Yet, the second bar was a bear doji and therefore the follow-through buying was bad. Hence, this is a continuation of the 4 weeks of trading range price action.<\/p>\n<p>The next 2 bars were bull trend bars, but small. The Emini is Always In Long, but the follow-through buying is weak. This increases the chances of an opening reversal down and an early high of the day. Hence, the bears will look for a parabolic wedge top or at least a micro double top. There is no top yet. Bulls are still buying closes<\/p>\n<p>The bulls need more and bigger bull bars if today will be a big bull trend day. When there is a bull breakout on the open like this, but no clear top, the Emini often enters a trading range for several hours. Then, later in the day, it decides between trend resumption up and trend reversal down.<\/p>\n<h2>Pre-Open market analysis<\/h2>\n<p>The weekly chart has an extreme buy climax. It is therefore likely to begin to pull back to its weekly moving average within a few weeks. Last week had a bear body after making a new high. It is therefore a sell signal bar for a failed breakout above the March prior all-time high. Hence, if this week trades below last week&#8217;s high, it triggers the sell signal. Furthermore, if today gaps below last week&#8217;s low, there would also be an island top.<\/p>\n<p>Because the daily chart is in a converging bull channel, the odds are that it will have a 3rd push up this week. If it rallies to around 2410 at the top of the channel and reverses down, it would form a wedge higher high major trend reversal. Yet, if today trades below last week&#8217;s low, the odds will favor the start of a 5% correction instead of one more new high.<\/p>\n<h3>Overnight Emini Globex trading<\/h3>\n<p>The Emini is up 3 points in the Globex session. Since it is still in the middle of its 4 week range and most days have been trading range days, today will likely be another trading range day. <\/p>\n<p>The odds still favor one more new all-time high before a 100 point selloff begins. Consequently, a 2 &#8211; 5 day rally can begin anytime. Furthermore, since the weekly chart is so extremely overbought, a strong series of bear trend days can also start anytime.<\/p>\n<p><!--  EURUSD FOREX MARKET TRADING STRATEGIES  --><\/p>\n<h2>EURUSD Forex market trading strategies<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/EC-10.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/EC-10-600x335.png\" alt=\"EURUSD forex rally after trump fired comey.\" width=\"600\" height=\"335\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-67150\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/EC-10-600x335.png 600w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/EC-10-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/EC-10-768x429.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\">The 240 minute EURUSD Forex market rallied strongly over the past 2 days from the bottom to the top of its 4 week trading range.<\/p>\n<p>After the tight bear channel to the bottom of the 4 week trading range on the 240 minute chart, the odds favored a 50% bounce. Furthermore, the chart should have tested back down. Instead, the lower probability outcome is now underway. The bulls have consecutive big bull bars at a level where a reversal down was more likely. Consequently, the odds of a reversal down from a lower high have fallen to about 50%. The bulls want a measured move to above the May 8 top of the 4 week range.<\/p>\n<h4>Double top or expanding top<\/h4>\n<p>The magnet of the 1.1299 November 9 top of the sell climax keeps pulling on the market. Yet, the bulls need a strong breakout above the May 8 top of the 4 week range. Without that, the odds favor another selloff. It could come from a double top with the May 8 high. If instead it comes from 50 &#8211; 100 pips higher, traders would sell a reversal down. This is because that would then be an expanding triangle top, where the 1st leg up was the April 25 high.<\/p>\n<h3>Overnight EURUSD Forex trading<\/h3>\n<p>The 2 day rally on the 240 minute chart is in a 6 bar bull micro channel. Therefore the bears will probably need at least a micro double top before they can take control. As a result, the downside over the next couple of days is probably 50 pips. <\/p>\n<p>While the rally can continue up above the May 8 high without pulling back, that would be unusual. If the EURUSD gets to the 1.1022 May 8 top of the range today or tomorrow, it will probably enter a trading range for a day or two.<\/p>\n<p><!--  SUMMARY OF TODAYS EMINI PRICE ACTION  --><\/p>\n<h2>Summary of today&#8217;s S&amp;P Emini futures price action and what to expect tomorrow<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/es-11.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/es-11-600x335.png\" alt=\"Emini new high about 2400 in trump rally.\" width=\"600\" height=\"335\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-67185\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/es-11-600x335.png 600w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/es-11-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/es-11-768x429.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\">The Emini rallied on the open to a new all-time high above 2400.
