with a reading of 16.7 on a scale of 0 to 100.
That's clear on the chart with the vertical red bar on the far right of the chart.
The inset shows the downward trend of the CPI from the peak in February. What I've noticed about the CPI is that once it is at or near 0, it tends to bounce off it. However, the index may not respond by climbing in concert with a rising CPI.
My guess is the CPI will continue to be depressed (bearish). Once the war ends, then look for the indices to spike upward. Consider this (now and in the coming days) as a buying opportunity.

I show the S&P 500 index on the daily scale.
There's not a lot to say about this chart. Curve A shows a chart pattern called a rounding top or a multi-peak.
The multi-peak is bearish but the rounded top is bullish if the index rises above the top of it. I suspect, and it's just a guess, that the rounded top is the more valid of the two patterns. Of course, it all depends on what Trump does. A lot of that will be related to the price of oil.
Line B shows support. I base that one the depth of the two trendline touches on the left of the line. It's meager, but it's there. Maybe we'll see the index rebound off that line. However, the index could plunge through it, depending on Trump's war.

The current CPI is bearish, at 24.4. The vertical red bar on the far right of the chart shows the bearish indication after being neutral for a few weeks.
The inset on the lower right of the chart shows the indicator without signal changes.
What happens to the markets will depend on how Trump's war progresses. Iran is fighting back and targeting energy infrastructure in multiple countries. If that continues, the price of oil will rise more than it already has. That means the price at the gas pump will climb and anything dependent on energy will also cost more.
If all of that plays out, the markets won't like it (meaning look for more drops coming).
It's likely Trump won't get his regime change in Iran but will be rewarded with lots and lots of cheap drones that do extensive damage, including more people killed.

This is a chart of the Dow transports on the daily scale.
The only relevant chart pattern is the most recent one, highlighted here at A.
It's a symmetrical triangle. However, it's a flawed pattern. There's only one minor low on the bottom. The trendline cutting through price doesn't count as a touch.
On the top, you see two minor highs when I prefer to see three or more (same for the bottom).
Even so, the narrowing price movement is clear. The breakout direction is unknown. A downward breakout could see price fall dramatically and far. An upward breakout may see price struggle to rise.
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.
