NQ Range (08-03-22) 

E-mini Nasdaq-100 FuturesCME

Description

NAZ back in the BOX and top of Rainbow test. Weak price action today and past 3 days. No Prop tonight and some Geo type rumbles out of China should provide the push. Sideways to lower by EOD tomorrow. At times over the past 3 days the NAZ has actually been frozen with zero movement, this is new or I have never seen it.

Comment

NAZ at top forecast with some divergence, could short here with tight stop.

Comment

Being sick I am watching more than trading, It seem that you just need to play the range at stalls. Use key levels as targets and at stall either direction you just reverse to next KL. Expect the range to get stretched just like yesterday run up to within a few points of prior day high.

Comment

Long above 12956 and Short below after drop through and retest from below.

Comment

13025 is KL, then TLX above, look for NAZ to retest 12956 prior next bigger move.

Comment

Upper TLX 13094 stall, Short with Close stop and Play day low??

Comment

Past few days have been the most painful price action, glad to be sick.

Comment

IDS 20 is good today, need smaller as to weak movement.

Comment

Keep shorting near TLX 094, close stop.

Comment

Scalp day, NAZ will drop to lower 1st 30M 12990 for a bounce back.

Comment

Good news bad news ISM, NAZ may drop? Now TLX 142 is Target and short zone.
Shorting at 162 1 contract. 40 point stop target 13060, wait for yellow short line on 27

Comment

Short Target

Comment

Lower stop as it drops, it will pop back up during Dead Zone.

Comment

On short you may want to scalp back and forth. Play max levels and go opposite, NAZ just being tossed around with ease. Current Short is 50 or so to the good, Look at closing and reverse, then reverse, reverse, reverse.

Comment

IDS 27 you can now see Yellow Line, You need to get to the point that you can predict it showing up or use 20/27

Comment

Stepping away, NAZ is between two TLX's, bounce around and sideways zone. I would think that today would be a great Curveball SellOff day? We shall see.

Comment

Target hit

Comment

Riggers are Just Painfully brutalizing the average investor/trader. Trust nothing and go the opposite.

Comment

Dead Zone Daily Float UP should be next.

Comment

13127 is KL, needs to stay above.

Comment

127 bounce, reverse, reverse, reverse.

Comment

NAZ is only 100 points or so above past 2 day highs. Not as bullish as it seems. FED Chatter starting to poo poo the run.

Comment

To make your life easier, white arrows are adds (no Yellow Short line), just stay with it. I would see a better short developing near/under 13222

Comment

13222 Short working back to each white arrow.

Comment

Most traders are looking Short, scalping will work out should you play Pull Backs on Longs. I mentioned on the IDS Update post that the hardest challenge is watching trades play out that you missed but had signal. Need to be quick. The missed trades play out like losses (in your mind) because you know you should of had. NAZ back to 13222 after 60 point round trip.

Comment

China issue developing, this pop may be just another Drop Offset. At Fib Level ,382 now. The lift is a strange one today with all negative news, this is nothing new and would not chase here. NAZ only 120 points higher than 2 previous highs (or 3 trading days).

Comment

Next Short may be at 13265 or under, just a note.

Comment

Time of day, NAZ will go one way or other for balance. Easier to drop a 100 or so than go higher. 50% fib in days would raise some eyebrows.

Comment

Price lifting on Flat/negative volume is not good. Can not keep up or will drop.

Comment

This drop may not come back, Jack.

Comment

Under 13277 is Head Fake, Jake.

Comment

No volume = prop when price rises. Watch Ticks here and loading up Short is the play. Doubts this works for them, although the BTD wet nose may fall for it.

Comment

The under 13277 are scalp trades, close when they retrace and repeat. Holding is another option, this will miss out on points though.

Comment

NAZ keeps hitting 275 it may eventually pop through, FYI.

Comment

you can short just use a stop or go long on other side with stop. one of the 2 will work.

Comment

NAZ 370 points at primarily 1 way, look for NAZ to add another 100-200. Direction is the key.

Comment

NAZ is testing 277 from above, needs to hold.

Comment

13222 is in sight.

Comment

no trade just guessing

Comment

very orderly PA today, not normal.

Trade closed manually

no net positive volume here, odd. When all signals lead to a rise, we are stretched.
back under 277, and it tells you nothing? tempted to go long into O/N prop express zone.

Comment

Does this look Vertical? Retest should b next.

Comment

70 point drop at close. NAZ is trading like Currency this summer. You miss a move in 10-30 minutes 1-2 a day and you missed the majority of the days move. Recent pop is 150 above prior 3 day high and sitting on Fib Level. Easy target for way up, lets see if the VERTICAL move can continue. USE IDS, it is easier when you get 2 way movement.

Can some Chinese jet fly over Taiwan, so this crap sells off finally and goes to its place, which is 9k? No casualties, just a flyover...
jakslo23
@jakslo23, anyway, staying short, something gonna happen overnight. Something is boiling. That is why they were pumping like crazy past weeks, because they know it's coming, and without a pump, the market would drop without a bottom like oil in covid.
digicool
@jakslo23, its boiling. Chinese drills until Sunday. They will sell on Friday. Look at TSLA options today. Explains the whole market move today.
digicool
With the down momo they had this morning, they could have pushed it further but the weekly call buyers flocked in. I think the gamma squeeze play is active. NDX Iv is elevated for this week but not for SPX. Could be sideways action at best and higher if BTDers show up tomorrow.
snakeaterr
@digicool, yeah, no real direction until next week
digicool
@snakeaterr, its all about the timeframe.
tt10001
Lol again
digicool
Savage day! Dealers did what they have to do. Blame the call buyers. We are no where near the end of the bubble. The greed is back. TSLA 2:1 calls to puts. 100 delta 14:1 (this most likely Friday expiry). Friday will be the cleanup day.
DaddySawbucks
taking no pos o/n. could get another sell from here, alternating days

Melt up in a melt up, loving the games here.
