S&P Emini market analysis

Emini daily chart

  • The Emini formed a doji bar after last Friday’s high 1 buy signal bar. Even though yesterday was not a strong follow-through for the bulls, it is a bad sell signal bar for the bears, which increases the odds of buyers below.
  • The bulls still likely see last Wednesday’s bar as strong enough for a 2nd leg up and a minimum a test of the bar’s high.
  • The market reached close last Wednesday, likely creating resistance. However, the market will probably test higher over the next few days.
  • The bears are hopeful that last Wednesday was a bull trap that led to a selloff. While this is possible, the reality is that even if the market falls below last Wednesday’s low, buyers are likely to scale in lower. This increases the odds that bulls will look to buy and scale in lower if needed.
  • Overall, the odds favor a 2nd leg up and a test above last Wednesday’s high at a minimum.

Emini 5-minute chart and what to expect today

  • The Emini gapped up and rallied, forming a bull trend from the open up to bar 5. It was reasonable for the bulls to buy after bar 2 and look for a test of yesterday’s high, a credible magnet for the market to reach.
  • Bar 10 was a surprise bear breakout. However, the bears failed to create follow-through selling, and the market is attempting to reverse back up on bar 13. At the moment, the odds favor a test back up to the high of the day.
  • The bulls are hopeful that bar 11 is just a pullback below the bar 1 low and the bulls will still manage to get a 2nd leg up and a test of yesterday’s high.
  • So far today, we have had a lot of trading range price action. This increases the risk that today, there will continue to be a lot of trading range price action.

Yesterday’s Emini setups

SP500 Emini 5-Min Chart Double Top Measured Move Down Then Reversal

Richard created the SP500 Emini chart – Al travelling.

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.
