<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n- This week formed an outside bear bar closing near its low.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Last week<\/a>, we said traders would watch whether bulls could create more follow-through buying toward the next measured move around 8000 or whether the market would start to form bars with prominent upper tails or bear bars.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Bulls generated a strong rally in a spike and bull channel from the March 30 low.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Bulls want a measured move to around 8000, based on the height of the initial spike (from the March 30 low to the April 17 high).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Bulls see this week as a pullback and want at least a small sideways-to-up leg to retest the all-time high after the pullback, even if it only forms a lower high.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Bulls hope there are more buyers below the tight bull channel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Bulls want the pullback to be weak and sideways, lacking follow-through, with overlapping candlesticks and prominent lower tails.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- If the market trades lower, bulls want the 20-week EMA or the April 23 low (the start of the bull channel) to act as support.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Bears view the move as a buy climax that is unsustainable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Bears want a failed breakout above the trend channel line within a few bars, followed by a test of the bull trend line. This move could be underway.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Bears want a two-legged sideways-to-down pullback lasting a few weeks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Bears generated a strong bear bar breaking below the minor bull trend line this week. They need to create follow-through selling to indicate strength.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- After that, bears want a weak retest of the trend extreme high, forming a lower high major trend reversal or a small double top.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The market has rallied strongly in a tight bull channel, breaking above the trend channel line.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- While the move is strong, it has lasted a long time without a significant pullback, which is unsustainable and tends to attract profit-taking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Breakouts above a trend channel line typically fail within 2 to 5 bars, leading to a pullback into the bull channel or a test of the bull trend line. So far, this appears to be the case.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Since this week’s candlestick is an outside bear bar closing near its low, it is a sell signal bar for a failed breakout above the trend channel line.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The market could trade at least a little lower.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- However, this is the first sign of bearish strength since the rally started at the end of March. The first pullback may only be minor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Traders will watch whether bears can create a strong bear entry bar testing near the April 23 low area.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Or whether the market trades slightly lower but finds more buyers below the tight bull channel, followed by a retest of the all-time high within the next few weeks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- For now, any sideways-to-down pullback would likely be minor, even if it lasts a few weeks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n- The market formed a new all-time high early in the week, followed by a pullback that broke below the minor bull trend line and the 20-day EMA on Friday.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Previously<\/a>, we said traders would watch whether bulls could create more follow-through buying. If a pullback formed, traders would watch whether it was weak and sideways or strong, with consecutive bear bars closing near their lows.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Bears view the rally as overextended and climactic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Bears want a reversal from a wedge top (May 1, May 14, and Jun 1) and a higher high major trend reversal (the May 19 pullback broke below a minor bull trend line, followed by a higher-high test on June 1).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Bears want a failed breakout above the trend channel line, followed by a pullback to test the bull trend line.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- At a minimum, bears want a pullback to test the start of the channel around the April 23 low area.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- If the market trades higher within a few weeks, bears want the retest of the trend extreme high to be weak, forming a lower high major trend reversal and a double top.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

- This week, the market broke below the bull channel, the first significant sign of bearish strength since the March 30 low.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The bull channel phase starting from the April 23 low was relatively tight, which acts as a spike on a higher-time-frame chart.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Consecutive spikes (climaxes) increase the odds of a minor pullback within a few weeks. The pullback is underway.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Traders will watch whether bears can create a strong two-legged sideways-to-down pullback toward the April 23 low area.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
