However, the sell-off last night was climactic, and that increased the odds that the market would find buyers and today would likely form a bull reversal bar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Because the daily chart has been in a tight trading range for several months, any reversal down is likely to get bought.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bulls who bought above March 3<sup>rd<\/sup>, willing to scale in lower, or likely to make money. This means that the market will probably test back up to the March 3<sup>rd<\/sup> high at a minimum.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Because of the lack of strong bear bars and the context being a tight trading range, the odds are that the downside sell-off is going to fail and lead to a reversal back up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Overall, the bulls want to form a strong bull reversal bar closing on its high today. Next, they want tomorrow to form a strong follow-through buying, increasing the odds of a 2<sup>nd<\/sup> leg up and a test of the March 3<sup>rd<\/sup> high.<\/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>Today gapped down in the open and sold off for the first 9 bars of the day. Because bar 1 was a doji, it was a weak sell signal bar below, which increased the odds of buyers willing to scale in lower.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The gap down was also climactic, and the market was testing support on higher timeframes. This increased the odds that the market would likely find an opening reversal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>While the bears did a good job on the first five bars, the context was not ideal, and that increased the odds the market was forming a trading range, meaning bulls would be willing to buy and scale in lower. That&#8217;s what led to the reversal up and the strong rally up to bar 17.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The bulls are hopeful that the market will get a measured move from the low of bar 9 to the high of bar 1, projecting near last Friday\u2019s close.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As of bar 33, the market is in a bull trend. The bulls are hopeful that they can continue the bull trend and make it last all day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Friday&#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\/2026\/03\/SP500-E-mini-Gap-Down-in-Market-Bear-Channel-and-Trading-Range-Day.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SP500-E-mini-Gap-Down-in-Market-Bear-Channel-and-Trading-Range-Day-680x383.jpg\" alt=\"SP500 E-mini Gap Down in Market Bear Channel and Trading Range Day\" class=\"wp-image-264835\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SP500-E-mini-Gap-Down-in-Market-Bear-Channel-and-Trading-Range-Day-680x383.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SP500-E-mini-Gap-Down-in-Market-Bear-Channel-and-Trading-Range-Day-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SP500-E-mini-Gap-Down-in-Market-Bear-Channel-and-Trading-Range-Day-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SP500-E-mini-Gap-Down-in-Market-Bear-Channel-and-Trading-Range-Day.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Richard created the SP500 E-mini chart.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"caption\">Here are reasonable stop entry setups from Friday.

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\/2026\/03\/SP500-E-mini-Gap-Down-Double-Bottom-Strong-Rally-Outside-Up-Day.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SP500-E-mini-Gap-Down-Double-Bottom-Strong-Rally-Outside-Up-Day-680x383.jpg\" alt=\"SP500 E-mini Gap Down Double Bottom Strong Rally Outside Up Day\" class=\"wp-image-265041\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SP500-E-mini-Gap-Down-Double-Bottom-Strong-Rally-Outside-Up-Day-680x383.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SP500-E-mini-Gap-Down-Double-Bottom-Strong-Rally-Outside-Up-Day-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SP500-E-mini-Gap-Down-Double-Bottom-Strong-Rally-Outside-Up-Day-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SP500-E-mini-Gap-Down-Double-Bottom-Strong-Rally-Outside-Up-Day.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Richard created the SP500 E-mini chart.<\/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>.
