This increased the odds of sellers above their high.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The daily chart has been in an overall trading range lasting several months. So far today is gapping up on the open of the U.S. Session and above yesterday\u2019s high 1 buy signal bar. This increases the odds that the market will test back to yesterday\u2019s high and close the gap, allowing scale in bears to make money.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The odds favor sellers around the 7,000 round number. This is a credible resistance level for bears to begin to establish shorts and bulls taking profits.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The bears are doing a good job with the increase in selling pressure; however, they need to do more. Ideally, the bears need to create a series of bear bars closing on their lows.<\/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 went sideways for the first 18 bars of the day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The bears formed a strong bear breakout with follow-through on bars 15 and 16.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>While this was good for the bears, it was a possible 2<sup>nd<\/sup> leg down and a test of the moving average after a large gap up. This increased the odds of a potential failed breakout below the bar 5 low.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The bulls formed a surprise reversal up with bars 18-19. This increased the odds of a 2<sup>nd<\/sup> leg up, which the bulls got, and the market ended up forming a wedge top with bar 31.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Although the rally up was good for the bulls, the selloff on bars 15-16 increased the risk of the bears getting a 2<sup>nd<\/sup> leg down of those bars.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Currently, the selloff to bar 36 might be the start of that 2<sup>nd<\/sup> leg down and test of the bar 16 low.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Because of what I mentioned regarding yesterday, forming a weak high 1 buy signal bar. There is an increased risk of a possible downside breakout and measure move of today\u2019s range.<\/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\/2026\/01\/SP500-E-mini-Bear-Trend-From-Open-Trading-Range-Day-Overall.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/SP500-E-mini-Bear-Trend-From-Open-Trading-Range-Day-Overall-680x383.jpg\" alt=\"SP500 E-mini Bear Trend From Open Trading Range Day Overall\" class=\"wp-image-260056\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/SP500-E-mini-Bear-Trend-From-Open-Trading-Range-Day-Overall-680x383.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/SP500-E-mini-Bear-Trend-From-Open-Trading-Range-Day-Overall-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/SP500-E-mini-Bear-Trend-From-Open-Trading-Range-Day-Overall-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/SP500-E-mini-Bear-Trend-From-Open-Trading-Range-Day-Overall.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.

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 E-mini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary of today&#8217;s S&amp;P E-mini price action<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/SP500-E-mini-Gap-Up-OPening-Range-Breakout-Then-Midday-Reversal.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/SP500-E-mini-Gap-Up-OPening-Range-Breakout-Then-Midday-Reversal-680x383.jpg\" alt=\"SP500 E-mini Gap Up OPening Range Breakout Then Midday Reversal\" class=\"wp-image-260125\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/SP500-E-mini-Gap-Up-OPening-Range-Breakout-Then-Midday-Reversal-680x383.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/SP500-E-mini-Gap-Up-OPening-Range-Breakout-Then-Midday-Reversal-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/SP500-E-mini-Gap-Up-OPening-Range-Breakout-Then-Midday-Reversal-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/SP500-E-mini-Gap-Up-OPening-Range-Breakout-Then-Midday-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<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">E-mini 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<p><em>See the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/blog\/analysis\/\" target=\"_blank\">weekly update<\/a> for a discussion of the price action on the weekly chart and for what to expect going into next week.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trading Room<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Al Brooks and other presenters talk about the detailed E-mini price action real-time each day in the Brooks Trading Course <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/online-day-trading-room\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">trading room<\/a>.
