More Rough Ride Ahead?

Short
CME_MINI:NQ1!   NASDAQ 100 E-mini Futures
This retracement has look and feel of a B wave, choppy and hesitant. Got a H&S in the 15 minute chart on 11/11.

Expect another leg lower soon IMO. Should push down to test support at the old ATH IMO. RSI went oversold, bounced, fades.

Likely to get a big bounce (arrow) after the C leg, retest ATH in December. 19 Nov OpeX likely to be pretty choppy IMO.

Sold off -300 pips and has bounced back a bit more than 200 of that in the AM lift. Now in descending stair-step pattern.

Measured move would end around 15815, give or take a bit. Selling could come at anytime, so unpredictable.

Wouldn't trade dailies on this as it might take a week to come off, could be tomorrow, who knows?!
I see lower lows and lower highs in daily charts on SPX, DJI. NQ looks like a sawblade fgs.

Opening position in ten QQQ 24 Nov 392Pp spread short the 15 Nov 382, net debit $4.12.
DYODD, GLTA!

Starts to look like this idea might pan out after all. Clipped a few pips on the AM sell Monday.

They might buy this little dip; or the real selling could start soon. Will soon see, watching it.

Well this GDMD idea turned out to be spot on after all, just we never got a secondary selloff, was more like a flat and then bully double top.

So unpredictable! NOT going full bore short here, copy this post in case you missed it:

Follow-up, still do not feel that going full bore short is a good idea... another damned parabolic can come in here anytime, NQ has not fully double topped, need to see QQQ go over $400, ES might get push to another ATH.

IF you follow Peter Eliades, very useful insights, he projected top on 5 nov and now claims this will prove to be the ultimate ATH. So far, it holds, check out his app:

He called the bottom in 1974 and been rolling ever since. He called the top on 3 Sep a month before, and says we have now reached the Top of the Century.

We will see...

Flipped calls on the bounce. Frustrating trades to say the least, opens so damned bullish and press to ATH then Wham! I did okay but you get real tired of watching puts melt ffs... IMO some fierce selling coming soon, triple witching Friday might not be so bully?!
Comment:
Just watching back in cash. so damned fluctuant, sold $2, bounced $1, now will they bull it back to ATH?

Or we gonna see a flashcrash?! Pure guesswork, but starts to look pretty dicey up here...

Trade closed manually:
Rolled up and then closed out for a wee drawdown. The short legs kept my end up. Spent Friday flipping strikes on puts and calls.

The euphoric bullishness of NQ in face of weaker RTY and DJI is characteristic of a blowoff bubble about to burst IMO
Comment:
BTW, I cannot believe evry time I look at QQQ it says $405 OMG, how?! LOL
Comment:
Re-visiting this post, click the progress arrow button, amazingly in spite of all the bearishness, this damned index is still really high! There is a LOT OF ROOM to downside for a real crashover IMO; BUT should consider past week may be just a grindy sideways correction leading to a move higher!

Trading this index hurts, lol. Evrytime you think it's going long, pivot reverse kills ur longs, then you say, okay well, go short! And lose both ways fgs. GLTA!
