While the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) was closed Monday in observance of Memorial Day the global after-hours electronic trading system (GLOBEX) opened as normal Sunday evening at 6pm eastern time.  And given the US debt ceiling headline news over the long weekend the S&P 500 futures ticker /ES gapped up about 20 points on the open to keep the bulls firmly in control.

On the current ES weekly chart I've only marked it up with Support/Resistance and Trend. Also known as basic structure. In this view traders can see that price often ping pongs between historical levels before proceeding in its next direction.

If you'd like to enroll in the same exact Introduction to Price Action Trading using Support/Resistance and Trend course that I took earlier in my trading career we're offering it at an incredibly low price this week revealed at this link.

Price action technical analysis is a popular and effective approach to navigating the financial markets, including stocks, options, futures, Forex, Crypto, and Commodity trading.

By definition, a bear market is when price drops 20% or more from its recent or all time highs.  So for the S&P 500 ticker /ES one could say that technically speaking the bear market is over because price is now approximately 15% off the all time high set back in October 2021.

But is the recent run up simply a "Bear Market Rally" or are the bulls firmly back in charge gunning for new all time highs?  See this before your next trade!

Trading is not easy, but can be life changing.

We seldom meet a trader who isn't passionate about generating supplemental income, or even better, someone who desires to quit their day job to become a full time trader.

But many find that can be easy to say but hard to do.

Seems like all the self proclaimed charting experts are suddenly appearing to claim that they "knew" that Bitcoin (ticker BTC) was going to top out and make the free fall that it did... Not so fast my friends!

For well over the past year traders have been asking us what we thought about Bitcoin and our honest answer has consistently been "it doesn't matter what we think about Bitcoin but what's important is what story the BTC chart has been telling us... You just have to know how to listen to it and pickup on the clues that it provides."
