I show a picture of the Nasdaq composite on the 5-minute scale.
There are a few chart patterns highlighted on the chart. AB and DE are a pair of double bottoms. Pattern DE confirms when the index closes above the blue line. It's hard to tell but it appears to happen at spike F. Confirmation means the squiggles on the chart become valid chart patterns.
In this case, the move upward lasted only to F before the index reversed, busting the upward breakout.
AB is a double bottom but price bar C is not a minor low but a continuation of the upward move from the 3/13 close. It's not part of the double bottom (to form a triple bottom). Point G confirms the pattern but the rise after confirmation is meager.
Since then, the index has tumbled. My guess is it'll continue lower as Iran hits back on the oil sector.

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 has climbed from bearish to neutral, with a reading of 43.2 on a scale from 0 to 100.
I show the indicator without signal changes in the inset on the lower right of the chart.
At A, we see the CPI climbing above the brown trendline. What does that mean? It could signal a bullish turn, but my feeling is that the longer-term effects of Trump's war with Iran will force the world economy to suffer. We've already seen gasoline prices climb. Those prices are fast to rise but will be slow to drop. Iran can continue to block the Straight of Hormuz for a long time, certainly months and perhaps even years. Trump knows that if he sends in American military ships, they'll be hit my missiles and perhaps sunk.
So even though the CPI has turned more bullish than it was, the longer term effects will unfold to make the US economy suffer. That's why I flipped my targets to down from up (see the box near top of page).
