There is now an IOI (inside-outside-inside) pattern on the daily chart &#8212; an IOI Breakout Mode pattern. With today being the final trading day of the year, there is an increased chance of a trend day. Even if today is a trading range day, there is an increased chance of a strong trend up or down in the final hour of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bulls want the year to close on its high. That would increase the chance of a gap up on Monday, which would create a gap up to a new all-time high on the daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly charts. I suspect that has never happened before, but I did not check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bears want today to trade below yesterday&#8217;s low to trigger the daily sell signal. If today gaps down, there will be a 3-day island top. The bears want the year to close at least 50 points down from the high. That is what is needed to create a conspicuous tail on the monthly and yearly candlesticks. If they get it, it would increase the chance of a reversal down to 3500 in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At a minimum, the bears want the week to close below the open, which was a magnet for the final 2 hours yesterday. They would prefer December to close below the open of the month, but the open might be too far below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Overnight Emini Globex trading <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Emini is down 2 points in the Globex session. However, it is just above yesterday&#8217;s low, and today therefore still might gap down on the daily chart. If there is a gap down, it will likely be small. Small gaps typically close in the 1st hour and are insignificant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bears want today to trade below yesterday&#8217;s low, which would trigger the sell signal. They then want a big bear day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there is an increased chance, given the IOI and the importance of the final trading day of the year, big trend days come only about 20% of the time. It is still more likely that today will be like most recent days, and spend a lot of time going sideways. Traders might be waiting for the US Georgia election on January 5, before deciding on the direction of the next move on the daily chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to remember that the bulls want the year to close on its high. This is true even if today trades below yesterday&#8217;s low in the 1st hour. There is an increased chance of a trend day, in either direction, on the final day of the year and with an IOI Breakout Mode Pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Yesterday&#8217;s setups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Emini-weak-bear-channel.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Emini-weak-bear-channel-680x383.png\" alt=\"Emini weak bear channel and ioi breakout mode\n\" class=\"wp-image-110943\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Emini-weak-bear-channel-680x383.png 680w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Emini-weak-bear-channel-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Emini-weak-bear-channel-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Emini-weak-bear-channel-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Emini-weak-bear-channel.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"caption\">Here are several reasonable stop entry setups from yesterday.

However, there have been 3 pushes up from the December 1 low. That wedge is nested within a bigger wedge that began on November 4. A nested wedge usually attracts profit-taking. Therefore, traders should expect a 2-week pullback to begin within the next couple weeks. However, it is important to note that a wedge rally often has a 4th leg up before there is a reversal. Also, when there is a bull channel, there is a 25% chance of a breakout above the channel, and an acceleration up into an even stronger trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Small Pullback Bull Trend is strong. A strong bull trend typically has to transition into a trading range before reversing into a bear trend. Consequently, even if there is a strong reversal down in January, it will probably only lead to a trading range and not a bear trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today so far is a bear inside day. It is therefore a potential sell signal bar. But it is coming after 6 consecutive bull bars, and it has a prominent tail below. It is therefore a lower probability sell setup. The bears will need either a big reversal down over the next couple days, or a micro double top to make traders think that profit taking is underway. Remember, there is an increased chance of Forex reversals at the start of a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Overnight EURUSD Forex trading<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The 5-minute chart of the EURUSD Forex market tested yesterday&#8217;s high and then sold off. But the selloff have several big bounces on the way down. That is trading range behavior. Also, it reversed up strongly from just above yesterday&#8217;s low, and is now back to the middle of the day&#8217;s range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Day traders have been buying and selling for small scalps. While the reversal up over the past hour has been strong, it will probably not continue up to above yesterday&#8217;s high. Therefore, day traders will continue to expect today to be an inside day and a trading range day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bulls want a 7th consecutive bull day. They also want the year to close on its high, which means above yesterday&#8217;s high. But 7 consecutive bull days is unusual. Also, the open is near the high of the day. While it is a magnet, today will more likely begin to go sideways within an hour, in a 30-pip range with the open being at the top of the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary of today&#8217;s S&amp;P Emini futures price action and what to expect tomorrow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Emini-outside-up-day-and-all-time-high-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Emini-outside-up-day-and-all-time-high-1-680x383.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-110991\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Emini-outside-up-day-and-all-time-high-1-680x383.png 680w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Emini-outside-up-day-and-all-time-high-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Emini-outside-up-day-and-all-time-high-1-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Emini-outside-up-day-and-all-time-high-1-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Emini-outside-up-day-and-all-time-high-1.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"caption\">Here are several reasonable stop entry setups from yesterday.

It then entered a trading range for 4 hours, and the trading range was a triangle. There was also a head and shoulders bottom. A strong bull breakout continued to above yesterday&#8217;s high. Today therefore was an outside up day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rally continued up to a new all-time high, and the year closed at a new high. I have talked about this possibility often over the past few weeks. I have been saying that the bulls want a gap up to a new all-time high on Monday. That would create a gap up on the daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly charts, and it would increase the chance of at least slightly higher prices in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, as strong as the bull trend it, there is a Spike and Bull Channel. That typically leads to a couple legs down to the start of the channel. Traders should expect a test down to 3500 in January, but the Emini will probably go at least a little higher first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>See the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/blog\/market-analysis\/\" target=\"_blank\">weekly update<\/a> for a discussion of the price action on the weekly chart and for what to expect going into next week.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trading Room<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Traders can see the end of the day <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brookspriceaction.com\/profile.php?mode=profil&amp;sub=profile_prefer&amp;mod=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bar-by-bar price action report by signing up<\/a> for free at BrooksPriceAction.com.
