Trading Update: Friday November 14, 2025
S&P E-mini market analysis
E-mini daily chart
- The E-mini sold off yesterday, forming a strong bear reversal bar, closing on its low. This was a strong enough downside breakout to trap the bulls who bought the November 12th rally, hoping for a 2nd leg up.
- Because of yesterday’s selloff, it is strong enough that the odds favor a 2nd leg down and any bounce leading to a minor reversal.
- Today gapped down on the RTH (day only) chart. The gap down was testing the support of the bottom 1/3rd of the November 7th bull reversal bar. Because bears got trapped, this increased the odds of buyers below and the market getting a bounce, which is what happened during today’s session.
- The selloff from the November 13th high was climactic, making the risk big for the bears. Because of this, bears were likely to buy back shorts, and bulls were possible to buy, betting on a bounce.
- The daily chart is in a trading range, which increases the odds of a bounce and the market going sideways.
E-mini 5-minute chart and what to expect today
- Today gapped down and rallied, forming an opening reversal bull trend.
- The bulls formed a strong upside breakout up to bar 6, which was strong enough for a measured move up.
- The bulls formed a wedge top up to bar 24. Even though it was a wedge top, it is a strong enough bull breakout on a higher time frame. This increases the odds of a trading range and limits the downside.
Yesterday’s E-mini setups

Richard created the SP500 E-mini 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 E-mini.
