Because yesterday closed below the open, the bar on the daily chart had a bear body. It is a sell signal bar for today for a failed breakout above the March high. <\/p>\n<p>Since it had a prominent tail below and the past several weeks have been in a tight bull channel, it is not a strong sell setup. A minor reversal is more likely than a bear trend. However, the location is good for the bears. Therefore, there is an increased chance of a big bear trend day today.<\/p>\n<p>The bulls hope that yesterday&#8217;s selloff was just a pullback from the gap up. But, the selling on the 5 minute chart was strong enough to make a big bull trend day unlikely today.<\/p>\n<h3>Overnight Emini Globex trading<\/h3>\n<p><!-- INSERT OVERNIGHT EMINI GLOBEX TRADING --><br \/>\nThe Emini is down 5 points in the Globex market. Since the past 10 days have been small, the breakout attempt above the March high so far is weak. That increases the chances of a test down for 2 &#8211; 3 weeks. If the daily chart pulls back, there will be more swings down on the 5 minute chart.<\/p>\n<p>While the Emini has rallied for 2 weeks, the 60 minute chart is in a channel with very few consecutive big bull bars. This makes the rally more likely a bull leg in a trading range than in a bull trend. It therefore increases the chance of a bear leg that would test the bottom of the channel at around 2770. <\/p>\n<p>Therefore, there is an increased chance of swings down on the 5 minute chart for the next week or two. Less likely, the chart will break strongly above the 2 week channel on the 60 minute chart without the pullback.<\/p>\n<h2>Yesterday&#8217;s setups<\/h2>\n<p><!-- INSERT YESTERDAY'S CHART --><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Emini-small-wedge-top-and-then-bear-trend.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Emini-small-wedge-top-and-then-bear-trend-680x383.png\" alt=\"Emini small wedge top and then bear trend\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-80206\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Emini-small-wedge-top-and-then-bear-trend-680x383.png 680w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Emini-small-wedge-top-and-then-bear-trend-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Emini-small-wedge-top-and-then-bear-trend-768x433.png 768w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Emini-small-wedge-top-and-then-bear-trend.png 1683w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\">Here are several reasonable stop entry setups from yesterday.

It is deciding on the direction of the breakout.<\/p>\n<p><!-- INSERT PREMARKET FOREX ANALYSIS --><br \/>\nNothing changed overnight on the EURUSD daily Forex chart. It is still at the apex of a month-long triangle that is part of a 2 month trading range. In general a triangle has an equal chance of breaking out up or down. In addition, there is a 50% chance that the 1st breakout fails within a few bars. <\/p>\n<p>This triangle is at support on the weekly chart. Furthermore, it is following a series of sell climaxes down to that support. These factors make a successful bull breakout slightly more likely. But, that breakout will probably form a lower high around 1.20 that would then lead to a move down to around 1.20 within the next 6 months.<\/p>\n<p>Since the legs in the triangle are now lasting only a few days, traders on the daily charts are taking quick profits. They want to see a strong breakout up or down before they will hold onto positions. <\/p>\n<h3>Overnight EURUSD Forex trading<\/h3>\n<p><!-- INSERT OVERNIGHT EURUSD FOREX TRADING --><br \/>\nThe EURUSD 5 minute Forex chart has been in a 30 pip trading range since yesterday&#8217;s close. That makes it difficult for day traders to make money even when they are scalping. Most day traders should wait for today&#8217;s range to expand. A big trend day is unlikely. Therefore, day traders will trade reversals for 10 pip scalps.<br \/>\n<!--  SUMMARY OF TODAY'S 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><!-- EOD CHART --><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Emini-Small-Pullback-Bull-Trend-with-Late-Buy-The-Close-Rally-then-profit-taking.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Emini-Small-Pullback-Bull-Trend-with-Late-Buy-The-Close-Rally-then-profit-taking-680x383.png\" alt=\"Emini Small Pullback Bull Trend with Late Buy The Close Rally, then profit taking\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-80222\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Emini-Small-Pullback-Bull-Trend-with-Late-Buy-The-Close-Rally-then-profit-taking-680x383.png 680w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Emini-Small-Pullback-Bull-Trend-with-Late-Buy-The-Close-Rally-then-profit-taking-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Emini-Small-Pullback-Bull-Trend-with-Late-Buy-The-Close-Rally-then-profit-taking-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Emini-Small-Pullback-Bull-Trend-with-Late-Buy-The-Close-Rally-then-profit-taking.png 1682w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\">Here are several reasonable stop entry setups for today.
