The odds are beginning to favor at least a minor pullback soon, with Emini first reversal down likely to fail. <\/li><li>The odds also favor a test of the June 2<sup>nd<\/sup> high regardless of a pullback first.<\/li><li>The bull breakout up to July 29 is strong enough for a second leg up, which means traders will buy the first attempt down expecting it to only lead to a brief selloff that will soon have higher prices.<\/li><li>Bears want the Emini to form a double top with June 2<sup>nd<\/sup> and lead to a bear breakout below the neckline (June 17), leading to a measured move down of around 500 points. There is only a 20% chance of this at the moment. How do we know it is 20% and not 30%? We do not; the point is that the odds of it happening are very low, and more likely, if the market does fall below the June 17 low, bulls will buy and reverse the market up.<\/li><li>The bulls want the opposite of the bears and see June 2<sup>nd<\/sup> as a neckline of a double bottom (June 17). They want a breakout above the neckline and a measured move up 500 points to around 4,600 (March high). <\/li><li>At the moment, the odds favor the measured move up to 4,600 before the bears get a 500-point measured move down below June 17,<\/li><li>The market does not have to get a measured move up or down for a long time; the odds favor the market going sideways here. That means even if the market breaks above the June 2<sup>nd<\/sup> high, it probably will not rally that far before the trading range price action continues.<\/li><li>Notice how the close of August 1<sup>st<\/sup> is in the middle of the tight trading range of May 27 \u2013 June 8. This is a reminder that the market saw this as a fair price, and the market is currently deciding if traders are happy with this price.<\/li><li>Overall, the bulls have done an excellent job over the past four trading days, but they need to do more. The bulls need to show traders their strength by breaking far above the June 2<sup>nd<\/sup> high, which would make traders wonder if the market will get the 500-point rally and breakout above the June 2<sup>nd<\/sup> neckline of the double bottom (June 17).<\/li><li>More likely, the market will begin to go sideways soon.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Emini 5-minute chart and what to expect today<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Emini is down 22 points in the overnight Globex session.<\/li><li>Market has sold off in a bear channel during the overnight Globex session.<\/li><li>The odds favor a pullback on the daily chart, so traders should not be surprised if today has a close below the open.<\/li><li>Traders should also pay attention to the open of the day. Since today is likely to have a bear close, if the market is above the open (but not far above it) late in the day, sellers may come in and drive the market down to below the open.<\/li><li>Today is likely to have more trading range price action, which means traders should expect reversals.<\/li><li>If today is similar to yesterday, and the market has a rally lasting around 40 bars, traders should look for signs of a potential midday reversal.<\/li><li>Traders should expect a limit order open and wait for strong consecutive trend bars (similar to yesterday) before looking to enter in the breakout direction.<\/li><li>As always, traders may want to consider waiting for 6-12 bars before placing a trade. This is because the market will likely go sideways during the first hour.<\/li><li>Lastly, traders should not be hopeful. If the market is going sideways, do not be eager to enter the first sign of a breakout. If the market has a strong breakout, there will be plenty of opportunities to buy.<\/li><li>It is easy on the open to get trapped, taking one or two breakouts and ending up with a couple of big losses, which one will spend the rest of the day trying to get back to breakeven.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Yesterday&#8217;s Emini setups<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Emini-bull-trend-from-the-open-that-triggered-monthly-20-gap-bar-buy-signal-but-reversed-down-from-truncated-wedge-top-and-lower-high-double-top.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Emini-bull-trend-from-the-open-that-triggered-monthly-20-gap-bar-buy-signal-but-reversed-down-from-truncated-wedge-top-and-lower-high-double-top-680x383.png\" alt=\"Emini bull trend from the open that triggered monthly 20 gap bar buy signal but reversed down from truncated wedge top and lower high double top.
