This is a sign of weakness by the Bears and increases the odds that the market will go sideways.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The other problem that the Bears have is that the past four trading days have a lot of overlap. This lowers the probability of both the bulls and the bears.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>While the bulls have done a good job making the market go sideways, that is not enough, and the odds favor the bears getting a large second leg down following last Friday&#8217;s downside breakout.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The target for the Bears is the most recent major higher low, which is the September 2<sup>nd<\/sup> low. This means that realistically, there are likely sellers above willing to scale higher. The Bulls would need to get a strong breakout and follow-through above last Friday&#8217;s high if they&#8217;re going to convince the Bears to give up, and this is unlikely.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">E-mini 5-minute chart and what to expect today<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The market formed a trading range on the open and went sideways for the first several bars. This increases the odds that today will have a lot of trading range price action.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The bulls formed a strong reversal with follow-through during bars 26-27, and it led to a strong rally up to bar 32, making the market Always In Long.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The bulls are hopeful they&#8217;ll get a strong breakout above the bar 10 high, and the market will rally for some measured move.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>While the odds favor the market going a little bit higher, the reality is that the odds favor a trading range. This means that the upside is likely going to be limited.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Yesterday&#8217;s E-mini setups<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/SP500-E-mini-5-Min-Gap-Up-Opening-Trading-Range-Then-Broad-Bear-Channel.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"382\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/SP500-E-mini-5-Min-Gap-Up-Opening-Trading-Range-Then-Broad-Bear-Channel-680x382.jpg\" alt=\"SP500 E-mini 5-Min Gap Up Opening Trading Range Then Broad Bear Channel\" class=\"wp-image-252791\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/SP500-E-mini-5-Min-Gap-Up-Opening-Trading-Range-Then-Broad-Bear-Channel-680x382.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/SP500-E-mini-5-Min-Gap-Up-Opening-Trading-Range-Then-Broad-Bear-Channel-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/SP500-E-mini-5-Min-Gap-Up-Opening-Trading-Range-Then-Broad-Bear-Channel-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/SP500-E-mini-5-Min-Gap-Up-Opening-Trading-Range-Then-Broad-Bear-Channel.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Richard created the SP500 E-mini charts &#8211; Al travelling.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"caption\">Here are reasonable stop entry setups from yesterday. I show each buy entry bar with a green arrow and each sell entry bar with a red arrow. Buyers of both the Brooks Trading Course and Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns have access to a near 4-year library of more detailed explanations of swing trade setups (see Online Course\/BTC Daily Setups). Encyclopedia members get current daily charts added to Encyclopedia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"caption\">My goal with these charts is to present an Always In perspective. 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 E-mini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary of today&#8217;s S&amp;P E-mini price action<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/SP500-E-mini-5-Min-Double-Triple-Bottom-Top-in-Broad-Bull-Channel.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"382\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/SP500-E-mini-5-Min-Double-Triple-Bottom-Top-in-Broad-Bull-Channel-680x382.jpg\" alt=\"SP500 E-mini 5-Min Double-Triple Bottom-Top in Broad Bull Channel\" class=\"wp-image-252854\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/SP500-E-mini-5-Min-Double-Triple-Bottom-Top-in-Broad-Bull-Channel-680x382.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/SP500-E-mini-5-Min-Double-Triple-Bottom-Top-in-Broad-Bull-Channel-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/SP500-E-mini-5-Min-Double-Triple-Bottom-Top-in-Broad-Bull-Channel-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/SP500-E-mini-5-Min-Double-Triple-Bottom-Top-in-Broad-Bull-Channel.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Richard created the SP500 E-mini charts &#8211; Al travelling.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><em>See the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/blog\/analysis\/\" target=\"_blank\">weekly update<\/a> for a discussion of the price action on the weekly chart and for what to expect going into next week.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trading Room<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Al Brooks and other presenters talk about the detailed E-mini price action real-time each day in the Brooks Trading Course <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/online-day-trading-room\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">trading room<\/a>.
