Emini and Forex Trading Update:
Thursday March 25, 2021
Pre-Open market analysis of daily chart
- Higher high major trend reversal with February high.
- Yesterday was big bear bar closing on its low. If today is another big bear day, especially if it is very big, odds will favor 10% correction down to 3,700 at bottom of 2021 trading range.
- Last week is sell signal bar on weekly chart, and today will probably gap below last week’s low. That would trigger the weekly sell signal. Bears want this week to be a big bear bar closing near its low.
- Bulls will try to prevent today from being a big bear day closing on its low. Traders would then conclude that the selloff is just a pullback, and they will look for a rally into the end of the quarter.
Overnight Emini Globex trading on 5-minute chart
- Emini is down 18 points in Globex session so it will probably gap below yesterday’s low.
- Since there is a higher high major trend reversal on daily chart, and yesterday was a big bear day, today is important. Increased chance of big bear trend day.
- Bulls would like strong bull day, but all they have to do is prevent big bear day. That would be enough to make the selloff more likely to be just a pullback from the March 17 high.
Yesterday’s Emini setups
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. Buyers of both the Brooks Trading Course and Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns have access to a much more detailed explanation of the swing trades for each day (see Online Course/BTC Daily Setups).
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.
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.
EURUSD Forex market trading strategies
EURUSD Forex daily chart
- Bear channel since January 6.
- Magnets below on daily chart are November 11 higher low, bottom of wedge, and measured move target.
- Most important magnet is November 4 low at 1.16 because that was start of final leg up of wedge rally on weekly chart. I have been saying since January top that the selloff probably had to reach that low.
- Traders have bought below prior lows so might bounce again at any time.
- No sign of bottom. Traders will sell every rally, until the bulls start to get higher highs and lows.
Overnight EURUSD Forex trading on 5-minute chart
- Tuesday’s strong bear breakout weakened into bear channel yesterday. A channel is a weaker bear trend. Usually continues to lose momentum and evolves into trading range.
- Broad bear channel since yesterday so day traders have been buying and selling for scalps.
- Since a bear channel is a bear trend, higher probability of making money by selling rallies than by buying reversals up.
- Oversold so can get swing up at any time.

End of day summary
- Emini sold off on the open but reversed up from a micro double bottom. The selloff was a perfect 50% retracement of the 3-week rally and a test below the open of the month.
- Today is a buy signal bar for tomorrow on the daily chart. The bulls are hoping for enough end of the quarter window dressing to create a new all-time high by the time March ends on Tuesday.
- Still in Small Pullback Bear Trend since the March 17 high, but more likely a bull flag. Should go higher.
