On Friday, broke beneath the Nov. 10 low, which is the neckline of the Nov. 5/Nov. 22 double prime. E-mini could type a month-to-month chart bear bar for November.
Whereas Friday closed effectively beneath that assist, there was a conspicuous tail beneath. The bears will want sturdy follow-through early this week earlier than merchants will conclude that that is the beginning of a transfer right down to the October low. The selloff was sturdy sufficient for merchants to count on a minimum of a small second leg sideways to down.
E-mini will in all probability dip beneath the Sept. 2 excessive earlier than the bulls can get a brand new excessive. That was the breakout level for the October rally, and with all the buying and selling vary buying and selling in August and September, a powerful selloff ought to proceed a minimum of to a bit beneath the breakout level. That might even be a couple of 50% pullback from the rally up from the Oct. 4 low.
The bears desire a measured transfer down, after which continued promoting right down to the October low. In the event that they have been to get that, there would in all probability be a bounce from that assist. If there was one other reversal down from a decrease excessive, there can be a head and shoulders prime. Sept. 2 can be the left shoulder and Nov. 22 can be the top.
A significant promote sign has a 40% likelihood of resulting in a significant pattern reversal (right here, right into a bear pattern). There would nonetheless be a 60% likelihood of the E-mini persevering with sideways or resuming up.
The bulls are hoping Friday was only a second leg bear entice in a powerful bull pattern. They’ll want a bull bar closing close to its excessive as we speak or tomorrow to persuade merchants that the E-mini will make a brand new excessive earlier than the tip of the yr.
What to anticipate as we speak
E-mini is up 38 factors within the in a single day Globex session and it seems it’s going to hole above Friday’s excessive. Whether or not or not as we speak gaps up, if it opens close to the excessive of a giant bear day, there’s an elevated likelihood of an early low of the day after which a giant bull day. Whereas it’s attainable that as we speak might be one other huge bear day, it’s much less seemingly now that it’s opening close to Friday’s excessive.
If as we speak closes beneath its midpoint, it will likely be an inexpensive follow-through day after Friday’s collapse. It is going to be a Low 1 promote sign bar on the each day chart. However, if it’s a huge bull day, the E-mini will in all probability rally in December, and the yr nonetheless would possibly shut at a brand new excessive.
With Friday being principally sideways, the E-mini may get caught in Friday’s vary and oscillate across the open of the month, after which watch for tomorrow when November ends to determine if November could have a bear bar on the month-to-month chart. Friday would then merely have been a check of the open of the month.
However, if as we speak is a sideways day, the open of the day may very well be a magnet on the finish of the day. If there’s a bull physique, the larger it’s, the extra seemingly tomorrow will commerce excessive. If as we speak is a giant bull day closing close to its excessive, the E-mini would possibly rally strongly by the tip of the yr.
What about Omicron? Largely irrelevant. The selloff began per week earlier than it made the information. The selloff was technical. It was merely a check of the open of the month, and it will have occurred with or with out the brand new COVID variant. Omicron was the excuse for the market to do what it was going to do.
So, if not Omicron, then one thing else would have been the excuse…inflation, China, Russia…you decide.
Finish of the month and finish of the yr
Tuesday is the ultimate buying and selling day in November. When October fashioned a giant bear bar, I mentioned that there ought to be a second consecutive bear bar inside 2 months. The E-mini is again to the open of the month, and November would possibly turn out to be that second bear bar.
If the bears get a bear bar, particularly one with a fairly big bear physique and shut close to its low, November might be a great promote sign bar on the month-to-month chart. Merchants will search for a reversal down from a failed OO purchase sign.
Keep in mind, September and October have been consecutive exterior bars, which created an OO Breakout Mode sample. The purchase triggered when November traded above the October excessive. If November kinds a great bear reversal bar, it will be an inexpensive promote sign bar for a failed OO purchase sign. That might enhance the prospect of December buying and selling down.
I mentioned {that a} bar usually reverses proper earlier than it closes and exams some vital value. On the month-to-month chart, Friday examined the open of the month.
It is very important perceive that the check may result in a pointy reversal. Due to this fact, merchants shouldn’t be stunned if November rallies sharply over the subsequent 2 days and closes again close to its excessive, regardless of the massive selloff and solely having 2 days remaining within the month.
I wish to make a degree in regards to the yearly chart, which I’ll publish in early January. The yr opened on its low and it’s now at its excessive. Most huge bull bars have conspicuous tails on prime. It normally comes from a pullback simply earlier than the bar closes. That’s the reason I’ve mentioned a number of instances in November that there was an elevated likelihood of a reversal in December. Bars usually change their look simply earlier than they shut, and what occurs in December is simply earlier than the 2021 bar closes on the yearly chart.
The computer systems know this tendency. The bull computer systems will attempt to overwhelm the bear computer systems and get the yr to shut on its excessive. Due to this fact, there’s an elevated likelihood of a giant transfer in both course in December. If the yr closes on its excessive, there might be an elevated likelihood of upper costs early subsequent yr. But when December is a bear bar closing close to its low on the month-to-month chart, the brand new yr will in all probability commerce down.
Is that this the beginning of a correction? I’ve mentioned many instances that the E-mini has been in a powerful bull pattern on the each day, weekly, and month-to-month charts for the reason that pandemic crash. There have been a number of instances when the bears obtained the chance of a correction as much as 50%, however by no means extra. If there’s follow-through promoting early this week, this might be one other a type of instances.
I’ve additionally mentioned that the chance of upper costs has been between 50 and 60% throughout this whole bull pattern. It has by no means been beneath 50%. That continues to be true.
The sturdy selloffs like in September push the chance for the bears as much as 50%. However each prior reversal has failed, and the bears by no means had higher than a 50% likelihood of a pattern reversal.
If the bulls get a powerful reversal up this week, the chance of a brand new excessive by the tip of the yr might be once more again to 60%.
The subsequent few days ought to give merchants an concept of what’s going to occur in December.
