Thursday 4/16/26. Intraday Market Direction: Nasdaq

$ $ $

I show a picture of the Nasdaq composite on the 5-minute scale.

I don't see anything of interest. I drew several trendlines connecting the bottoms. It slopes upward as if the index is going exponential.

Other than that, the chart lacks details to comment on individual patterns.

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.

Wednesday 4/15/26. A Look at the Chart Pattern Indicator (CPI)

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.

There's not a lot going on in this chart. I boxed in magenta overhead resistance created by peaks. The index is bumping up against that resistance. However, it could plow through that resistance . . . or it could drop.

The CPI is at 88 where 100 is the max. Often when it approaches 100, we see a sharp drop in the CPI but maybe not a corresponding drop in the index.

Because much of today's markets are driven by world events, I don't see anything on the chart that offers a clear prediction.
