Should the O/N (persistent lifting) end and the NAZ fall outside the lower Channel Bracket, the lower arrow may be the target for a retest. If you are trading and can go flat or are flat, go long after 1st 30M Open Drive (or when Open Drop stabilizes). Most Dead Zone's, final 10M of the day and O/N Session mostly lift back up after the Open Drop. Should this change and we see some push/pull and selling, the lower arrow is your target on a Short. Just can't see the snail type intraday price action providing any real power (either direction). So if we get some selling, it may pick up speed which then may create a bounce off lower target. Lets see how this may play out, stay Long otherwise as nothing has appeared to really change with NAZ rebalance and such.
Comment:
Long after Open po/drop is playing out in Dead Zone. Watch 15720 for 1st U Turn back down or if Not 15780 may be next target.
Comment:
15720 No Pas, Drop the Hammer now or wait until close. Use a Stop as the Lift is coming, Stop above 15780
Trade closed manually:
Good Luck, Earnings tonight and Fed Day tomorrow, may get shaky.
Comment:
NAZ needs to get below 15685 and stay below, no Short unless. May see Knee Jerk Pop/Drop. Run up with BTD/FOMO's and Drop later after stall out.
Comment:
So the Rigged NAZ got to 15739 or just above 720 and is back near the start of day lift. Should the O/N Rigger's not be able to lift the NAZ back up, look Short.
Comment:
15720 Short Trade Runs 100 points. Next move will move another 100 after sideways movement, attached is Private Post set up. Good Luck today and just keep in mind that we have some major air pockets below that have been created by the BTD/FOMO's.
Comment:
Next 100 is up or down, but will be 100. The best indicator today and moving forward will be with intraday Push/Pull type PA. We have not seen this in weeks and may show up.
Comment:
1st Diablo rotation, Push/Pull may in on the way for Open and 1 way drop. I will believe it when I see it so Go Long on any hold. after any decent drop, these are mostly Scalp Trades and not keepers, only thing to do in slow moving rangy PA.
Comment:
Played out pretty much like mentioned 12 hours ago. Decent Drop, Bounce up out of Diablo and now O/N Rig Prop. NOTHING has changed, stay LONG.
Comment:
100% Rigged and this is all they have. Off Session games and sneaky BS. U-Turn back to Top Circle in O/N. 15795 may be high, if you dare Short the NAZ during the O/N Rig Show.
Comment:
Short at 15795 to 15740
Comment:
50 point stop and may try 15840
Comment:
Divergence is developing and should drop.
Comment:
Watch Red TL and under is stronger Short. May place stop at 15815 just in case the prop pops some.
Comment:
Looking for Drop test, some up down and Push/Pull to show up. Today may be a surprise mega drop as we get a Pump Dump set up by the Rig Team. If not we go to the YTD high and reverse the Trade.
Comment:
Yesterday expanded the average move, look at 100 point swings.
Comment:
This is the "air pocket" that should be retested. Nobody was there on counter trade to fight this and is a typical Prop Move. May work and many times does for a period of time but always gets retested.
Comment:
Not good if Support does not come up, if does most likely a stop out and will have to reload or reverse (white arrow).
Comment:
4HR upper targets and turn zone
Comment:
Added to short at 823, stop now 865
Comment:
No fear of riggers and game players, Go or Stop on the Edge.
Comment:
Pick a Circle
Comment:
Hoping that 15795 is Good Entry and lift above is typical stop clean out. Usually the case. In others words, under 95 is god and above is just a bad or early call. I get excited when I sense Rig Moves.
Comment:
So Slow I can't tell what is going on but will stay Short, Rigged.
Comment:
Added more at 830, stop at 865
Comment:
Stopped will reload
Comment:
NAZ back at Good Entry 15795 Short, lift above was a head fake for now and like I said watch the 100 point swings. O/N PA is usually a set for a Pump and Dump, watch for Push/Pull today to take this lower (if so).
Comment:
Upper 4HR Turn Zone did work out, now look Short under 15840
Comment:
Neg Ticks all morning and NAZ is up and holding. This is kind of strange, bottom may fall out later. O/N lift is only Gain.
Comment:
Range to watch is 840-740, should NAZ keep getting rejected at 840
Comment:
Air Pocket is cleaned out, 920 may be next, only in O/N though.
Comment:
Push Pull is the Key to Shorting NAZ
Comment:
O/N Pump and Dump
Comment:
They fall for it, every time.
Comment:
Playbook today Friday 7/28: We are close to month end so the profit taking could show up, watch the push/pull price action, do not trust Overnight (O/N) lift or Rig Job, Look for O/N range to be retested in Open session. Range to watch is 15735 - 15550, should NAZ fall below 15550 and stay under it may be a decent drop. Good Luck, going Private as it may be a decent 2 way trading day.
Comment:
Notice the 400 point range of yesterday and the O/N Rig Team has recovered half of it. Typical drop offset for next drop or Long Trade back to 15900 (should the BTD/FOMO's bite). Should/if the O/N did not provide these retracements the NAZ would be at 10,000 or so. This has been going on all of 2022 and 2023. If you can, try and buy every close after a bad down day on the NAZ (use Micro NQ, just in case), the percentage of good vs bad trades is good. RIGGED, this pattern will end at some point, so use a stop.
