The bulls have strong momentum, which increases the odds of a 2<sup>nd<\/sup> leg up. However, yesterday\u2019s High 1 buy signal bar is forcing bulls to buy high in a possible trading range on the daily chart.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Because yesterday\u2019s High 1 buy signal bar was weak, traders will expect sellers above yesterday\u2019s high. This increases the risk that the daily chart may have a pullback lasting a couple of legs before the bulls can get a 2<sup>nd<\/sup> leg up and a test of the 7,000 round number.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bulls will pay close attention to see what kind of follow-through buying they can create. If the bulls make a bull bar that closes on its high, the probability that the High 1 buy signal bar will work and lead to higher prices increases.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This lowers the probability for the bulls buying above yesterday\u2019s buy signal bar. Another problem the bulls face is that yesterday\u2019s buy signal bar closed below its midpoint. This lowers the probability for the bulls and increases the odds of sellers above.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Overall, the rally is strong enough that the odds favor a 2<sup>nd<\/sup> leg up and a test of the 7,000 round number. Even if the bulls find sellers above yesterday\u2019s High 1 buy signal bar and the market pulls back, the odds will likely favor buyers not far below.<\/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>Today gapped up on the open and formed an expanding triangle for the first 2 hours.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The expanding triangle had several sudden reversals up and down, making it difficult for breakout traders hoping for a successful breakout and measured move based on the opening range.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The bears tried to get a downside breakout of the opening range on bar 23. However, the bear breakout bar was climactic, and the follow-through selling on bar 24 was weak. This increased the odds of the selloff to bar 24 being part of a bear leg in what was likely to become a trading range.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The bulls ended up getting a strong reversal up from the low of bar 25 and a test of the Open of the Day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The bulls are hopeful that bars 33-34 are a strong enough bull breakout that the odds will favor a 2<sup>nd<\/sup> leg up and a test of today\u2019s high.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>While a 2<sup>nd<\/sup> leg up after the 33-34 bull breakout is likely, the odds are against the market going above the high of the day without a deep pullback first.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The odds are against the market continuing to break extremes. This means that we have likely seen the low of the day for the rest of the day.<\/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\/12\/SP500-E-mini-5-Min-TR-Open-into-Bull-Channel-Then-Reversal.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/SP500-E-mini-5-Min-TR-Open-into-Bull-Channel-Then-Reversal-680x383.jpg\" alt=\"SP500 E-mini 5-Min TR Open into Bull Channel Then Reversal\" class=\"wp-image-256621\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/SP500-E-mini-5-Min-TR-Open-into-Bull-Channel-Then-Reversal-680x383.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/SP500-E-mini-5-Min-TR-Open-into-Bull-Channel-Then-Reversal-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/SP500-E-mini-5-Min-TR-Open-into-Bull-Channel-Then-Reversal-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/SP500-E-mini-5-Min-TR-Open-into-Bull-Channel-Then-Reversal.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Richard created the SP500 E-mini chart.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"caption\">Here are reasonable stop entry setups from yesterday.
