NQ Range (12-15-25)

1 118
After the drop back into the Churn Zone, we have a NAZ Triangle of Range. Upper circle is the break under 10/22 TL, Mid circle is near mid CZ and Diablo pop on 12/1 and lower circle is CZ bottom and U Turn Target. Open Range (Reg Session) is shaded zone (yellow arrow), white arrow is break out to retest Diablo and lower yellow will be to KL 24,910. Watch the counter moves (Spikes) prior to actual larger moves, Overnight Pump/Dump at Open Drive and of course the Tweets during the Dead Zone. IDS27 Friday Open to current Chart:
snapshot
Note
NDX Chart, NAZ is under the Orange TL, at top of upper TZ. A retest of -10% level is likely (but will be defended by BTD/FOMO's). Key, the two previous 150% pops came after -30% plus drops. This year we had a -25 and just not sure the 58% pop will go another 100% or from here, may need to drop again or below recent low of 16,700. NAZ under orange TL is a start and what to watch.
snapshot
Note
Will update after the Open, may let this day playout some prior to calls. Previous weak/strange lifts played into two Long Traps that sold off with some strength/volume. Current churn zone is now tow months old. See stronger potential for a lower breakout of, rather than higher BO. Play range or pick a side up/down as the moves are similar in points.
Note
Pump/Dump

Note
410 is ML CZ
Note
Steady Negative Ticks, watch the drop
Note
Back in Range
snapshot
Note
Overnight with another drop offset attempt, may pop in the Dead Zone. If not, the drop will resume.
Note
160 is pop or drop zone.
Note
Looking weak, expect a Tweet or lower we go in the DZ.
Note
25,060 Spike is key and may pop in Dead Zone.
snapshot
Note
Needs to get above 160
snapshot
Note
NDX is on THE Edge
snapshot
Note
Watch lower range here for breakout or sideways to nowhere then move.
snapshot
Note
DZ pop may go to 300
snapshot
Note
Back later 200-215, then 300, no pass of these will drop back to low.
snapshot
Note
Take away the O/N Drop Offset and the NAZ is Much Lower. Just watch the typical Tricks that have been working for years.
snapshot
Note
Try and keep track of Spike Tops/Bottoms and look for counter move after.
snapshot
Note
The play after the Open Drive and in mid period of the Dead Zone is to keep trying to get to 300, reaction below is a drop and above may rotate around and drop later. So far this does not feel like a typical U Turn day.
snapshot
Note
Lift to drop and then expressway lower. The only way this gets out of the reg session without the expressway lower is to go sideways to the O/N and another Drop Offset is played by the Riggers. Or, a major Tweet from Captain Tweety.
snapshot
Note
Low Low Volume day, pickup on the selling side will Tank this. Just watch next arrow below, that is the test to watch. NAZ staying above low is O/N lift most likely.
snapshot
Note
Move of the day is next, 200 rejection is into Air Pocket below or Hook Short and above 200 should test 300 and take it sideways to the Close and O/N.
snapshot
Note
Took awhile but finally.
snapshot
Note
What is a MEME Coin and why does Bloomberg keep airing the article about Wash Street how it is making money off the a Pump/Dump? I think I see a connection to the O/N Pump/Dump play and that of the MEME Coin (Wash Street). I thought that government worked for us and not against us. Think we see the same Pump/Dump developing with AI?
Note
Still going sideways in channel. The play may be the: Sideways to O/N with Lift in the O/N, looking that way since the end of O/R. Just be aware of the play and the fact that it has been working for about 3 years.
snapshot
Note
FYI, this does not show up on Post but the White Arrow is the lower TL of the channel that the NAZ has been running in. Key an eye on should NAZ not get back in the Channel.

