NQ1! trade ideas

NQ! 100R TF morning markupHey yall! No news today it’s a little quite so of course I marked up both ways for a buy and sell. You can choose to put in both and see which one takes off! There is a ‘W’ forming so it will be interesting if she keeps rallying up for the buy or drop for the sell at the point of resistance and fall heavy. As always SL is wide at 120 points and feel free to change your levels as you see fit. Please use proper risk management and follow your plan!! GOOD LUCK :)

2025-03-20 - priceactiontds - daily update - nasdaqGood Evening and I hope you are well. nasdaq e-mini futures comment: Market is contracting and I highly doubt tomorrow will bring the breakout. Next week we will either see the beginning of a big second leg down for the bears or a higher pullback to maybe 21k. The past days market has gone nowhere and mean reversion was the money printer 19900 is the fair price for now and anything above 20165 or below 19600 would surprise me. Market is in total balance but since bulls could not get a decent pullback, bears are favored to continue the bear trend. current market cycle: strong bear trend but currently in W2 key levels: 19600 - 20200 bull case: Bulls have strong legs from higher lows up to print lower highs. They are quick to exit and lock in profits, since bears have demonstrated strength for 5 weeks straight. This week the pullback should have gone much higher and it was a really bad week for bulls. Likely more pain to come. Whats the likelihood of a strong bull trend day tomorrow? Very, very low. We are in a bear flag on the daily chart and bulls have tried for 3 days now to make higher highs. I doubt it will work on Opex. Many times the market will oscillate around the price where market makers want it to close into Opex. This does seem to be such a week. Invalidation is below 19604. bear case: Bears are doing what they needed to, in order to make this bear trend really look like one and a strong one at that. They are currently fine with 19900 and going sideways, knowing that the odds of a trend resumption down are greater for them than a surprise bull breakout. short term: Neutral around 19900. Bearish below 19600 and bullish above 20200 but the signals would have to be insanely strong for me to take them. Mean reversion was key this week and I won’t do dumb things on Opex. medium-long term - Update from 2024-03-16: My most bearish target for 2025 was 17500ish, given in my year-end special. We don’t know if we have printed the W1 of the new bear trend or repeat the pattern from 2024, where we sold of very strong to reverse even more strongly and make new all time highs. Market needs a bounce and around 20000/20500 we will see the real battle for the next weeks. trade of the day: Bars 66 to 86 were strong enough and had 3 legs up. Market then was close enough to previous resistance and bears printed stronger bear bars 91, 5+6, 8 and 15 -17. 18 was the absolute latest you had to get short, since market demonstrated more than enough at that point, that it does not want to go up anymore. Short with a stop above y high was banger. Could you have taken the long from 19765 up to 20100? Certainly not on Bar 24 or 25 but bar 35 was a huge bull surprise on the open and we printed a double bottom at y low. Longs since bar 36 were decent with 200 points upside potential while stop had to be 150 points.

NQ: 158th trading session - recapSomething pretty rare happened today: No scalps, that is crazy. I blame this on (obviously) the conditions: I trade less in moving conditions + I was just really unlucky for price to range that way, disgusting stuff man. Won't trade tomorrow (thanks again for the time change in CET which is only for March, dumb system mannnnn) But I mean it's a good sign: I'm annoyed that I can't trade tomorrow, that doesn't only show commitment, but also obsession.

Nasdaq: Wave A Done – Now Lining Up for a Strong BounceThe Nasdaq is starting to look really interesting here. In my view, we've completed Wave ((a)) to the downside—a clean (abc) correction. Why do I think it's done? Because we've just tapped into a Fair Value Gap (FVG) and saw a strong reaction, just above last year’s VWAP, which I always consider a key reference point on the higher time frame. Ideally, I would have liked to see that 19,090 level get tagged—unfortunately, we didn’t quite reach it. But honestly, this reaction is solid enough to still keep the bullish scenario intact. Adding to that, the RSI is now in oversold territory, and the last two times we’ve seen that, it was followed by strong upward moves. Based on all of this, I’m expecting a solid bounce over the coming weeks, likely lasting into Q1 or even Q2 2025 . Where could this move take us? I see two key zones: the first between 22,000 and 22,425 and the second between 23,320 and 23,675. Could it land somewhere in between? Sure. But one of those zones is where I expect this corrective structure to wrap up. That would likely complete the larger ((abc)) correction, after which we’ll finally begin forming the macro Wave A—which will open the next big leg of structure. So the bigger picture is in play here. In the meantime, I’ll be hunting for entries on the lower time frames, because I do think we’re setting up for a pretty solid push on this index in the coming weeks.

2025-03-18 - priceactiontds - daily update - nasdaqGood Evening and I hope you are well. comment: Neutral. Today was really bad for the bulls. The rejection from 20000 should not have go so deep. I now think we will likely chop between 19000 - 20000 until Opex. Bulls had the momentum on their side and the breakout above 20100 was strong enough to go higher but here we are. Lows 19346 have to hold or we flush to 19k. Around 19700 I’d rather do jack shit. 50% of this range is Monday’s low at 19755m which was also late resistance today. current market cycle: strong bear trend but pullback expected key levels: 19000 - 21000 bull case: Bulls did good and then fumbled it hard. They now need to keep this a higher low above 19346 or we could flush down to 19000. Technically this is a trading range 19300 - 20200 and we could make lower lows and higher highs in this range, give or take. My assumption was stronger buying into opex but for that we needed to stay above 19700ish. Now what could convince me that this could become a strong short squeeze into Friday? Immediate reversal during Globex and a grind up to 20000 before EU opens. Very very unlikely. One last tiny argument bulls could have is the retest one but for that today’s low has to hold and we just have to grind up. Invalidation is below 19604. bear case: Bears outdoing themselves currently. Strong surprise today and now I think any upside is likely limited to around 21200. If bears are really strong, we make lower lows tomorrow and then chop into Opex on Friday. I see this as low probability and I would prefer sideways inside the current range. short term: Neutral around 19700. Bearish around 20000 if bears come around again and bullish if we reverse strongly from either 19600 or 19400. medium-long term - Update from 2024-03-16: My most bearish target for 2025 was 17500ish, given in my year-end special. We don’t know if we have printed the W1 of the new bear trend or repeat the pattern from 2024, where we sold of very strong to reverse even more strongly and make new all time highs. Market needs a bounce and around 20000/20500 we will see the real battle for the next weeks. trade of the day: Long during EU session was decent but more so for dax. This short on US open obviously but I don’t think it was easy, given the bullishness before.
