While this is good for the bulls, the rally is getting very climactic, which increases the odds of profit-taking soon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>So far today is forming a climactic bull bar following yesterday\u2019s doji bull bar. Yesterday\u2019s doji increases the odds of the market getting a pullback to yesterday\u2019s high within the next 1-3 trading days.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The bulls are hopeful that today will close on its high, beyond the prior All-time high. The bears want to form a selloff today, creating a tail above today\u2019s bar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Overall, the bulls have done a great job with the rally; however, at this point, the rally is getting climactic, and the risk is getting very large for the Bulls. This increases the odds of the market pulling back over the next several bars. This will also likely limit the upside for the next couple of days as bulls begin to take partial profits.<\/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 up on the open and went sideways for the first 4 bars. The bulls managed to get a 2<sup>nd<\/sup> leg up to bar 9 following the gap up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The rally to bar 9 was strong. This increased the odds of the bulls getting a 2<sup>nd<\/sup> leg up, which ended at the bar 16 high.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As of bar 30, the market is forming a triangle above the moving average. The bulls hope it is a bull flag that will lead to higher prices, and the bears hope it will lead to a final flag, followed by a downside breakout.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Because of all the buying pressure, the market may have to go sideways for more bars to collect more selling pressure before the bears can get a reversal down.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>However, because the higher time frame is getting climactic and the market is above the prior all-time high, there&#8217;s increased risk that today may form a tail above the bar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Today is unlikely to be a bear trend day with all the buying pressure; however, the bears will try their best to close the market below the midpoint of the day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Realistically, the bears will need more selling pressure if they&#8217;re going to get a reversal down. At a minimum, they need closes below the moving average. Without this, the odds are the market will continue to go sideways to up.<\/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\/2026\/04\/SP500-E-mini-Bulls-Push-up-to-New-All-time-High-in-Trading-Range-Day.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/SP500-E-mini-Bulls-Push-up-to-New-All-time-High-in-Trading-Range-Day-680x383.jpg\" alt=\"SP500 E-mini Bulls Push up to New All-time High in Trading Range Day\" class=\"wp-image-267711\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/SP500-E-mini-Bulls-Push-up-to-New-All-time-High-in-Trading-Range-Day-680x383.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/SP500-E-mini-Bulls-Push-up-to-New-All-time-High-in-Trading-Range-Day-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/SP500-E-mini-Bulls-Push-up-to-New-All-time-High-in-Trading-Range-Day-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/SP500-E-mini-Bulls-Push-up-to-New-All-time-High-in-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 yesterday.
