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 10/9/25. Intraday Market Direction: Nasdaq

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.
