Day traders expect a pullback in today’s price action
Posted 7:03 a.m. The Emini had a buy climax at the open that reversed down strongly from a wedge top. The 2 strong bear bars made the Emini Always In Short. Since yesterday’s bull channel was so tight, the odds are that the selloff will lead to a trading range rather than a bear trend. […]

Posted 7:12 a.m. The Emini got follow-through selling on the open, which happens about 50% of the time when there is a big gap down. There is a 75% chance of a trading range or early low of the day and only a 25% chance of a continued selloff. If there is a 2 hour […]

Futures trading strategy at resistance
Posted 7:05 a.m. Yesterday was a sell signal bar for a double top with the February 1 high, and for a wedge rally over the past 2 weeks. The odds were that today would trigger the short by going below yesterday’s low, and then traders would look for either a selloff or a reversal up. […]

Learn how to trade overbought price action
I will post around 7:03 a.m. The Emini gapped up and tested the top of the channel, but did not reverse down strongly. The 60 minute chart is overbought and TBTL sideways to down is likely to begin today or tomorrow. The bulls want the tight channel to continue up for many more days. That […]
