This is a sign of hesitation above the August High <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>While the gaped-up is good for the bears, the odds favor sellers above the September 18<sup>th<\/sup> high. This increases the risk of a test back down to the September 18<sup>th<\/sup> low.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Because yesterday is a doji bar at a new high, it is a sign of hesitation and a lack of momentum. This increases the risk of profit-taking and the market reversing back down to the September 18<sup>th<\/sup> low.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The bears want today to close on its low and below yesterday\u2019s low. This would increase the risk of bulls exiting and the bears getting a couple of legs down.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&nbsp;The bears&#8217; ability to create more selling pressure is a key factor in the potential reversal down to the September 6th low. While the odds favor lower prices, the daily chart may need to go sideways for more bars before the bears can execute this reversal, an essential understanding for traders.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-emini-5-minute-chart-and-what-to-expect-today\">Emini 5-minute chart and what to expect today<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The bears gaped down and formed a small 2<sup>nd<\/sup> leg down to bar 7. While this is good for the bears, it looks more like a bear leg in a trading range than the start of a small pullback bear trend.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The bears need to do more to create a small pullback bear trend. At a minimum, they need to create open gaps. This would trap the scale in bulls betting on a trading range, which would lead to a downside breakout.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>While the odds favor a reversal up to the moving average and bar 1 (writing during bar 7).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This is exactly how trends from the open bear trends form. They typically look like bear legs in what will become trading ranges.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&nbsp;This traps bulls into buying below bars and scaling in lower. If the selloff continues sideways to down for a long enough period, it will lead to a breakout on a higher time frame and trap bulls in the wrong direction.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A small pullback bear trend is not likely, but as of bar 9, the bears have an open gap with bar 1 low and bar 8 high. This increases the risk of a trend being underway. The Bulls need to close this gap. The bulls want a parabolic wedge with bar 9.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bar 9, the odds favor a test of the moving average. Bulls are getter off waiting for a credible bull bar before buying.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-yesterdays-emini-setups\">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\/2024\/09\/SP500-Emini-5-Min-Chart-Sell-Climax-Then-Weak-Rally-and-Trading-Range.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/SP500-Emini-5-Min-Chart-Sell-Climax-Then-Weak-Rally-and-Trading-Range-680x383.jpg\" alt=\"SP500 Emini 5-Min Chart Sell Climax Then Weak Rally and Trading Range\" class=\"wp-image-218674\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/SP500-Emini-5-Min-Chart-Sell-Climax-Then-Weak-Rally-and-Trading-Range-680x383.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/SP500-Emini-5-Min-Chart-Sell-Climax-Then-Weak-Rally-and-Trading-Range-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/SP500-Emini-5-Min-Chart-Sell-Climax-Then-Weak-Rally-and-Trading-Range-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/SP500-Emini-5-Min-Chart-Sell-Climax-Then-Weak-Rally-and-Trading-Range.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Al created the SP500 Emini charts.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"caption\">Here are reasonable stop entry setups from yesterday.
