This is a strong enough breakout to increase the odds of a 2<sup>nd<\/sup> leg up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The March 15<sup>th<\/sup> buy signal bar was a 2<sup>nd<\/sup> entry buy and a 2<sup>nd<\/sup> failed breakout attempt of the 2022 Close.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Because the March 13<sup>th<\/sup> selloff was likely a bear leg in a trading range, many traders bought above yesterday\u2019s bar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Typically, when the market is in a trading range, it is only a matter of time before the breakout points (gaps) get tested, and the market will close them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bears are willing to sell low in a possible trading range if they suspect the movement is strong enough to drive the market lower. When the momentum dries up as it did from March 13<sup>th<\/sup> to March 15<sup>th<\/sup>, traders begin to buy. Bear buy back shorts, and bulls buy to go long.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Yesterday\u2019s bar is strong and a sign of urgency. This increases the odds of a 2<sup>nd<\/sup> leg up after any pullback.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>One logical target for the bulls is the March 6<sup>th<\/sup> low. Bulls got trapped buying this low during the bear breakout on March 7<sup>th<\/sup>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Several bulls would exit on March 7<sup>th<\/sup> because of the risk of a downside breakout. However, many bulls reestablished longs above the March 15<sup>th<\/sup> buy signal bar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The bulls who sold out of longs on March 7<sup>th<\/sup> went flat because their premise was no longer valid. They were willing to buy high if the market was in a bull trend. However, March 7<sup>th<\/sup> confirmed the market was in a likely Trading range, and the bottom of the range could be the 2022 Close.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Because of the strength of yesterday\u2019s bar, it is reasonable for those bulls to consider holding their longs, taking a chance that the market will test back up to the bar on March 6<sup>th<\/sup> low, where the bulls got trapped.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The bears want to prevent the market from allowing the March 6<sup>th<\/sup> bull out of the trade. At a minimum, the bears will likely need some kind of double top before forming a credible swing short.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the bears can get a strong selloff today, it would create a 2<sup>nd<\/sup> entry short (Low 2). However, the bears will have to make a strong bear reversal bar to undo the damage caused by yesterday\u2019s strong breakout bar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is possible today that a big bear bar is closing on its low. However, I suspect there are buyers below today\u2019s bar, even if it is a bear bar. Some bears are trapped in a losing short position because of the March 16<sup>th<\/sup> bull breakout bar. These bears will likely use any pullback to exit shorts with a smaller loss.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Some bulls are trapped out of the market. They will likely use any pullback to establish longs in order not to miss any potential rally.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Overall, traders will pay close attention to today. If today is another strong bull close, it will increase the odds that the market is going above the March 6<sup>th<\/sup> low. More likely, the bulls will be disappointed with today\u2019s close, and it will remind traders that the market is in a trading range. Because of Yesterday\u2019s big bull breakout bar, traders will expect a 2<sup>nd<\/sup> leg up.<\/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 22 points in the overnight Globex session.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Globex market has been in a selloff since the early morning hours. It is likely testing yesterday\u2019s breakout point (3,945). This is an area where bears got trapped before the strong upside breakout during the U.S. Session.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Traders should have a trading range open, which means most traders will expect the first 6-12 bars to have a lot of trading range price action and go sideways.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Most traders should try and catch a swing trade on the open. It is common to begin before the end of the second hour after forming a double top\/bottom or a wedge top\/bottom.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Today is Friday, so weekly support and resistance are important. This means traders should be open to the possibility of a surprise breakout late in the day as traders decide on the close of the weekly chart.<\/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 down and went sideways for the first 9 bars of the day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The bulls tried to break out above the moving average on bar 7; the market reversed on bar 8 (7:10 AM PT), forming a Low 2 short. This was a reasonable short for a possible high of the day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The bears got a 10-bar bear microchannel don to bar 16 (7:50). While the channel down was tight, it was also a parabolic wedge bottom. This increased the odds of sideways trading.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The market has probably seen the high of the day. The bulls must develop more buying pressure before they can reverse the selloff.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>So far, today is bad follow-through on the daily chart. The bulls have a strong bull breakout, and so far, they are disappointed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At the moment, the bulls have no sign of a bottom, and until they can develop more buying pressure, traders should expect every bull reversal attempt to fail.<\/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\/03\/SP500-Emini-5-min-Chart-Double-Bottom-Small-Pullback-Bull-Trend-Then-Trading-Range.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/SP500-Emini-5-min-Chart-Double-Bottom-Small-Pullback-Bull-Trend-Then-Trading-Range-680x383.png\" alt=\"SP500 Emini 5-min Chart Double Bottom Small Pullback Bull Trend Then Trading Range.

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\/2023\/03\/EURUSD-Daily-Probably-Buyers-Below-and-Sdieways.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/EURUSD-Daily-Probably-Buyers-Below-and-Sdieways-680x383.jpg\" alt=\"EURUSD Daily: Probably Buyers Below and Sidways\" class=\"wp-image-173789\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/EURUSD-Daily-Probably-Buyers-Below-and-Sdieways-680x383.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/EURUSD-Daily-Probably-Buyers-Below-and-Sdieways-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/EURUSD-Daily-Probably-Buyers-Below-and-Sdieways-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/EURUSD-Daily-Probably-Buyers-Below-and-Sdieways.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The EURUSD &nbsp;daily chart had a strong bear outside a bar two days ago.
