Emini market analysis
Emini daily chart
-
Emini tested up to the December 6
th
high yesterday and after Wednesday's rally.
-
While the rally was good for the bears, it is a disappointing bar due to the tail above it. This increases the odds of the market going sideways to down over the next several weeks.
-
The odds favored sellers back at the December 6
th
high due to disappointed bulls selling out of longs and bears looking to establish shorts.
-
The bears, at a minimum, need to add to the selling pressure and make the market go sideways.
-
The bears hope this is the start of a strong reversal below the moving average.
-
Because the channel up has been tight, the odds favor sideways trading and not a strong reversal today or tomorrow.
-
Overall, the bull channel forms a wedge top and will likely be corrected soon. This increases the risk of a test to the November 19
th
low over the next several weeks. It is important to realize that the market can go sideways for a long time before the bears get the test down.
