Bearish on NQ. PDAs as identified. Trying not to spend too much time predicting the narrative at the beginning of the week, however price is likely to interact with these zones.
Narrative: Price is currently in an uptrend, price seems to have taken out sell side liquidity (EL). After price takes out sell side liquidity(SSL) price retraces and takes out internal liquidity & is now expanding to the upside to take out buy side liquidity.
I think MNQ will have a retracement at the beginning of the week to the zone I marked up between monday and tuesday and after that it could be mainly bullish for the rest of the week until hits the upper zone around 18100
Nasdaq longs will play and hit this level by the end of the week at most
As NQ1! price moves towards its ATH at 18709, and assuming that new ATHs are found shortly, I'm looking at this being wave 5 of (3) of ((5)). Wave (1) of ((5)) was an expanding leading diagonal. Major corrections in the primary wave structure coincide with significant world events (i.e. Great Financial Crisis, COVID-19, etc.). S&P, DJI, and Russell 2000 all at...
4:00pm - 4:46pm - many good trades today - good aggressive stuff! (tight SL and stuff) 4th trade (although I cut my risk in half) was unprofessional ---> only 3 trades per day!!!! PnL: +3.5 RR (shouldve been +3 RR tho)
For the CPI news, I think the price will go up and the buy side will take liquidity. If you look at the dollar index, you will come to the conclusion that the price in the dollar index has liquidity on the selling side and can target it.

Good Evening and I hope you are well. overall market comment US PPI surprised upwards and markets printed a crash bar, just so the bulls can do the reversal and squeeze all the shorts. Measured move targets from that spike lead to many logical resistance levels and after today there can be little doubt we won’t get there before US CPI is released. Odds that...

NQ looks very similar to ES. Ascending channel break + double top at supply. If NQ breaks below 18240, I like shorts, but longs above. Long tsrget is the previous double top. Short target would be the trendline below or potentially 18,000.
on NQ price moved a whopping 105 points today. Tomorrow we have PPI at 8:30am fed chair at 10am the highs WILL be taken you can bet every you have on it.
4.10pm - 5.40pm (1 1/2h session) Ill maybe trade more around the open; Im just experimenting with the times rn but so far it went well DONT MOVE THE SL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PnL: +1 RR
I personal feel as if price shall move higher targeting weekly highs the 1H candle has now closed above an old daily swing high and respecting 1H OB Consequence encroachment since we have no news today I am watching very closely to see how candles react many of these zones especially daily highs or lows
today sometime the equal highs at18350.75 WILL be taken out Im confident in it
NQ has been relatively rangebound for the past 4 days, with Friday sweeping buystops before closing as a shooting star inside of all the other candles. It’s challenging to agree with one side of the market place but as we have witnessed a rejection from the 50% PD array @ Fridays 10am US session capitulation, a lot of pain from bullish participants who are long...
