NQ Sell Setup – Dead Cat Bounce After BOS (1H, 1:3 RR)

125
Trade Idea – NQ (Sell Setup)
* Timeframe: 1H
* Entry: 26950
* SL: 26350
* TP: 25250
* RR: 1:3

- We dropped from 26349 to 25536 after moving from the Jan2026 lows near 25000 to the Jan highs at 26349, which marked a 0.618 Fib retracement.
- From the sharp sell-off between 25536 and 26050, price has already completed another 0.618 retracement, which I consider a classic dead cat bounce.
- The break of structure (BOS) was confirmed once we closed below 26,100, so this move back to 26050 is corrective rather than impulsive.
- The decline from 26349 to 25536 formed Wave A to B. After the current 0.618 retracement up to 26050, I expect price to complete Wave C to D, targeting the 25250 area.
- The RR setup is excellent, with approximately 255 points of stop loss versus 848 points of potential profit, giving a 1:3 RR.
- There is also a strong probability of a deeper move back toward 25000, which aligns with the 0.618 Fib retracement from the Nov 2025 lows to the Jan 2026 highs.
