The Weekly S&P 500 Emini chart

Emini Weekly - Bulls Need FT Buying, Final flag, Weekly Emini Bulls Need Follow-through
  • This week’s Emini candlestick was an outside bull bar closing in its upper half.
  • Last week, we said traders would see if the bulls could create follow-through buying above the December 6 high, or if the market would stall and form a pullback in the weeks ahead instead.
  • The market traded slightly lower on Wednesday, but there was no follow-through selling. The market made a new high on Friday, closing the candlestick as a small bear bar.
  • The bulls have a breakout above the December 6 high and want a resumption of the bull trend.
  • They want another strong leg up from a double bottom bull flag (May 23 and Jun 23).
  • They want a Leg 1 = Leg 2 move, which will take the market to the 6800 area (leg 1 being the Apr 21 low to the May 19 high).
  • They must create a strong breakout above the prior all-time high (Dec 6) with follow-through buying to increase the odds of a sustained move.
  • The bears see the current move as a buy vacuum retest of the prior trend’s extreme high (Dec 6).
  • They want a reversal from a higher high major trend reversal and a double top (Dec 6).
  • They want a failed breakout above the prior all-time high.
  • If the market trades higher, they see the last 3 weeks forming a possible final flag of the move.
  • They must create strong consecutive bear bars to show they are back in control. So far, they haven’t been able to do so since the April low.
  • So far, the move up since the April 21 low is in a tight bull channel.
  • The buying pressure is stronger (strong consecutive bull bars closing near their highs) than the weaker selling pressure (bear bars with limited follow-through selling).
  • The market could still trade at least a little higher.
  • The market is Always In Long.
  • Traders will see if the bulls can create follow-through buying above the December 6 high.
  • Or will the market stall and form a pullback in the weeks ahead instead?
  • For now, the market remains in the sideways to up phase.
  • Odds slightly favor any pullback to be minor.

Emini Daily - Sideways Consolidation, Bulls Need FT Buying

  • The bulls got a strong retest of the December 6 high in a tight bull channel.
