Markets are bearish going into Wednesday’s trading session, and since we finished today inside a range, I’ll be looking to either (a) short the bounces or (b) short the breakouts. Either way, I have some great trades to watch on Wednesday…

E-Mini Keys to Success:

• Bears took price two legs lower into a sideways trading-range, telling us to look for sell setups at resistance levels above the range, or wait for a 123-breakout.
• Bulls want to reverse the trend with a 123-Reversal going higher.
• Bears want to sell the pops above the range

Best Trades for Tomorrow: 

• [UP] – buyer failure to sell (or) 123-Reversal to buy
• [DOWN] – 2-try trap to sell (or) nested failure to buy
• [SIDEWAYS] – wait for the breakout, focus on selling above the range
