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.

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.

2025 Forecast

Here's the updated 2025 market forecast, presented in slider format.

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:
