I show a picture of bitcoin on the daily scale.
The cryptocurrency has struggled over the past year. According to yahoo, it's down 23% over that period and down 22% so far this year.
Let's look at some of the chart patterns shown in the chart, starting with AB, which is a double top. Line C is the confirmation line. When the coin closed below the line, it confirms the double top as valid. In this case, the coin (currency, really) only dropped to D, so the bearish pattern was a dud.
To the right of that, we see a head-and-shoulders top. I show that as LS (left shoulder), head, and right shoulder (RS). The coin made a substantial drop after this pattern confirmed. Confirmation happens when the coin closes below the low price posted between the head and right shoulder.
In green is another head-and-shoulders top, but it's not perfect. The right shoulder looks as if it has a birth defect. It's too far below the left shoulder, but in the markets, it's rare to find a perfect looking pattern. Regardless, the pattern confirms (closes below the green line) and the coin made a nice drop to 1 (so far).
Now, it appears the coin is forming a base, the sideways move fron the February low. There's the potential of a double bottom forming. You have two valleys (1, 2). If the coin closes above the red line, it would confirm the double bottom and suggest, but not guarantee, that the price of the currency will rise.
Alternatively, the coin could drop below support and plunge.

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 CPI is neutral. That shows by the vertical white bar on the far right of the chart, with a value of 59. The tariff issue is pushing around the index.
I show the indicator in the inset on the lower right of the chart. The indicator seems to be range bound as it bounces between the two violet horizontal lines.
The channel formed by the two lines suggests the indicator will rise to the top one. If that happens, it would mean the index is rising again. That rise might not last long, though.
Notice that the length of the top violet line matches the horizontal move of the index. Sooner or later, the horizontal move will breakout either upward or downward. The direction might depend on what Trump does. If he strikes Iran, the index could tumble, especially after Iran retaliates.
