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 3/26/26. Intraday Market Direction: Nasdaq

$ $ $

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.

The following table shows where Fibonacci retrace values of the day's high-low range are plus pivot points, calculated on the Nasdaq composite, sorted by value. When several are near each other (small differences), the area might act as support or resistance.

Wednesday 3/25/26. 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 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.
