• My Prediction

• Swing Traders: Pivot Points
• Earnings, Chart Patterns & Industries

My Prediction

This is a picture of the Nasdaq composite on the daily scale.

I don't have a lot to say about this chart. I drew a trendline connecting the majority of the valleys, just to show how price is climbing. That's line B.

At A, we see the index has gapped upward to a new all-time high.

On this chart, the index has climbed at a good clip since the early April low. What worries me is that there has not been a significant retrace of that climb. When will it happen and how far will price drop? I leave you to ponder that.

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 10/23/25. Intraday Market Direction: Nasdaq

$ $ $

I show a 5-day picture of the Nasdaq composite. I think the scale is 10 minutes per bar.

ABC is a buying opportunity called a triple bottom. It's a chart pattern. Buy when the index closes above the top of it. Target would be the height of the pattern (from lowest valley to highest peak between the three bottoms) added to the top of the pattern. Eyeballing it says that price met the target.

Line D highlights a new chart pattern that I call a multi-peak. It often behaves as a bull trap, showing a bullish pattern near the end, enticing bullish investors to buy before reversing and starting a move lower.

I don't see any bullish pattern near the end of the multi-peak but the resulting drop is pronounced. See the link for more details on this pattern.

Wednesday 10/22/25. 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.

There's not a lot to say about the chart. The CPI is 86.7 which is bullish. You can see the bullishness on the far right of the chart, as a vertical green bar. Signals can change for up to a week, so the green bar could disappear.

We saw a signal last week, when the day after the big plunge (circled in red) turned the CPI bar green. In this chart, it's white (neutral).

The inset at the bottom, red square, shows the CPI line without signal changes.

The only thing left to say is that the CPI is near the top of the scale (100). Often that suggests a plunge in the CPI followed by the index dropping but not plunging. You can see an example of that in the July period where the index peaked and plunged. The index dropped for a day or two, a small decline, but then continued rising. I like to say that once you see a repeatable pattern forming, it stops working so you can't depend on it. In this case, I think the index will continue rising, but that's just a guess.

Monday 10/20/25. Market Monday: The Week Ahead

• My Prediction
• A Brief Look Back

• Swing Traders: Pivot Points
• Earnings, Chart Patterns & Industries

My Prediction

This is a chart of the Dow industrials on the weekly scale. It shows the behavior of the index from the Biden presidency to the Trump term.

The vertical green line is the approximate date where Trump was inaugurated. He made noises about imposing tariffs and down went the index. As the chart shows, the index bottomed at D.

The twin peaks AB is a double top. It confirms as valid when the index closed below the horizontal red line at C.

Since bottoming at D, the index has soared. More tariff noise caused the index to plunge again just days ago. In a few weeks, when the new tariffs are imposed (Nov 1, assuming Trump doesn't change his mind), we could see more market turbulence. If you missed the recent dip, you may have another opportunity to buy-the-dip as we near November 1.

Check the index before the close each day, and if you see a large decline, place buy orders that same day on your favorite securities. In the coming days and weeks, you'll likely see a recovery (no guarantee, of course).

Thursday 10/16/25. Intraday Market Direction: Nasdaq

$ $ $

I show a picture of the Nasdaq composite for the last 5 days.

Anatomy of a dead-cat bounce (DCB) in stocks, compared to the index.

A, with the slanting red line, is the event decline. It's the drop when news hits the wires and the market reacts. In stocks, an event decline lasts an average of 7 days (calendar not trading days) and drops price an average of 31%. It's a serious drop (I only catalogued drops of 15% or higher).

B is the bounce. If price gapped down during the event decline, in 22% of the cases, the gap closes (price bounces high enough to cover the gap). In 3 months only 38% have closed the gap. In 6 months, the total rises to 58%. So the event is serious and the market's reaction to it is serious.

C is the post bounce decline. In stocks we see them tumble again, bottoming 18% below the low posted during the event decline (during the drop to the bottom of line A). The new drop averages 49 days to hit bottom at C.

Companies suffering a DCB because of a bad earnings surprise can help stop the decline and hasten a recovery by announcing a share buyback. The good news tends to put a floor under the stock and we often see a faster recovery.

Large event declines will tend to see larger bounces.

Wednesday 10/15/25. 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 most recent signal from the indicator is bullish, as the vertical green bar on the far right of the chart shows.

