- Friday’s candlestick (Nov 7) was a bear bar closing in its lower half with a small tail below.
- In our previous report, we said traders would watch whether the bulls could produce more decent bull bars in the days ahead, or if the bears would extend their follow-through selling instead.
- The market traded down and closed the week near its low, increasing the odds of the market trading at least a little lower next week.
- The bulls hope the current decline will form a major higher low.
- They want a reversal from a parabolic wedge (Oct 23, Oct 29, and Nov 6).
- If the market trades lower, they want the recent sideways consolidation to be the final flag of the move.
- They also want a pullback to the 20-day EMA.
- To show they’re regaining control, the bulls must now produce strong consecutive bull bars breaking clearly above the bear microchannel and closing above the 20-day EMA.
- The bears’ measured-move target, based on the height of the prior trading range, projects toward the 4000–3950 area.
- The selloff formed a tight bear channel, showing strong bears and persistent selling pressure.
- The first pullback will likely be minor, followed by at least a small sideways-to-down leg retesting the Nov 6 low.
- Fundamentals
- • Production: SPPOMA up 5% in the first 5 days.
- • Refineries: Buying interest remains, though not paying premiums vs spot futures.
- • Exports: ITS down 15.38% in the first 5 days.
- Overall, the market broke out from an 11-week trading range in a persistent tight bear channel — evidence of strong selling momentum.
- The market remains Always-In-Short.
- The selloff, however, is slightly climactic and has a parabolic wedge shape. The market may have to form a minor pullback before resuming lower.
- The bulls need to do more to show they are at least temporarily back in control. Otherwise, traders will not be willing to buy aggressively.
- For now, odds still slightly favor the first pullback being minor.
- If there is a stronger bounce, sellers may be waiting around the 20-day EMA area.
- For tomorrow (Monday, Nov 10), traders will watch whether the bulls can produce more decent bull bars in the days ahead, or if the bears will extend their follow-through selling instead.
