The market spent too many bars above the moving average on the daily chart, which increased the odds that the first reversal below the moving average would lead to a trading range.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Bears need to do more than what they&#8217;ve done so far. This means that the bulls who bought the July high and were willing to scale in lower below the moving average were likely to make a profit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the Bears can continue to make the market go sideways in a trading range, it will increase the chances that they&#8217;ll be able to form some kind of major trend reversal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>While the Bears are hoping that they&#8217;ll be able to form a lower high major trend reversal, the odds are that it won&#8217;t be enough bars in the reversal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This means that if the bears do reverse down and test the August low, it&#8217;ll probably still be a minor trend line break that will need another test of the highs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Overall, the market&#8217;s probably going to be in a trading range for several weeks on the daily chart. The Bears need to do more than what they&#8217;ve done so far to get some kind of reversal going.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">E-mini 5-minute chart and what to expect today<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Emini gapped up and formed a bull trend from the open, rallying for the first 10 bars of the day. This is a strong enough rally on the open that the odds favored the first reversal down being minor and the bulls getting a second leg up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Bears formed a credible reversal bar below 14 that was strong enough for the bulls to exit their longs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>While 14 is a credible sell, the rally up from the low of the day is strong, and the market is just under yesterday&#8217;s high. This increases the odds that the market will go above the 14 high at some point later today.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As of bar 24, the market is entering breakout mode and is deciding whether or not the bulls are going to get a larger second leg up after the rally to the bar 8 high.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Bears need to get close below the moving average if they&#8217;re going to convince traders that the market is going lower. Without it, the odds are the Bulls will get trend resumption up in the market, which will test yesterday&#8217;s high.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Today is Friday, and therefore, weekly support and resistance are important.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Traders should be mindful of the possibility of a strong breakout up or down late in the day, as traders decide on the close of the weekly chart.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Overall, the market is always in long and the odds favor a second leg up in test of yesterday&#8217;s high, unless the Bears can develop more selling pressure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Yesterday&#8217;s E-mini setups<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/SP500-Emini-5-Min-Small-Pullback-Bear-Trend-Then-Late-Reversal.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"382\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/SP500-Emini-5-Min-Small-Pullback-Bear-Trend-Then-Late-Reversal-680x382.jpg\" alt=\"SP500 Emini 5-Min Small Pullback Bear Trend Then Late Reversal\" class=\"wp-image-246844\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/SP500-Emini-5-Min-Small-Pullback-Bear-Trend-Then-Late-Reversal-680x382.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/SP500-Emini-5-Min-Small-Pullback-Bear-Trend-Then-Late-Reversal-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/SP500-Emini-5-Min-Small-Pullback-Bear-Trend-Then-Late-Reversal-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/SP500-Emini-5-Min-Small-Pullback-Bear-Trend-Then-Late-Reversal.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Al created the SP500 E-mini chart.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"caption\">Here are reasonable stop entry setups from yesterday.
