Bulls want today to trigger the buy and close above Monday\u2019s (January 9<sup>th<\/sup>) bear bar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bulls measuring gap and measured move up wanted to trap the bears into a bad short (Monday) and to get up to the December 13<sup>th<\/sup> high. While the bulls may get a measuring gap above the January 9<sup>th<\/sup> bear bar, it is not a high probability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The bulls need to get consecutive strong bull closes before traders become convinced that the bulls are getting a bull breakout of a bear flag, and the market will try for the measured move up to the December 12<sup>th<\/sup> high.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the bulls get the upside breakout, one obvious target is the top of the bear trend line above. The market came close to it on December 13<sup>th<\/sup> but failed to reach it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The bears see January 9<sup>th<\/sup> as a credible short. This means there will be bears sold below January 9<sup>th<\/sup> and are willing to scale in higher, possibly around the 4,000 big round number. This increases the odds of a breakout above January 9<sup>th,<\/sup> leading to more sideways trading.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This risk the bears face right now is a tight bull channel (think small pullback bull trend behavior) that traps the bears into a bad trade. If the bulls do beg a breakout here, it could trap bears on the wrong side of the market and squeeze them out at a higher price.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The bears want a failed breakout above January 9<sup>th<\/sup> (assuming the market goes above it) and a second entry short for a second leg down from the December 20<sup>th<\/sup> selloff.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Right now, the bears still have a negative gap with the December 6<sup>th<\/sup> low. The bulls need to close above the December 6<sup>th<\/sup> low; otherwise, it increases the odds that the market will get a second leg down to the November lows.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remember, legs typically have symmetry, which means the bears still have a reasonable argument of a second leg down from the December 13<sup>th<\/sup> selloff that is comparable in size. While the pullback from the December 13<sup>th<\/sup> selloff has many bull bars, the bears are not out of the fight yet. Therefore, traders need to be open to the possibility of a second leg down from the December 12<sup>th<\/sup> selloff, which could fall below the October 21<sup>st<\/sup> low.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Overall, the market is in a trading range, which means traders should expect sideways and disappointment. If a trader wants high probability, they need to wait for 2-3 strong consecutive trend bars and for one side to take control, which has not happened yet clearly.<\/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 up 14 points in the overnight Globex session.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The market has continued up in a broad channel since the early morning hours.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The bears are accumulating selling pressure, increasing the odds that the upside will be limited, and the market will begin to go sideways to down.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>While the market may continue higher, it is more likely that today will have a lot of trading range price action and disappoint the bulls.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As always, traders should expect a lot of trading range trading on the open. This means most traders should consider not trading for 6-12 bars if they are uncomfortable with limit order trading.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>While the open often has good swing trade setups, there are often a lot of failed breakouts. This makes it easy to get trapped into a bad breakout and to take a big loss.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the day is going to become a trend from the open, there will be plenty of time to get in the direction of the trend.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Traders can also wait for a double top\/bottom or a wedge top\/bottom, which often presents a good swing trade within the first two hours.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A trader can also wait for a clear breakout with follow-through, breaking out, and enter for a second leg.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The single most important thing on the open is to be patient. There will always be a trade later, so there is never a rush to enter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the day has a lot of trading range price action, traders should pay attention to the open of the day, especially if it is in the middle of the day\u2019s range.<\/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 gapped up on the open and went sideways for the first two hours of the day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The market touched the moving average, and the bulls are trying to get an upside breakout of the bar 4 high.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At the time of writing this, 8:55 AM PT the bulls are hopeful that the market is forming a small pullback bull trend. They want to create open gaps and trap bears selling at the top of the trading range.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At the moment, the market is probably Always In Long, but the bulls really need to get a strong breakout and follow-through above the high of bar 4, or else traders will expect more trading range price action to follow.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>So far, the range is less than 20 points and will likely double in size.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The January 9<sup>th<\/sup> high is a magnet, and the bulls want the day to close above it, increasing the odds of bears buying back shorts on the daily.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Overall, traders should wait for more selling pressure or wait for a clear upside breakout and follow-though above bar 4.<\/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-Expanding-Triangle-Open-Small-PB-bull-trend.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Emini-5-Min-Expanding-Triangle-Open-Small-PB-bull-trend-680x383.jpg\" alt=\"Emini 5-min Chart Expanding Triangle Open, Small Pullback Bull Trend.