Big moves one day can flip the signal from bearish to bullish, like it did today (Tuesday). That's because signals can change for up to a week.

I show the rise in the inset, lower right corner.

Friday's big drop on Trump Tariff worries remind me of a dead-cat bounce event pattern. That's when a security makes a big drop, bounces, and then eases even lower over the coming weeks. With the indices, such as shown here, it's a bit different because the plunge isn't 15% (it was like 3.5%, for the Nasdaq and less for the other indices). However, today and yesterday might be the bounce with a decline resuming.

I suspect that's unlikely unless Trump ratchets up the conflict with China. November 1, when the 100% tariffs are set to be imposed will see Trump blink, I think, and back down. Maybe both sides can make nice.

If not, then look for the markets to spike up and down. Bring your own seatbelt. You may need it.

Monday 10/13/25. 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. It looks complex, but it's not.

Let's start with CD, which is a double top. It confirmed as a valid chart pattern when the index closed below the low between the two peaks. That happened at E, shown by the violet line.

B shows how today's (Friday's) close, based on Trump's China tariff fears, sent the index plunging through the red trendline. I drew the red trendline under the price valleys. Trendlines show areas of support.

Point A is a knot which I've proven is a potent source of support or resistance. That support/resistance doesn't last forever and price could blow through it anyway, but it looks like a good short-term down target.

I have some cash in one of my accounts. I'll probably spend it on an ETF next week, hopefully just as the snapback rally begins.

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

Many options expire this week, so traders will be looking to close out their positions, and that suggests increased volatility (large daily price swings).

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.

Thursday 10/9/25. Intraday Market Direction: Nasdaq

$ $ $

I show a picture of the Nasdaq composite on the 10-minute scale.

I drew three red trendlines under the valleys as price moved higher, just to see their slope. Of course, it matters where you start and end the lines, but all three have approximately the same slope.

Peaks AB form a double top. It confirms as a valid chart pattern when the index closed below the valley between the two peaks. Confirmation changed the twin peaks into a valid chart pattern.

After confirmation, the index continued lower, giving traders a big profit opportunity. The drop exceeded the measure rule target, which is the height of the double top (from A to C) subtracted from C.

Looking forward, I'm tempted to write that the same retrace-rise will continue, and it might, but often once you notice a cyclic pattern, the cycle ends.

Wednesday 10/8/25. 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.

Not much has changed from a week ago. The indicator is still waffling between neutral and bearish. Today (Tuesday night), it's bearish with a reading of 32.3.

If you look back at February, you'll see the same kind of white-red bar combination. Notice how the index dropped (to the April low) after the last bearish signal. I don't know if we can expect that kind of decline now.

Indeed, we could see the indicator bounce back to neutral even as the index rises. I'd be cautious, though. There is going to be a retrace, but I don't know when or how big it'll be.

Monday 10/6/25. 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. Let's talk about B first.

B is not a chart of a triple top. Why? Because the index had to close below the lowest valley between the three peaks to confirm it as a valid triple top. Instead, price climbed above the top of the pattern.

Rather, the pattern is an inverted roof chart pattern. That pattern looks like a roof upside down. Price can enter and exit the pattern from either up or down. The breakout direction is random, at 51% upward.

I don't highlight pattern A much nor do I search for them. It's a V-bottom. Due to the way the pattern is defined, the breakout is upward every time. However, it's a mid-list performer (ranking 24 out of 39). The failure rate is 19%, meaning 19% of patterns will fail to see price rise at least 5% above the top of the pattern.

What does this mean? It suggests a continued rise in price but it may struggle to make that climb. The prior peak (in August) will put up resistance to an advance, so it has to push through that.

Thursday 10/2/25. Intraday Market Direction: Nasdaq

$ $ $

I show a picture of the Nasdaq composite intraday for 5 days.

A triple bottom appears on the chart, shown here by the red line. The green line is what's called a confirmation line. A close above the green line validates the chart pattern as a real triple bottom and signals that price will rise (but not how far).

At B, we see a common occurrence, called a throwback. That's when a chart pattern (a triple bottom in this case) breaks out upward but price soon retraces back to, or close to, the breakout price (the breakout price is the price of the green line). After a throwback completes, the security resumes the rise 65% of the time.

Indeed, the composite climbed on this chart. The rise appears to have met the target (I eyeballed this) which is the height of the triple bottom (from red to green lines) added to the price of the green line.
