While the probabilities may slightly favor the bulls, the market would not be in a tight trading range if one side had a clear advantage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The bulls want the 12-day tight trading range to form a higher low and rally back into the December month-long trading range.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the bulls are lucky, they will get an upside breakout in the form of consecutive strong bull breakouts during the test of the December 13<sup>th<\/sup> close. This would increase the odds of the bulls getting a breakout above the December 13<sup>th<\/sup> high and testing the August high.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More likely, the bulls will be disappointed by any rally, just like the bears have been disappointed with the follow-through after the five consecutive bear-bar breakout two weeks ago.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At a minimum, the bulls want to test the December 6<sup>th<\/sup> low, the bottom of the month-long trading range. Bulls got trapped buying the December 6<sup>th<\/sup> low during the December 15<sup>th<\/sup> bear breakout. Some of those bulls scaled in lower and got out breakeven on December 21<sup>st<\/sup>; however, others would hold long for a test back into the month-long trading range low.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The bears see the 12-day tight trading range as a pullback from the December 20<sup>th<\/sup> five-bar bear breakout. They want a second leg down testing the November low and possibly the October low.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the bears will reach the October low, they need a strong downside breakout below the 12-day tight trading range. They need consecutive solid trend bars with small tails and big bodies. Otherwise, traders will see the second leg down from here as a second leg trap and look to buy, betting on continued trading range price action.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Overall, the market is in a trading range on the daily chart. It is forming a tight trading range close to the midpoint of the past six months. This is neutral price action, meaning most traders should wait for the breakout before trading.<\/li>\n<\/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\">\n<li>Emini is down 20 points in the overnight Globex session. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Globex market has been in a trading range for most of the overnight and early morning session.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The bears got a downside breakout at 5:30 AM PT, and they hope this is the start of a strong trend day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More likely, the current selloff will disappoint the bears and remind traders that the market is in a trading range.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Traders should assume that today will have a lot of trading range price action and continue disappointing swing traders.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Traders should assume the first 6-12 bars on the open will go sideways and consider not trading them unless they are comfortable with limit orders.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Traders can also wait for a strong breakout with follow-through; however, at that point, the risk would be bigger, so they would need to trade the appropriate position size.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The market often forms a swing trade after it forms a double top\/bottom or a wedge top\/bottom. These are four very common patterns during the opening session, which means a trader can wait for one of these patterns to form before trading a stop-entry trade.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The single most important thing on the open is to be patient. If the bars are overlapping, wait for a clear breakout with follow-through.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the day is going to become a strong trend day, there will be plenty of time to trade in the direction of the trend, so there is no risk in waiting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Emini intraday market update<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Emini sold off in a 4-bar bear microchannel on the open. This was a strong enough surprise to likely have a second leg down, even though the market went above the high of bar 1 around 7:10 AM PT.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The rally up to 7:10 AM PT damaged the bear case, though, which means sideways is most likely. This is a big down, big up, big confusion, so sideways is most likely.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I am tying this at 7:35 AM PT, and the bears are likely getting the second leg down right now. However, it will probably stall around the low of bar 4 if it reaches it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The bulls will likely get a second leg up from the 7:10 AM rally, even if the second leg is just a retest of the 7:10 high.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Overall, this is a trading range open. Eventually, there will be a breakout up or down; however, traders should be patient.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Traders should be open to a double bottom, with the 7:30 AM area being the second leg and bar 4 being the first. If the bulls can get a double bottom, they will try and break out above the neckline (bar 1) and get a measured move up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At the moment, I think an upside breakout is more likely than a downside breakout. This is because the bears have been selling off since yesterday\u2019s bar 40. This means the market will probably convert into a trading range and go sideways to up. &nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/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\/2023\/01\/Emini-5-Min-Opening-Reversal-Trading-Range-Day-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Emini-5-Min-Opening-Reversal-Trading-Range-Day-2-680x383.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-168007\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Emini-5-Min-Opening-Reversal-Trading-Range-Day-2-680x383.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Emini-5-Min-Opening-Reversal-Trading-Range-Day-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Emini-5-Min-Opening-Reversal-Trading-Range-Day-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Emini-5-Min-Opening-Reversal-Trading-Range-Day-2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Emini-5-Min-Opening-Reversal-Trading-Range-Day-2.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Brad created the SP500 Emini charts.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"caption\">Here are several reasonable stop entry setups from yesterday.
