<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n- This week\u2019s Emini candlestick\u00a0<\/a>was a big bear bar closing near its low and below the 20-week EMA.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Last week<\/a>, we said that traders will see if the bears can create more follow-through selling. If they do, it could be the start of a two-legged pullback lasting at least a few weeks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The bulls have a strong rally in the form of a tight bull channel.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- They hope that the rally will lead to months of sideways to up trading after a pullback.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The pullback following the climactic rally is now underway.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- They hope to get at least a small retest of the prior trend extreme high (Mar 21), even if it only leads to a lower high (thereby forming a lower high major trend reversal).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- They hope that the 20-week EMA will act as support.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The bears got a reversal from a higher high major trend reversal and a large wedge pattern (Feb 2, July 27, and Mar 21).\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- They see a parabolic wedge in the third leg up since October (Dec 28, Feb 12, and Mar 21), an embedded wedge (Feb 12, Mar 8, and Mar 21) and a micro wedge top (Mar 21, Mar 28, and Apr 4). They also got a final flag reversal (ioi pattern in March).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- They hope to get a TBTL (Ten Bars, Two Legs) pullback of at least 5-to-10%. They want at least a test of the 20-week EMA.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The selloff this week has retraced more than 5% and has tested the 20-week EMA.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The move down is strong enough to favor at least a small second leg sideways to down after a pullback.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The bears need to create follow-through selling following this week\u2019s close below the 20-week EMA to increase the odds of more downside.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- If the market trades higher, they want a reversal from a lower high major trend reversal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Since this week\u2019s candlestick is a bear bar closing near its low, it is a sell signal bar for next week.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Traders will see if the 20-week EMA will act as temporary support even if the market temporarily trades below it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Traders should be open for the possibility of a pullback (bounce) followed by a second leg sideways to down after that in the weeks ahead.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Can the market gap down and continue to sell off to the bull trend line? The odds of this happening are lower, but traders should be open to such a situation and trade with the trend should it happen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- For now, traders will see if the bears can create more follow-through selling next week or will the market stall around (slightly below) the 20-week EMA area and form a pullback thereafter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The odds favor at least a small second leg sideways to down after a pullback.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n- The market opened higher on Monday but reversed into a big bear bar. The market continued to sell off for the rest of the week.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Last week<\/a>, we said that the bears need to create sustained follow-through selling trading far below the 20-day EMA to show that they are at least temporarily back in control. They got what they wanted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The bears got a reversal from a higher high major trend reversal, a large wedge pattern (Feb 2, July 27, and Mar 21) and a parabolic wedge (Dec 28, Feb 12, and Mar 21).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- They also see an embedded wedge in the current leg up (Mar 4, Mar 8, and Mar 21) and a micro wedge top (Mar 21, Mar 28, and Apr 4).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The breakout above the tight trading range (in the first half of March) was disappointing with poor follow-through buying, increasing the odds of a minor reversal from a final flag.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The profit-taking pullback has begun.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- If the market trades higher, the bears want the 20-day EMA to act as resistance and want at least a small second leg sideways to down after the pullback.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The bulls got a strong rally which lasted over 5 months.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- They hope that the current rally will form a spike and channel which will last for many months after a deeper pullback.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- They hope to get at least a small retest of the prior high (Mar 21) even if it forms a lower high.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- This week, the bears managed to get strong follow-through selling below the 20-day EMA which means the pullback phase has begun.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The selloff is strong enough for traders to expect at least a small second leg sideways to down after a pullback.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Traders will also see if there will be at least a small retest of the prior high (Mar 21). If there is and especially if it is weak (and maybe stalls around the 20-day EMA), the odds of another leg down from a lower high major trend reversal will increase.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
