Wednesday 11/26/25. 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.

With the surge in the markets over the last few days, the CPI has climbed almost to its max (max 100, min 0), at 93.3. That means it can't rise much farther. In other words, such a high reading is bearish because the CPI will bounce off 100 and fall.

However, the index might not drop much. Look at A, which marks the most recent bearish turn. From A to the most recent green vertical bar, the drop is only 250 points (which might be considered large for the S&P).

A better example is the red and green pair in June (circled). The index eased lower but not by a lot.

So, I'm expecting a retrace but not a big one.

Monday 11/24/25. Market Monday: The Week Ahead

• My Prediction
• A Brief Look Back
• Options Expiration
• Swing Traders: Pivot Points
• Earnings, Chart Patterns & Industries

My Prediction

This is a chart of the Dow transports on the daily scale.

AB is a chart pattern called a double top. Notice the downward move after the pattern confirms (price closes below the value of the low between the two peaks). CD is the reverse, called a double bottom. Price rises to E, which looks to hit the target suggested by the double bottom. Pattern E is a diamond top.

Pattern F is a symmetrical triangle. Symmetrical triangles are known for their indecision as to the breakout direction (I'm talking about busted patterns). In this case, we see the pattern triple bust (more, really). Finally, G is an ascending triangle. If you have any questions about these patterns, see the associate link.

What all of these patterns tell me is that price doesn't know which way to go. You don't see patterns form when price trends, but you do see them form when price moves sideways. A sideways move is what we've been seeing since July.

I don't see anything on this chart to suggest a trend forming. It will, eventually, but I don't see it yet.

A Brief Look Back

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.

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:

Thursday 11/20/25. Intraday Market Direction: Nasdaq

$ $ $

I show a picture of the Nasdaq composite on the 5-minute scale.

AB is a chart pattern called a double bottom. It confirms as a valid chart pattern when the index closes above the green line at E.

C is what's called a throwback. Price "throws back" to the breakout price before resuming it's upward move. It happens 58% of the time, so that's about random. If you really believe it's a random happening, then don't be surprised when your trade is stopped out during one just before price moves higher.

Price climbs to D which is well above the measure rule for the double bottom. What's that mean? To get a price target, add the height of the double bottom to the top of it and that gives a reasonable target to shoot for. Depending on the type of double bottom (Adam or Eve combinations of valleys), price reaches the target ~73% of the time.

F is another chart pattern called a broadening top. This example is well shaped. This one had a downward breakout and price missed it's measure-rule target. When it busted (a close above the top of the broadening top), price zipped higher in a nice move.

Wednesday 11/19/25. 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.

Wednesday's blog posts are my favorite because there's usually something to say.

Please turn your attention to the chart of the CPI.

The current reading is bearish, at 17.2. Bearish is 35 or below on a scale of 0 to 100. Signals can change for up to a week, so keep that in mind.

The bearish signal started 5 trading day ago, according to the chart. That's a bit misleading because 3 days ago, for example, we could have had a big downward move which sucked down the value from 5 days ago.

If you don't understand that, it's okay. Just don't try to trade using this indicator and you'll be fine. Use it as background information only.

Returning to the chart, the inset in the lower right shows the CPI without signal changes (red and green bars) displayed. Circled in magenta on the left is what happened the last time we saw the same shape as we see in the right circle.

After the left circle, notice how the index climbed (circle on the index). That circled move was a few days higher.

What does all of this mean? My guess is that the downward move is coming to an end, at least for a few days. This might be a buying opportunity (buy the dip).

Monday 11/17/25. Market Monday: The Week Ahead

• My Prediction
• A Brief Look Back
• Options Expiration
• Swing Traders: Pivot Points
• Earnings, Chart Patterns & Industries

My Prediction

This is a chart of the Dow utilities on the daily scale.

LS, Head, and RS are three pieces of what appears to be a head-and-shoulders top chart pattern. But it has problems.

The AB distance from the green line should be similar, not exact, but close. And they are not.

LS and RS should be near the same price and they are, which is good. The head-to-shoulder distance looks reasonable, given the size of the left shoulder. The armpit on the right shoulder doesn't dip far enough to mimic the left side.

With good looking head-and-shoulders, there should be symmetry that's obvious, and that's missing here.

Of course, no pattern is perfect and this is far from perfect. Regardless, it is bearish. If price drops much farther, it'll confirm as a weird looking but valid chart pattern.

A Brief Look Back

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.

Wednesday 11/12/25. 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 has shot upward as the inset in the lower right corner shows. That's because of a turn three days ago when more bullish patterns appeared in the indicator than bearish ones.

I expect the signal to remain, meaning signals can change for up to a week but usually remain in place after three days.

The signal change chart, which is the green, white, and red stripes, show that we're bullish with a reading of 87.1. Values 65 and above are bullish (green bars), 35 and below are bearish (red bars), and signals in between are neutral (white bars).

We may have a few more days of an up move here but when the CPI nears 100 (it's peak), it often tumbles. That would coincide with the index rising to match the height of the peak in early November, potentially making a double top. It might not confirm (close below the valley between the two peaks).

It might turn into a 2B pattern where the second peak rises slightly above the first before reversing. The drop that follow usually isn't severe.

So, I'm looking for the index to continue rising to, oh, Friday (Target, the horizontal red line) before reversing.

Monday 11/10/25. Market Monday: The Week Ahead

• My Prediction
• A Brief Look Back
• Options Expiration
• Swing Traders: Pivot Points
• Earnings, Chart Patterns & Industries

My Prediction

I show the S&P 500 index on the weekly scale.

If you're an Elliott waver (believe in it) then I'd be looking for an ABC correction.

I show that hypothetically as ABC on the chart. It's a stair-step decline that happens after a strong move up (5 waves, 3 up and 2 retraces). I show the five waves with numbers 1 through 5.

Because I'm not a fan of Elliott, I'm just guessing here, but I do expect a retrace in the S&P index. Let me note that the duration and extent of the decline on the chart is not a prediction. I just drew it to show what the ABC looks like.

A Brief Look Back

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.

For the Week...

Year to Date...

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

Thursday 11/6/25. Market Direction: Nasdaq

$ $ $

I show a picture of the Nasdaq composite on the monthly scale.

I didn't see anything on the intraday chart worth remarking on so I flipped to the "all data" scale. It appears to be from about 1985.

I was struck by the percentage change over the period shown. The green box at the top of the chart says 23,399%. One dollar invested in the Nasdaq composite would be, um, wonderful. Of course, to make that kind of gain requires holding for 40 years. It highlights the value of buy-and-hold for the long term.

If you're a day trader, consider splitting your portfolio into intraday trades and buy-and-hold investments. One day you'll burn out from day trading (perhaps as you near retirement) and want a trading style that takes almost no work and yields tremendous gains (with additional risk).

Wednesday 11/5/25. 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 bearish more than a week ago. The current value is 14.3, where 0 is the lowest it can go. Bearish is a reading below 35.

The bearish signal won't change, meaning that signals can change for up to a week. This signal is older than a week.

The inset, pictured in the red square in the lower right, shows the CPI line without signal changes. The only caution I can offer is that when the CPI value is that low, it tends to bounce higher. That bounce will follow the index higher, too.

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.
