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 most recent signal, shown as a vertical red bar on the far right of the chart, is bearish, at 30.9. It has been bearish for just a few days, so the signal can change for up to a week.
The inset shows that the CPI has been trending sideways for about two weeks now. Because it's bearish, I'm assuming that it'll remain bearish.
Tomorrow (Wednesday), the FED will probably drop interest rates a quarter percent. My guess is that the market will drop on the news, sending the CPI even lower.

This is a chart of the Dow industrials on the daily scale.
I drew the red trendlines, connecting the points with straight segments instead of a curved line.
Notice the difference in slope from B to A (a steeper slope), suggesting the market is getting more excited.
I also highlight a double top chart pattern at CD It confirmed as valid when the index closed below the lowest valley between the two peaks (E, the green line). That happens at F. However, the drop wasn't far and the index climbed to bust the downward breakout when it closed above the top of the chart pattern.
Based on the chart, it looks to me like the uptrend will continue.
The following is a brief review of how the markets performed over time. The numbers refer to the close-to-close move in the Dow industrials.
Many options expire this week, so traders will be looking to close out their positions, and that suggests increased volatility (large daily price swings).
The following is based on an SFO article in December 2004 by John Seekinger, titled, "Take a two-dimensional approach." He offers these tips.

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.

I show a picture of the Nasdaq composite on the 5-minute scale over five days.
At AB, we see a double top. It confirms as a valid chart pattern when the index closes below the horizontal green line at C. In this example, the index didn't drop far, less than the height of the pattern projected downward (called the measure rule).
The two diverging red lines highlight another chart pattern called a broadening bottom. This one breaks out upward, reverses, and busts the upward breakout by dropping and closing below the bottom of the broadening formation.
The index didn't drop far before reversing again and busting the downward move, too (called a double bust). The index soared to D where it peaked.
The index has tumbled to E before recovering going into the close.
We can see all of that on the chart but what does it say about future movement?
This is a guess, of course, but because price is rising at day's end today, I'm assuming it'll continue rising tomorrow. It could rise far enough to form a double top pattern, similar to the one at AB.
Point E appears to be resting on support that's strong enough to prevent price from dropping, hence my focus on a rising price trend. Keep in mind that I could be wrong about all of this. Intraday price movement is noisy and hard to predict, but maybe it'll help your trading.

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 43.5. A neutral reading is between 35 and 65. Outside those ranges means it's bearish and bullish, respectively.
The inset shows the indicator without signal changes. The only thing I can say about the current reading is that it's closer to the bearish side than the bullish, so be cautious with trades.
Also, signals can change for up to a week. Today's neutral reading can flip from bearish to bullish and back again.

This is a chart of the Dow transports on the daily scale.
I show several patterns highlighted. At AB, we see a double top. This one confirmed as a valid chart pattern. The downward breakout saw the index fall to E, which is a good showing for the double top.
Pattern C is a diamond top.
Patterns D and E are both double bottoms.
What do the patterns say about what's to come? The diamond is the most recent pattern on the chart. The breakout, depending on how you draw the trendlines around the pattern, is downward. The index is now pulling back. The link describes how price rises 53% of the time after a pullback, so look for the index to rise.
However, 53 is close to random (50), so we should wait to see if a new trend develops (either up, down, or sideways).
The following is a brief review of how the markets performed over time. The numbers refer to the close-to-close move in the Dow industrials.
No options expire this week.

You can find setups based on a Fibonacci retrace by clicking on the link.
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.

I show a 4-day picture of the Nasdaq composite intraday.
The Adam & Eve double bottom is clear in the middle of the chart. The one-price bar spike is the Adam bottom and the wider Eve bottom is more rounded looking. It led to a nice rise in the index.
The double bottom is part of a larger pattern called an island bottom.
I drew a green trendline resting on two peaks. At A, the index has pierced the trendline moving up. However, the pierce isn't tall enough to signal a true upward breakout. We'll see what happens in the markets tomorrow.
