S&P Emini market analysis

Emini daily chart

  • Emini tested up to the December 6th high yesterday and after yesterday’s rally.
  • While the rally was good for the bears, it is a disappointing bar due to the tail above it. This increases the odds of the market going sideways to down over the next several weeks.
  • The odds favored sellers back at the December 6th high due to disappointed bulls selling out of longs and bears looking to establish shorts.
  • The bears, at a minimum, need to add to the selling pressure and make the market go sideways.
  • The bears hope this is the start of a strong reversal below the moving average.
  • Because the channel up has been tight, the odds favor sideways trading and not a strong reversal today or tomorrow.
  • Overall, the bull channel forms a wedge top and will likely be corrected soon. This increases the risk of a test to the November 19th low over the next several weeks. It is important to realize that the market can go sideways for a long time before the bears get the test down.

Emini 5-minute chart and what to expect today

  • The Emini gapped down on the open and is testing yesterday’s low.
  • Because of yesterday’s rally’s strength, the odds favor a trading range today, not a strong bear trend day.
  • This means traders will probably look to buy and attempt to go below yesterday’s low.
  • The bulls see the selloff that began at yesterday’s high as a pullback following the large bull breakout. Next, the bulls want a rally and test of yesterday’s high.

Yesterday’s Emini setups

SP500 Emini 5-Min Chart Small PB Bull Trend and 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.
