This is disappointing for bulls and a sign of trading range price action. The market is getting near the bottom of the 3-month trading range (February \u2013 April) and will likely test the May 2 low today or tomorrow.<\/li><li>Yesterday\u2019s doji is very close to May 2 low, an important magnet. It is the bottom of the trading range and a logical area for bulls to take profits. Some bulls who were disappointed by the selloff down to May 12 would take profits early just in case the market did not reach the May 2 low.<\/li><li>The reversal up from May 12 is strong enough that the odds favor at least a small second leg up.<\/li><li>The bears hope the current rally will form a double top around the May 2 low and keep the May 2 gap open. This would increase the odds of the market needing to fall below the May 12 low.<\/li><li>Overall, the market will likely have to rally for a couple of legs and reach the May 2 high and possibly the May 4 high before the bears have a chance at a second leg down.<\/li><li>The bears want to prevent the bulls from getting a strong reversal up. The bears hope to get a lower high below March 29 that will test below May 12.<\/li><li>Traders should expect sideways to up over the next few days.<\/li><li>Another note is that the market will probably have to go above the high of last week\u2019s 4,069 and trigger the stop entry buy on the weekly chart. &nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Emini 5-minute chart and what to expect today<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Emini is up 65 points in the overnight Globex session.<\/li><li>The bulls got a strong breakout during the overnight Globex session and the early morning session.<\/li><li>The U.S. day session will gap up today.<\/li><li>At the moment, the Globex market is at the May 2 low and will likely stay around this price during the U.S. day session. The bulls want today to close above the May 2 low as a sign of strength by the bulls.<\/li><li>The bears want to undo the damage the bulls have caused by creating a bear trend day and reversing the gap (assuming we get one).<\/li><li>The market will gap up, which means traders should expect a pullback to the moving average before there is a swing trade as the highest probability. This means traders should expect a trading range open.<\/li><li>Since there will be a gap up, this increases the odds of the market having a bull trend day today.<\/li><li>As usual, traders should wait for a credible stop entry or strong breakout with follow-through before trading.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Yesterday&#8217;s Emini setups<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Emini-double-top-then-double-bottom-pullback-and-OO-bull-flag-followed-by-nested-wedge-top-in-trading-range-day.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Emini-double-top-then-double-bottom-pullback-and-OO-bull-flag-followed-by-nested-wedge-top-in-trading-range-day-680x383.png\" alt=\"Emini double top then double bottom pullback and OO bull flag followed by nested wedge top in trading range day.

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"caption\">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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"caption\">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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">EURUSD Forex market trading strategies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">EURUSD Forex daily chart<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/EURUSD-Daily-Bulls-Reversed-Back-into-10-Bar-Tight-Trading-Range.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/EURUSD-Daily-Bulls-Reversed-Back-into-10-Bar-Tight-Trading-Range-680x383.jpg\" alt=\"EURUSD Daily Bulls Reversed Back into 10 Bar Tight Trading Range\" class=\"wp-image-151251\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/EURUSD-Daily-Bulls-Reversed-Back-into-10-Bar-Tight-Trading-Range-680x383.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/EURUSD-Daily-Bulls-Reversed-Back-into-10-Bar-Tight-Trading-Range-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/EURUSD-Daily-Bulls-Reversed-Back-into-10-Bar-Tight-Trading-Range-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/EURUSD-Daily-Bulls-Reversed-Back-into-10-Bar-Tight-Trading-Range-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/EURUSD-Daily-Bulls-Reversed-Back-into-10-Bar-Tight-Trading-Range.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The bulls had a strong rally during the overnight session.
