<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n- This week\u2019s E-mini candlestick was a bear bar closing below the middle of its range with a long tail below.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Last week<\/a> we said traders were watching whether bears could finally create a follow-through bear bar \u2014 something they haven\u2019t done since the April low \u2014 or if the market would make a new all-time high but begin forming prominent tails or bear bodies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Bears managed to create a follow-through bear bar this week.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- They want a reversal from a wedge top (May 19, Jul 31, Oct 29).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- They see the recent 6-week trading range as a possible final flag in the rally and want a pullback to the October 10 low area or the 20-week EMA.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- They are looking for a TBTL (Ten Bars, Two Legs) pullback lasting a few weeks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- They will need consecutive bear bars closing near their lows to show they are in control.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Bulls broke above the 6-week trading range, reaching and exceeding the 6,900 round number target recently.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- They see the current move as a pullback and want it to be weak, with limited follow-through selling, like all recent pullbacks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- They want the October 10 low and 20-week EMA to act as support.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- They want a retest and breakout above the October 29 high, followed by a resumption of the trend.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The move up since the Apr 21 low has been a tight bull channel, showing strong bullish momentum.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The rally is slightly climactic and overbought; it may need to form a pullback before resuming higher.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Bears still need strong consecutive bear bars before traders will sell aggressively.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The long tail below this week\u2019s candlestick shows bears are not yet strong.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Traders will watch if bears can create sustained follow-through selling \u2014 something they haven\u2019t done since April \u2014 or if the pullback will lack follow-through selling (overlapping candlesticks).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- For now, odds slightly favor any pullback being minor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n- The market traded sideways to down for the week. Friday traded lower but reversed into a bull bar closing near its high with a long tail below.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

- Recently, the market traded slightly higher but started to stall, followed by a pullback lower this week.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Bulls reached and exceeded the 6,900-level round number target in October.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- They see the current move as a pullback within the bull trend and want it to remain weak and sideways (overlapping candlesticks, dojis, long tails below bars).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- They want the October 10 low or the bull trend line to act as support, forming a double bottom bull flag (Oct 10 and Nov 7).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- They want a retest and breakout above the October 29 high followed by a resumption of the trend.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Bears want a reversal from a large wedge pattern (May 19, Jul 31, Oct 29) and a higher-high major trend reversal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- If the market trades higher, bears want it to stall below the October 29 high, forming a lower high major trend reversal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- They must create strong consecutive bear bars closing near their lows, trading far below the 20-day EMA and the October 10 low to indicate they are in control.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

- The market is slightly overbought and climactic, but until bears can create strong consecutive bear bars, traders will not sell aggressively.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Traders will watch whether bears can create more follow-through selling. If the market trades higher, traders will watch if the move forms a lower high followed by a second leg sideways to down.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Or will the pullback lack strong follow-through selling, followed by a strong retest of the October 29 high instead?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- For now, odds slightly favor any pullback being minor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
