In addition, I mentioned that it might pull back 50% to the October 11 low and the close of last year. This week&#8217;s selloff achieved those objectives. Finally, I said that if the bulls could get a reversal up from around 2700, they would have a head and shoulders bottom. That would increase their chance of a breakout above the October 17 high.<\/p>\n<p>I have been writing that the bears see November 7 as a double top bear flag with the October 17 high. Even at the close of the November 7 big bull day, I said that the Emini had a 40% chance of reversing down from a double top bear flag with the October 17 high, breaking below the October 29 neck line, and falling for a 200 point measured move down. Nothing has changed. Despite Monday&#8217;s strong selloff, a break above the November 7 high is still more likely than a move below the October 29 low.<\/p>\n<h4>Weak sell signal on weekly chart<\/h4>\n<p>Look at the weekly chart. The past 2 weeks had decent bull bodies after a 2 legged sell climax. Typically, there are more buyers than sellers below the 2nd bull bar. <\/p>\n<p>Today broke below last week&#8217;s low. The next few days are important. This week is the entry bar for the reversal down on the weekly chart. Because last week had a big bull body, it is a weak sell signal bar. When the bears have a bad sell signal bar, they need a strong entry bar if they are going to be successful. If the bears fail to create a big bear bar this week, it would make it even more likely that the sell signal will fail. Traders will buy a reversal up.<\/p>\n<h3>Overnight Emini Globex trading<\/h3>\n<p><!-- INSERT OVERNIGHT EMINI GLOBEX TRADING --><br \/>\nThe Emini is up 12 points in the Globex session. Furthermore, it is 30 points above the Globex low. But, after 3 big bear days, there are probably more sellers than buyers above yesterday&#8217;s high. Traders will therefore sell a rally to that level today.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday was a doji bar on the daily chart. That is a 1 day trading range. Also, I wrote that the Emini would retrace about 50% of the early November rally, and test the 2700 Big Round Number and the close of last year. It is in that buy zone now. As a result, traders will buy selloffs.<\/p>\n<p>With traders selling rallies and buying selloffs, the Emini will probably be sideways for several days. In addition, it will probably have increasing trading range price action on the 5 minute chart.<\/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\/11\/Emini-wedge-bottom-and-wedge-top-in-trading-range-day-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Emini-wedge-bottom-and-wedge-top-in-trading-range-day-1-680x382.png\" alt=\"Emini wedge bottom and wedge top in trading range day\" width=\"680\" height=\"382\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-83322\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Emini-wedge-bottom-and-wedge-top-in-trading-range-day-1-680x382.png 680w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Emini-wedge-bottom-and-wedge-top-in-trading-range-day-1-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Emini-wedge-bottom-and-wedge-top-in-trading-range-day-1-768x431.png 768w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Emini-wedge-bottom-and-wedge-top-in-trading-range-day-1.png 1449w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\">Here are several reasonable stop entry setups from yesterday.

Because 4 big bear days represents strong selling, at least a small 2nd leg down is likely. The bulls want the breakout to fail and they have a wedge bottom. But, after 3 big bear days, they will need at least a micro double bottom.<\/p>\n<p><!-- INSERT PREMARKET FOREX ANALYSIS --><br \/>\nOver the weekend, I said that the EURUSD Forex market would fall below the August\/October double bottom and test the 1.1200 Big Round Number. That is also the bottom of a channel on the weekly chart (not shown) drawn from the November 7, 2107 low and the August 15 low. Furthermore, the selloff is still a test of the top of the 2015 -2016 trading range. Consequently, if the bulls can get a reversal up within the next couple of weeks, the rally would have a 50% chance of reaching the July\/September double top at around 1.18 over the next few months. <\/p>\n<p>Since the 8 week bear channel is tight, the bulls will probably have to stop the selling for 2 &#8211; 3 weeks before there is a 300 pip rally. Next, they will need a micro double bottom. If they can create a good buy signal bar, traders will buy. This would be a reversal up from a yearlong wedge bull flag on the weekly chart and a month-long wedge bottom on the daily chart.<\/p>\n<h4>Momentum down favors at least slightly lower prices<\/h4>\n<p>Traders need to remember that the momentum down over the past 2 months has been strong on the weekly chart (not shown). In addition, there is no credible bottom yet on that chart. Even though the bears have failed to get 2 big bear bars closing on their lows, the momentum continues to favor at least slightly lower prices. They still have a 40% chance of a 500 pip measured move down to 1.08 from the 6 month double top. Consequently, the bears will to sell rallies. <\/p>\n<p>However, if the daily chart stops going down, the bulls will probably get at least a 200 pip rally over the next few weeks. If they do, they will hope that it is the start of a 1 &#8211; 2 month, 600 pip swing up to the October high. <\/p>\n<p>But, there is resistance at the November 7 and October 16 major lower highs. Therefore, if the bulls get their reversal, the 1st rally will likely lead to a 1 &#8211; 2 month trading range. Then, several weeks from now, they could create a credible major trend reversal.<\/p>\n<p>The bears will sell at both of those lower highs and again at the 20 day EMA. They will continue to sell until the bulls get a sustained strong reversal up. There is no sign of that yet.<\/p>\n<p>While the bears have broken below the range, most breakouts fail. Therefore, even though they have been in control for 2 month, the bulls will probably regain control for a 200 &#8211; 300 pip leg up within a few weeks.<\/p>\n<h3>Overnight EURUSD Forex trading<\/h3>\n<p><!-- INSERT OVERNIGHT EURUSD FOREX TRADING --><br \/>\nThe EURUSD 5 minute Forex chart continued yesterday&#8217;s rally overnight. Since there is a wedge bottom on the daily chart, the bulls want a 300 pip rally to the November 7 lower high. However, the 3 day selloff has been strong. Typically the 1st reversal up only lasts  1 &#8211; 3 days before there is a test back down. Consequently, the bears will look to sell today or tomorrow, expecting at least a 50% retracement of the 2 day bounce.<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 --><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Emini-bear-trend-from-the-open-testing-2017-close-3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Emini-bear-trend-from-the-open-testing-2017-close-3-680x381.png\" alt=\"Emini bear trend from the open testing 2017 close\" width=\"680\" height=\"381\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-83350\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Emini-bear-trend-from-the-open-testing-2017-close-3-680x381.png 680w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Emini-bear-trend-from-the-open-testing-2017-close-3-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Emini-bear-trend-from-the-open-testing-2017-close-3-768x430.png 768w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Emini-bear-trend-from-the-open-testing-2017-close-3.png 1684w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\">Here are several reasonable stop entry setups for today.
