S&P Emini market analysis

Emini daily chart

  • The Emini formed a weak buy signal bar on January 8th following the prior day’s bear reversal bar. The Bulls are hopeful that today, they will find buyers below the January 2nd low and form a wedge bottom with December 18th and January 2nd.
  • January 8th was a strong enough reversal bar that the odds favored sellers above the January 8th high, which led to today’s gap down during the Globex market.
  • The bears want a 2nd leg down following the December 18th bear breakout. Next, they want a test of the November 4th major higher low.
  • The daily chart is collecting bars below the moving average. This is a clear sign that the bulls are losing control and that the daily chart is now in a trading range.
  • The bears need a clear downside breakout to make the market Always In Short.
  • More likely, the market will find buyers near the November low and continue to go sideways.

Emini 5-minute chart and what to expect today

  • The Emin gapped down and formed a bear trend from the open.
  • Bear 9 formed a possible parabolic wedge bottom, increasing the odds of a reversal, which happened on bar 12.
  • The bulls are hopeful that bar 12 is strong enough to lead to an early low of the day. More likely, the market will go sideways. However, the reversal is strong enough for a 2nd leg up. 
  • The context is bad for a bear trend day, which means the odds favor a reversal up. This is because the daily chart is forming a possible wedge bottom with the January 2nd low.
  • The Bulls hope that the reversal up to bar 12 is strong enough to lead to a test of the day’s high. While it is possible, it is not yet high probability.
  • Bears should wait to sell due to the strong reversal up from bar 12. At a minimum, the Bulls will likely get a 2nd leg up.
  • The Bulls got a second leg up with bar 16. While the rally is good for the bulls, it has overlap, which increases the odds of a test down to the bar 9 bad buy signal bar high.
  • It would be better for the bulls if the market formed a double bottom with the bar 9 low. The bulls want the 2nd leg down from bar 16 to form a wedge bottom and a double bottom with the bar 9 low.  

Wednesday’s Emini setups

SP500 Emini 5-Min Chart Wedge Bottom and Then Trading Range Day

Al created the SP500 Emini charts.

Here are reasonable stop entry setups from Wednesday (pre market close for Jimmy Carter’s National Day of Mourning). 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.
