Emini Testing 5,200

By

Trading Update: Friday March 8, 2024

S&P Emini pre-open market analysis

Emini daily chart

  • The Emini gapped up yesterday, closing above the high of March 4th, and is getting near the 5,200 round number.
  • The daily chart is still in a bull channel forming open gaps. This increases the odds of trend resumption or sideways to up.
  • The bears need to begin to get closes below the moving average. Without it, the best the bears can expect is a trading range.
  • Even if the bears can get closes below the moving average, the odds will favor a trading range and not a bear trend.
  • The market is approaching 5,200, and it may have to reach it before it pulls back.
  • Overall, traders should assume that the odds will favor sideways to up until the bears are able to create more selling pressure.

Emini Intra Day Update

  • The open rallied, forming a bull trend from the open bull trend. As of bar 12, the market is Always Long, and the odds favor a bull trend or a trading range, and not a bear trend.
  • The bears need to create more selling pressure if they are going to take control of the market.
  • Even if the bears can create more selling pressure, the odds will favor sideways around the moving average.
  • The rally to bar 12 is strong enough for a second leg up.
  • The bears will need to try to form a major trend reversal before they have a realistic chance of getting a reversal.
  • The market may begin to go sideways for several hours and decide on trend resumption or trend reversal later in the day.
  • As of bar 16, the odds still favor at least a small 2nd leg above the bar 8 high.

Yesterday’s Emini setups

SP500 Emini 5-Minute Chart Bull Trend From Open Then Trading Range

Al created the SP500 Emini charts.

Here are reasonable stop entry setups from yesterday. I show each buy entry bar with a green arrow and each sell entry bar with a red arrow. Buyers of both the Brooks Trading Course and Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns have access to a near 4-year library of more detailed explanations of swing trade setups (see Online Course/BTC Daily Setups). Encyclopedia members get current daily charts added to Encyclopedia.

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. These therefore are swing entries.

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.

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 Emini.
