Emini Wedge Top at Resistance

By

Trading Update: Thursday November 30, 2023

S&P Emini pre-open market analysis

Emini daily chart

  • The Emini has formed a wedge top over the past 12 trading days at the September 1st magnet. This will increase the odds of two legs going sideways to down and at the test of the 20-period moving average.
  • Although the channel up is tight, some bulls will exit below yesterday’s bear reversal bar and wait for another buy signal bar before entering again.
  • The longer the market goes sideways at this price level, the less traders will want to buy far away from the moving average.
  • The bears are hopeful that the test of the moving average will lead to a strong downside breakout causing the bulls not to be eager to buy the pullback.
  • The bulls want to prevent the bears from forming a strong entry bar. Even if today is a weak bear entry bar, it will probably lead to a bad High 1 buy signal bar with sellers above.

Emini 5-minute chart and what to expect today

  • Emini is up 8 points in the overnight Globex session.
  • The Emini rallied during the early morning Globex hours and reversed down after testing yesterday’s 1:15 PM EST lower high.
  • The bears want the market to form a double-top bear flag and test down to yesterday’s low. Next, the bears want a measured move down of the range mentioned above. The market will likely continue to go sideways and disappoint swing traders.
  • Traders should assume that today will have a lot of trading range price action on the open. This means most traders should consider waiting for 6 – 12 bars before placing a trade unless they are comfortable with limit order trading and making quick decisions.
  • Most traders should look to catch the opening swing trade. There is at least an 80% chance of an opening swing trade that often begins before the end of the second hour after forming a double top/bottom or a wedge top/bottom.
  • Traders should pay attention to the open of the day, as well as yesterday’s low. Traders will try and get follow-through selling and a close below yesterday’s low.

Emini intraday market update

  • The Emini has been in a broad bear channel for the past 50 bars.
  • The bulls were able to develop strong buying pressure all of the way down, which increased the odds of the bulls getting a reversal up today.
  • As of bar 58, the bulls have formed a strong upside breakout, closing far above the moving average.
  • The first target for the bulls is the midpoint of the day, which is 4,556. The next target is the open of the day. However, the bulls will need to continue to create signs of strength if the market is going to reach it. At the moment, sideways is more likely than a strong reversal to the open of the day.

Yesterday’s Emini setups

SP500 Emini 5 Min Chart Bear Trend From The Open and Then Trading Range

Al created the SP500 Emini charts.

Here are reasonable stop entry setups from yesterday. I show each buy entry bar with a green arrow and each sell entry bar with a red arrow. Buyers of both the Brooks Trading Course and Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns have access to a near 4-year library of more detailed explanations of swing trade setups (see Online Course/BTC Daily Setups). Encyclopedia members get current daily charts added to Encyclopedia.

My goal with these charts is to present an Always In perspective. If a trader was trying to be Always In or nearly Always In a position all day, and he was not currently in the market, these entries would be logical times for him to enter. These therefore are swing entries.

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.

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 Emini.

EURUSD Forex market trading strategies

EURUSD Forex daily chart

  • The EURUSD formed a strong downside breakout today and is testing near the moving average.
  • Today’s breakout is strong enough that the odds favor at 2nd leg down and the market testing the Moving average.
  • The bulls will see today’s selloff as a sell vacuum test of support. They do not mind if today is a big bear bar, if the follow-through is disappointing for the bears.
  • Overall, today is enough to disappoint the bulls and increase the odds of sideways trading and a test of the moving average.
