And this increases the odds that the E-mini will pull back over the next several days. Because the rally has been strong for the Bulls, the odds are against a sudden reversal down. Even if the market gets a deep pullback testing back to the 7000-round number, the odds will still favor a retest of the highs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This means that the best the Bears can probably expect is a trading range lasting for the next several bars. If the bears are going to get a successful reversal down, they will need more selling pressure. Otherwise, sideways is most likely.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Bulls are hopeful that the rally up to 7,200 is strong enough for a second leg up. However, because the rally is climactic, the odds are instead the market goes sideways for several bars.<\/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 mini gapped down on the open and went sideways for the first 12 bars forming a breakout mode below the moving average. The Bears got a reversal down with bar 12 and follow through with bars 13 14 and 15 Which increased the odds of the Bears getting a second leg down which they did on bar 17.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bar 17 was a climactic bar with a tail below it. This increased the odds of a trading range and a failed breakout below the 17 low, which is what happened on bars 20 and 21.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The bulls formed a strong reversal up with bar 24. This is a strong enough five bar bull micro channel that the odds favor a second leg up in a test back to the open of the day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The rally to bar 24 is strong enough to get a 2<sup>nd<\/sup> leg. The bulls are hopeful that the second leg up will be strong enough to lead to bar 20 being the low of the day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As of bar 35, traders are waiting to see what kind of second leg the bulls will be able to form.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The bears want the opposite. They are hopeful that the pullback to bar 34 is going to form an endless pullback that leads to a downside breakout followed by a measure move down of the bull flag.<\/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\/04\/SP500-E-mini-Big-Gap-Up-Rally-to-New-All-time-High-Then-Trading-Range.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/SP500-E-mini-Big-Gap-Up-Rally-to-New-All-time-High-Then-Trading-Range-680x383.jpg\" alt=\"SP500 E-mini Big Gap Up Rally to New All-time High Then Trading Range\" class=\"wp-image-267765\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/SP500-E-mini-Big-Gap-Up-Rally-to-New-All-time-High-Then-Trading-Range-680x383.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/SP500-E-mini-Big-Gap-Up-Rally-to-New-All-time-High-Then-Trading-Range-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/SP500-E-mini-Big-Gap-Up-Rally-to-New-All-time-High-Then-Trading-Range-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/SP500-E-mini-Big-Gap-Up-Rally-to-New-All-time-High-Then-Trading-Range.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.

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\/2026\/04\/SP500-E-mini-Opening-Range-Spike-Down-Then-Tight-Bull-Channel.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/SP500-E-mini-Opening-Range-Spike-Down-Then-Tight-Bull-Channel-680x383.jpg\" alt=\"SP500 E-mini Opening Range Spike Down Then Tight Bull Channel\" class=\"wp-image-267962\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/SP500-E-mini-Opening-Range-Spike-Down-Then-Tight-Bull-Channel-680x383.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/SP500-E-mini-Opening-Range-Spike-Down-Then-Tight-Bull-Channel-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/SP500-E-mini-Opening-Range-Spike-Down-Then-Tight-Bull-Channel-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.brookstradingcourse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/SP500-E-mini-Opening-Range-Spike-Down-Then-Tight-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 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>.
