S&P Emini market analysis
Emini daily chart
- The Emini gapped up today on the daily chart and is trying to get a close above yesterday’s outside down bar.
- The bulls are hopeful that this is going to lead to a successful bull breakout of the two-week-long trading range.
- The Bears see the breakout above yesterday’s outside down bar as a third leg up in a wedge. Next, they want today to reverse down and form a bear bar closing on its low. This would increase the risk of bulls selling out longs below today’s low, assuming it has a strong bear close.
- The bulls still have the issue of the market being far away from the moving average, and that increases the risk that the upside is limited. This means that the market may end up mainly going sideways and drawing the moving average up to the current price.
- 6,000 is a significant round number, and the market may spend considerable time at this level over the next several weeks.
Emini 5-minute chart and what to expect today
- Today, a large gap formed with three consecutive bull bars on the open.
- The rally on the open increases the odds of today being a bull trend day or a trading range day, and not a bear trend day.
- Because the Globex market had a fairly climactic rally, this increases the odds that the rally up to three was more likely to lead to a trading range and not the start of the bull trend.
- Most opens have trading range opens and not bull trends from the opens. Generally, there is an 80% chance of a trading range opening, and only a 20% chance of a bull trend from the open.
- With the market being far away from the moving average today, we’ll probably have to test down to the moving average, which is what happened on bar 13. Because bar 13 failed to reach the moving average, there is added risk that the reversal up above 13 will be minor and lead to a pullback to the moving average.
Yesterday’s Emini setups
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.
