The channel up to the 2nd is tight; however, there are many overlapping bars, which increases the chances that the market will go sideways soon. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The odds favor a retest of the May 2nd close, and price will probably have to go above the bar to satisfy the argument of a second leg.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The current price is near the midpoint between the all-time high and the April low, which is a likely neutral area.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This increases the odds that the daily chart will have a lot of trading range price action around this price level.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Yesterday was a weak high one with a tail above the bar, increasing the odds that there are sellers above yesterday&#8217;s high.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Bears have done a good job creating overlap, but they need to create more barrel bars closing below their midpoints.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The market will probably touch the moving average over the next several days.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Because the weekly chart is testing near the moving average after consecutive bull bars, the odds are that this week will be disappointing for the bulls.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li> This increases the chances that the market may close on Friday at the open of the week. This reduces the chances of the market getting a big move in the next few days.<\/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>The E-mini formed a very small gap inside yesterday&#8217;s trading range. Bar one was a large doji bar, which increased the odds of more sideways price action over the next couple of bars.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The rally up to Bar 14 is tight. However, most of the bars are overlapping.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Bulls are doing a good job getting 9 bars above the moving average, and that&#8217;s a sign of strength by the Bulls.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The bulls&#8217; problem is that, except for 5 and 6, 7 through 9 have been in a tight trading range, which increases the risk of a potential reversal down.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The bulls hope this will continue to be a small pullback trend for the rest of the day, and it&#8217;s possible. Ideally, the bulls need more open gaps. They have a possible gap between the three close and the eight low, but that alone is insufficient.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Because yesterday&#8217;s Bears 33 was a strong breakout bar, there&#8217;s added risk that the market will have to retest the close. This means the market may have to go a bit higher before the bears get a chance at a reversal down.<\/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\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"382\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/SP500-Emini-5-Min-Chart-Bull-Trap-Then-Bear-Trap-and-Then-Trading-Range-680x382.jpg\" alt=\"SP500 Emini 5-Min Chart Bull Trap Then Bear Trap and Then Trading Range\" class=\"wp-image-236340\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/SP500-Emini-5-Min-Chart-Bull-Trap-Then-Bear-Trap-and-Then-Trading-Range-680x382.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/SP500-Emini-5-Min-Chart-Bull-Trap-Then-Bear-Trap-and-Then-Trading-Range-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/SP500-Emini-5-Min-Chart-Bull-Trap-Then-Bear-Trap-and-Then-Trading-Range-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/SP500-Emini-5-Min-Chart-Bull-Trap-Then-Bear-Trap-and-Then-Trading-Range.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/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.

These therefore are swing entries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"caption\">It is important to understand that most swing setups do not lead to swing trades. As soon as traders are disappointed, many exit. Those who exit prefer to get out with a small profit (scalp), but often have to exit with a small loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"caption\">If the risk is too big for your account, you should wait for trades with less risk or trade an alternative market like the Micro Emini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary of today&#8217;s S&amp;P Emini price action<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/SP500-Emini-5-Min-Chart-Trading-Range-Then-Failed-Bear-Breakout.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"382\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/SP500-Emini-5-Min-Chart-Trading-Range-Then-Failed-Bear-Breakout-680x382.jpg\" alt=\"SP500 Emini 5-Min Chart Trading Range Then Failed Bear Breakout\" class=\"wp-image-236416\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/SP500-Emini-5-Min-Chart-Trading-Range-Then-Failed-Bear-Breakout-680x382.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/SP500-Emini-5-Min-Chart-Trading-Range-Then-Failed-Bear-Breakout-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/SP500-Emini-5-Min-Chart-Trading-Range-Then-Failed-Bear-Breakout-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/SP500-Emini-5-Min-Chart-Trading-Range-Then-Failed-Bear-Breakout.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<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Emini end of day video review<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Periodic end of day review videos will be moved to top of page when done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">EURUSD Forex market analysis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">EURUSD Forex daily chart<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The EURUSD is spending much time going sideways in a tight trading range at the moving average.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Yesterday, a bull bar formed, closing on a tie, and the bulls are hopeful that this will lead to trend resumption in a test of the April high.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Bears need to get a clear breakout below the moving average.