10YN Yield is creeping up and BCoin is lower 5%
Note
Hook developing
snapshot
Note
Done for the day and looking too goofy, may pop in O/N. That is how they do it when the Reg will not drop and just go sideways after a Open Drive sell off that is after a O/N Pump/Dump.
snapshot
Trade closed manually
Note
Interesting chart here for O/N and tomorrow. 170 appears to be resistance, the mid level is today low and the lower half will hit 24,910. 25,410 to lower target is potential range under the Diablo and may be long trap head fake from O/N Riggers (during the Overnight).
snapshot
Note
NQ1 is up 120 points VS the current NQ Contract (NQZ). You will have to adjust all KL's to reflect the difference. Below is the NQZ contract that is at 24,908 and down 184 points in the O/N.
snapshot

The NQ1 is blow and is at 25,152
snapshot
Note
In other words, O/N is selling off and you not see it looking at NQ1.
Note
Yellow Arrow is current location of NQZ or lower target is HIT, may see U Turn on Hold.
snapshot
Note
12/16 Update, No Post today due to the NQ Contract changing over on 12/19. Anyway below is the current with KL 24,910 Hit and back above.
snapshot
Note
The game today will most likely be to the Long Side. Yesterday the held the NAZ up (all day, after Open Drive), took it into the O/N (dropped it and back up, no damage recorded), now NFP in to Reg Session and most likely toe BTD/FOMO's will help to create another Long Trap on themselves. No Pop, Go Short.
Note
NQH2026, Try this today, Good Luck.
snapshot
Note
NQH2026, Lower support today is 25,100 and upper target is 25,560, we may churn in the range until next move.
Note
snapshot
Note
Waiting on the Dead Zone Rig Team to take it up.
snapshot
Note
Long above 230 is the plan and under may go to low.
Note
Unless the NAZ drops big, this looks like typical (hold up) U Turn Start. NAZ is clearly being held up and sideways is the trade. Drop or get off, Dead Zone is Long and O/N is Long, typically.
snapshot
Note
NQ is at 25,280 and under high of 25,400. NDX is better reference of where we are. NDX is on the Danger Zone Edge of falling back into the area that could retest -10% level below. The BTD/FOMO group will try and defend that off and is why we are stalling out. Just need to see the break out: 1 Long back up some and 2 over the edge toward -10%.
snapshot
Note
Back to 230 and big here. Pop/Drop on the way.
snapshot
Note
Trying for the Pop through.
snapshot
Note
Watch this Spike.
snapshot
Note
Nobody wants the NAZ to tank, except the Traders.
Note
Above 302 should keep climbing
Note
Hook Long should be next or major drop will follow, if not.
Note
Above this range is Santa BTD/FOMO rally and below is the Grinch.
Note
We need a Tweet to put into passing gear.
Note
Let's go Santa and Easter Bunny, you can do it, or the O/N Elf Team will lift it.
snapshot
Note
back to 230 and under 302 ML O/R, Churn Churn Churn
snapshot
Note
At this point we would think the sideways play is for the O/N to do its job, no go (sideways to O/N) and we may see the O/N sell big.
Note
This should be the next hit to Signal move, under drop and needs to get above and stay above into the close for O/N Rig Move.
snapshot
Note
ALL Long Tricks should show up here, Spike, Failed Auction lift, Tweets, huge boost in final 10 minutes of the day, etc.
These do not work or show up, expressway lower.
Note
NDX Update
snapshot
Note
NDX chart above looks like an M. Anyway, so much has been stuffed into so few (Wash ST Tariffs, AI and 8 or so Tech stocks). One tiny crack anywhere and the flood gates may open (except in the Overnight). Just wait for next Reg Session Open Drive for that to be tested, if so. Current level is a No Trade Zone (NTZ), Going with a SHORT at 25,342 anyway with 200 points Stop. May be early, not sure I care.
snapshot
Note
Has to hook or I am Toast, stop at 25,425
snapshot
Note
408 is TZ, same late day tricks are still working. May get stopped at 425, reloading if so after stall out. O/N may boost and will need to with Reg Session selling likely tomorrow.
snapshot
Note
OUT
Note
Just watch Short Side, many of you know I am usually early by half of day or so.
Note
Drop should retest 345 for next move.
Note
Will update it all tomorrow. Today does not feel like a strong U Turn Day and more like adding to the drop or Long Trap that started last week.
snapshot
Note
Garbage and typical Trap Games. Early is the problem on those.
