Bull channel testing the bull trendline
Posted 7:00 a.m. The bulls had a breakout above yesterday’s trading range and strong follow-through. This reaffirms the always in long condition. The breakout is big enough so the there probably will be buyers below for at least one more leg up. With so much time spent sideways over the past week, this breakout might […]

Bear trend channel within a trading range
I will post around 7:03 a.m. The Emini had a strong bear breakout on the open and is always in short. However, this is climactic selling and the market is far below the moving average. The stop is far away so the risk has increased. The computers have to reduce their risk and this means […]

Monthly sell signal bar
Posted 6:56 a.m. The bulls tried for an opening reversal at the 60 minute moving average and the bears wanted a breakout pull back short below yesterday’s low. Instead, the day began with a limit order market in the middle of the month’s range. Traders learning how to trade the markets need to be patient […]

Trading range and in breakout mode
Posted 6:50 a.m. The Emini opened with a big gap up and a bull breakout, and continued the always in long rally from early Friday.

Sell climax in a bear trend
Poster 6:49 a.m. Yesterday’s low tested the bottom of the wedge channel that began on March 18. The FOMC rally was the 2nd leg up in the wedge. Traders learning to trade the markets know that wedge trend reversals typically have at least 2 legs down, and the first leg often ends at the bottom […]

Bear trend day
I am traveling today and was unable to post, but I will post tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday. The Emini sold off strongly today and is deciding whether the 20% correction has begun, or instead if it is forming a triangle on the daily chart for one more new high before the correction begins. The month […]

Yesterday was a bear reversal day on the daily chart and a sell setup for a lower high major trend reversal. When the Emini traded below yesterday’s low, it triggered the […]
