Posted 6:58 a.m. The Emini began with a strong breakout above yesterday’s 4 hour trading range, but it paused at the top of the breakout from the March FOMC report and at a leg 1 = leg 2 measured move target. When a bull trend has exceptional strength late in a trend where the pullbacks […]

Bull trend breakout
Monthly S&P500 Emini candle chart: Small pullback bull trend The monthly Emini candle chart is overbought, but in a small pullback bull trend, which is the strongest type of bull trend. The monthly S&P500 Emini candle chart has an ioi sell setup in a buy climax, but it has not triggered the short. There is […]

Breakout above the double top
Posted 6:54 a.m. Yesterday ended with a 10 bar tight trading range and today opened with more trading range bars. Although the Emini is always in long and the rally was in a tight channel, the rally contained consecutive buy climaxes. This will tend to limit the upside over the first hour or two. Bulls […]

Trading range for day traders
Posted 7:00 a.m. The Emini had a big bull trend bar on the open, but the breakout above yesterday’s high failed. The reversal down lacked strong follow-through selling. This is trading range price action and it formed after yesterday’s trading range day and in a 3 day trading range at the top of a month […]

Support and resistance
Posted 6:58 a.m. The Emini opened with a strong reversal up. However, because there was no clear bottom, like a major trend reversal or a wedge, the odds are that the bulls will need a pullback to form a higher low major trend reversal before they can go much higher. The Emini is always in […]

Monthly sell signal bar
Monthly S&P500 Emini candle chart: Bear ioi sell signal The monthly Emini candle chart is in a strong bull trend, but it formed another bear ioi sell signal with March’s close. The monthly S&P500 cash index has not touched the moving average in 34 months, which is a type of buy climax. Any unsustainable behavior […]

Bull channel testing the bull trendline
Posted 7:00 a.m. The bulls had a breakout above yesterday’s trading range and strong follow-through. This reaffirms the always in long condition. The breakout is big enough so the there probably will be buyers below for at least one more leg up. With so much time spent sideways over the past week, this breakout might […]

Bear trend channel within a trading range
I will post around 7:03 a.m. The Emini had a strong bear breakout on the open and is always in short. However, this is climactic selling and the market is far below the moving average. The stop is far away so the risk has increased. The computers have to reduce their risk and this means […]
