E-MINI S&P: Bearish Candle, A Warning To Bulls

EQUITY TECHS

Shooting star candle warns of waning bullish sentiment in E-MINIs.

  • The result of yesterday's failure at the day high is a bearish candle pattern known as a shooting star reversal.
  • The pattern is a warning sign to bulls and suggests bullish momentum appears to be waning.
  • If correct, it highlights a bearish risk exposing weakness back below 3500.00 and at a minimum a correction of the rally since Oct 30.
  • Note, candle patterns are short-term signals. It is too early to tell whether this pattern will form part of a broader reversal.
  • Levels to watch:
  • SUP 1: 3505.75, former bear channel top drawn off the Sep 3 high.
  • SUP 2: 3414.92 - 3382.50, the 20- and 50-day EMAs
  • 3225.00, Oct 30 low and the key support
  • A break of yesterday's 3668.00 high would resume gains and open 3699.03, 1.382 projection of the Sep 24 - Oct 12 - Oct 30 price swing.
  • The candle pattern is negated above 3668.00.
