Market Overview: S&P 500 Emini Futures
The market formed a weekly Emini outside bull bar testing near the all-time high. The bulls must create a strong breakout above the all-time high (Dec 6) with follow-through buying to increase the odds of a sustained move. The bears want a reversal from a lower high major trend reversal and a double top (Dec 6).

The Weekly S&P 500 Emini chart

- This week’s Emini candlestick was a big outside bull bar closing near its high.
- Last week, we said traders would see if the bears could create a follow-through bear testing near the 20-week EMA, or if the market would trade slightly lower, but close with a long tail below or with a bull body instead.
- The market traded slightly lower early in the week but reversed significantly higher.
- The bears wanted a deeper pullback but were unable to create follow-through selling.
- The recent 2 bear bars had overlapping ranges indicating the bears are not yet strong.
- They see the current move (Jun 27) as a buy vacuum retest of the prior trend’s extreme high (Dec 6).
- They want a reversal from a lower high major trend reversal and a double top (Dec 6).
- They must create strong consecutive bear bars to show they are back in control.
- The bulls see the selloff (Apr 7) forming a major higher low and want a resumption of the trend.
- They must create a strong breakout above the all-time high (Dec 6) with follow-through buying to increase the odds of a sustained move.
- Since this week’s candlestick was a bull bar closing near its high, it can be a buy signal bar for next week.
- The market could still trade at least a little higher.
- The market is Always In Long.
- The buying pressure since the April 7 low has been stronger (strong bull bars closing near their highs) than the weaker selling pressure (bear bars with limited follow-through selling).
- The recent pullback was weak and mostly sideways which increased the odds of another leg up.
- For now, traders will see if the bulls can create a strong retest of the all-time high (Dec 6) followed by a breakout above.
- Or will the market trade slightly higher, but stall around the December 6 high area instead?
The Daily S&P 500 Emini chart

- The market tested the 20-day EMA early in the week but lacked follow-through selling. The market reversed higher for the rest of the week.
- Last week, we said if a pullback forms but remains shallow and sideways, holding around the 20- or 200-day EMA, the odds of another leg up will increase after the pullback.
- So far, the bears have not been able to create strong follow-through selling trading below the 20-day EMA.
- Previously, the bulls got a strong reversal in a tight bull channel.
- They see the selloff forming a major higher low (Apr 7) and want the broad bull channel to continue.
- They want a retest of the all-time high followed by a breakout above. The December 6 high could be tested soon.
- If the market trades lower, they want the 20-day EMA to act as support followed by at least a small sideways to up leg to retest the current leg extreme high (now Jun 27).
- The bears see the current move as a retest of the prior trend extreme high (Dec 6).
- They want a reversal from a lower high major trend reversal and a wedge pattern (May 2, May 19, and Jun 27).
- They want a TBTL (Ten Bars, Two Legs) pullback lasting a few weeks.
- They see the recent sideways trading forming a final flag and the current move forming a potential buy climax.
- They must create consecutive bear bars closing near their lows trading far below the 20-day EMA to increase the odds of a deeper pullback.
- The move from the April 21 low is in a tight bull channel which means strong bulls.
- The market is Always In Long.
- The current move up is strong enough for traders to expect at least a small sideways to up leg to retest the trend extreme high (Jun 27) after a small pullback.
- For now, traders will see if the bulls can create a retest and breakout above the December 6 high.
- Or will the market trade slightly higher but stall around the December 6 high area instead?
