Possible bear trend day
Posted 6:55 a.m. The Emini reversed down strongly from a test of the 60 minute moving average and became always in short on the 2nd bar of the day. The odds are that today will be a bear trend day, but it still might become a trading range day. Less likely, it would become a […]

Pullback to test support
Posted 6:57 a.m. The Emini reversed up from below yesterday’s low and formed a 2 day high 2 buy setup. If the bulls are able to rally to a new high, the rally will probably fail and create a final flag top. This would create a bigger pullback. The bears are hoping that this 2 […]

Buy climax and trend exhaustion
Posted 6:53 a.m. Today gapped below the trading range and reversed up from the bull trend line. However, it did not yet reach the 60 minute moving average and it has not yet broken above yesterday’s trading range. Both of these increase the chances of a test down today. If the bulls can break strongly […]

Double top or bull breakout
Posted 6:55 a.m. The Emini broke above the top of the bull channel on the open and it formed a new all-time high. However, the rally lacked consecutive big bull trend bars. Also, yesterday was in a tight channel for 4 hours, and that is extreme behavior. Although the Emini is always in long, it […]

Bull trend channel
Posted 6:57 a.m. Most days over the past 2 weeks have begun with tight trading range trading within the first hour, and today followed that pattern for the first few bars. Because of the gap up to the top of a channel, and because yesterday’s strong rallies both fell below their breakout points, the odds […]

Buy climax testing resistance
Posted 6:49 a.m. The day began with several dojis and a limit order market, as it has for most of the days over the past couple of weeks. When that is the case, traders wait for a strong breakout up or down with follow-through before they will swing trade. At the moment, the Emini is […]
