Chart

Chart for snapshot 75302

Context

Context: Market had a strong bull spike and channel from bar 2–8, then transitioned into a tight trading range / sideways drift around the EMA from about bar 10–24. From bar 25 onward, price has been working down below a flattening/falling EMA, evolving into a bear channel that steepens into a sharp selloff around bars 42–46. The last few bars show a bounce from a short-term oversold area but still below the EMA.

Patterns

Clear Al Brooks patterns: - Bull spike & channel up: bars 2–8. - Tight trading range / sideways drift around the EMA: roughly bars 10–24 (potential final bull flag for the later bears). - Bear channel with increasing momentum from about bar 25, with a stronger bear spike around bars 42–46. - The move from 42–46 is a possible bear spike, and 47 looks like the first attempt to reverse up (potential H1 in a developing bear leg, but still under EMA and weak).

Probability

Probabilities: Bears have better odds near term because price is below a declining EMA and the recent selling (42–46) was strong. The current bounce (47) is more likely a pullback in a bear leg than the start of a major bull reversal.

Entries / Avoidance

Entries / avoid: - Best with-trend idea is to look for a sell setup on a weak second leg up (e.g., a small H2 or micro double top under the EMA after bar 47) for continuation down. - Avoid buying aggressively here; any long is a scalp against a fresh bear spike and under the EMA. - Also avoid trading in the middle of the prior tight range area (~6684–6688) if price drifts back there; that zone has been magnet-like and choppy.
