Emini has small double bottom and top so Breakout Mode<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I will update again at the end of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pre-Open market analysis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday was the 5th consecutive doji day in a 7 day tight trading range, There is both a small double top and double bottom. This is Breakout Mode. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Emini is just below the December 12 top of the crash. That is a magnet above. In addition, the January rally was strong. Consequently, a bull breakout is slightly more likely than a bear breakout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the January rally was a buy climax. Even if the bulls break above the December lower high, the Emini will probably retrace about 50% of the 5 week rally by the end of February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of the dojis and tight trading range, the odds favor more sideways price action. There is no sign of an impending breakout yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overnight Emini Globex trading <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Emini is up 11 points in the Globex session. It therefore might gap up above yesterday’s high. That would create a 2 day island bottom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the gap is small, it will probably close within the first hour. However, the daily chart is in a bull bull flag. Therefore, even if the gap closes, there is still an increased chance of a bull trend day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the past 5 days were doji days, traders will need to see a strong early breakout up or down before concluding that today will be a trend day. Without that, the odds favor at least one swing up and one swing down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday’s setups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Emini<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here are several reasonable stop entry setups from yesterday. I show each buy entry with a green rectangle and each sell entry with a red rectangle. I rarely also show limit order entries and entries on the close of bars. My goal with these charts is to present an Always In perspective. If a trader was trying to be Always In or nearly Always In a position all day, and he was not currently in the market, these entries would be logical times for him to enter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EURUSD Forex 1st leg up after test of support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"EURUSD<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The EURUSD daily Forex chart has been sideways for 3 days after reversing up from the bottom of the 4 month trading range. Legs up and down in trading ranges typically subdivide into at least 2 smaller legs. Therefore, the odds are that there are buyers below at around a 50% retracement. Then, the chart will likely have at least a small 2nd leg sideways to up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While all trading ranges over the past year have broken out within a couple of months, this one is different. This is because traders are waiting for the resolution of the Brexit problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traders believe the current price is fair. They expect that Brexit will lead to a strong breakout up or down. Furthermore, there will probably be a 300 – 400 pip measured move on the breakout. Until there is a breakout, they will continue to look for reversals every few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overnight EURUSD Forex trading<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The EURUSD 5 minute Forex chart has been in a 20 pip range for the past 7 hours. The moves are so small that it is difficult even for scalpers to make money. Day traders are trading reversals, looking for 10 pip scalps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The daily range has been shrinking for 4 days. Also, the past 3 days have been sideways in a tight trading range. Traders know that the odds favor a 100 pip pullback within a few days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, they also know that the rally might continue a little higher before the pullback begins. They therefore will scalp until there is a breakout up or down from this 3 day tight range. And, once there is a breakout, they expect it to be small and reverse within a few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summary of today’s S&P Emini futures price action and what to expect tomorrow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here are several reasonable stop entry setups for today. I show each buy entry with a green rectangle and each sell entry with a red rectangle. I rarely also show limit order entries and entries on the close of bars. My goal with these charts is to present an Always In perspective.

End of day summary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Emini rallied strongly on the FOMC announcement. It stalled just below the December 12 start of the stock market crash. It might go sideways for a few days. The bears want a double top with that high. However, the momentum up has been strong for 4 weeks. Consequently, the bears will likely need several bear bars before they can get a reversal down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bulls want a strong breakout above that high. However, rallies typically stall once they reach the top of the most recent sell climax. The Emini will therefore probably be sideways for a few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
