Traps…
If ES holds above 4260 during the next several sessions and continues moving higher, this would be a massive Bear Trap. pic.twitter.com/z4sle7EY3Z

Today’s Chart of the Day was shared by Yuriy Matso (@yuriymatso). it’s a daily candlestick chart of S&P 500 futures over the past eights months. Yuriy points out that the S&P 500 has formed a bear trap over the past three days. A bear trap, (or failed breakdown as it’s also called) is when price breaks a major support level, only to quickly reclaim it. Bear traps often lead to sharp moves higher, so this is a pretty bullish setup for next week. As long as the S&P 500 is back above 4260, the bears are trapped, and the bulls are back in charge.

The S&P 500 closed more than 6% off the weekly lows and closed the week higher.
You have to go back to the week of the US election in November 2020 for the last time we saw that.
That kicked off a pretty serious rally. Let's end a rough week on that note!

Seeing a lot of calls for 20%+ price jumps in crude. Charts simply don't support that. Markets aren't physics. Don't fall into the "if x-happens then y-happens", especially in energy markets. #CrudeOil #oilandgas $USO #Ukraine #UkraineRussia #pipeline pic.twitter.com/wK7NZKc6zb
