I show a picture of the Nasdaq composite on the 5-minute scale.
Let's go from left to right when discussing chart patterns. I didn't show all of them but the first is a double bottom. This is an Adam & Adam double bottom. Adam refers to the shape of the bottom (narrow, long, sometimes a one-bar price spike).
Next is a multi-peak pattern. I see this a lot with price dropping some and a bullish pattern appearing. Following that, we see price rise for a time before price plunges.
We see that behavior here. Price drops and forms a bullish triple bottom (but not a classic example of one). Then the index rises only to tumble at the next day's opening.
We see a triple bottom, which are three bottoms near the same price. It becomes a valid triple bottom when the index closes above the top of it. That happens when the index forms a potential triple bottom. That one hasn't confirmed (no close yet above the top of the pattern).
Finally a double bottom appears on the far right of the chart. Price rises far enough to confirm the pattern as valid. With a new day opening tomorrow (Thursday), it's likely the chart resets. By that, I mean the index could gap open down or up, potentially negating a chart pattern from the prior day. That's especially true when political words and a war push things around.

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.

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 indicator is neutral, with a reading of 41.7. That reading appears visually with white bars on the far right of the chart.
The inset shows what appears to be a double top in the indicator. I don't believe chart patterns work for the CPI, but if this one does, then expect the CPI to turn bearish.
The index might not drop much but you should see weakness in the general market over the coming days. Remember that signal can change for up to a week, so what is neutral today could turn bullish if the market jumps a lot higher (or bear after a index plunge).
