The bears are hopeful yesterday is a strong enough breakout to lead to a test of last year&#8217;s close. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Yesterday is a big enough bar that the upside will probably be limited and lead to a bad stop entry buy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>However, just like March 7<sup>th <\/sup>had bad follow-through on the next bar, traders expect today to have bad follow-through.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The bulls want the selloff from March 6<sup>th<\/sup> to be a 2<sup>nd<\/sup> leg down from March 2<sup>nd<\/sup>, leading to a reversal. While this is possible, the channel down over the four days is tight and will limit the upside. Also, the bulls will probably need at least a micro double bottom.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The market looks like it wants to test last year\u2019s close and see if more buyers or sellers are back at that price level (3,861.00).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The market has the potential to get a measured move down from March 2 and 3<sup>rd<\/sup> bull breakout. The bulls should have gotten a 2<sup>nd<\/sup> leg up, and instead, the bears got a downside breakout. This trapped bulls who bought on March 7<sup>th,<\/sup> betting on a second leg up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Most bulls who bought the pullback (March 7<sup>th<\/sup>) could not exit their trade at breakeven. There were bulls giving up during yesterday\u2019s bear breakout.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>While there will be bulls that will continue to scale in lower,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I suspect a fair number of bulls will not be interested in buying without a 2<sup>nd<\/sup> leg down. This means that there is the added risk of a selloff below the December 2022 lows.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the odds favor a 2<sup>nd<\/sup> leg down after yesterday\u2019s bar, it increases the risk of the breakout getting bigger, leading to lower prices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Overall, traders should expect disappointing follow-through today and for the market to get at least a small 2<sup>nd<\/sup> leg down before the bulls can have a credible shot at a reversal. This means that the bulls will likely need a micro double bottom.<\/li>\n<\/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\">\n<li>Emini is down 2 points in the overnight Globex session.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The overnight Globex session sold off until 11:00 PM PT and has been in a bull rally ever since.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The bulls formed a large outside up bar on the 15-minute chart during the 5:30 AM PT report. The outside up bar is 20 points tall and is probably a big enough surprise to get at least a small second leg up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Today will probably have a lot of trading range price action and either be a bull trend or a trading range day and less likely another strong bear trend day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Yesterday was very climactic. There is a 50% chance that the open could have a brief selloff before the start of the two hours of sideways trading. This means there is a 75% chance of sideways trading lasting two hours, beginning before the end of the second hour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As I often say, most trades should wait for 6-12 bars before placing a trade.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Also, most traders should consider waiting for a credible swing set up in the formation of a double top\/bottom or a wedge top\/bottom, which usually begins before the end of the second hour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Today is Friday, so weekly support and resistance are important. Traders should also be mindful of the increased risk of a surprise breakout up or down late in the day as traders decide on the close of the weekly chart.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Emini intraday market update<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To follow about midday&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/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\/2023\/03\/SP500-Emini-5-min-Chart-Lower-High-Double-Top-Then-Small-Pullback-Bear-Trend.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/SP500-Emini-5-min-Chart-Lower-High-Double-Top-Then-Small-Pullback-Bear-Trend-680x383.png\" alt=\"SP500 Emini 5-min Chart Lower High Double Top Then Small Pullback Bear Trend.
