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.

Wednesday 3/4/26. A Look at the Chart Pattern Indicator (CPI)

Picture of the chart pattern indicator

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 current CPI is bearish, at 24.4. The vertical red bar on the far right of the chart shows the bearish indication after being neutral for a few weeks.

The inset on the lower right of the chart shows the indicator without signal changes.

What happens to the markets will depend on how Trump's war progresses. Iran is fighting back and targeting energy infrastructure in multiple countries. If that continues, the price of oil will rise more than it already has. That means the price at the gas pump will climb and anything dependent on energy will also cost more.

If all of that plays out, the markets won't like it (meaning look for more drops coming).

It's likely Trump won't get his regime change in Iran but will be rewarded with lots and lots of cheap drones that do extensive damage, including more people killed.
