NQ Mid Day Update 

E-mini Nasdaq-100 FuturesCME

Description

Market appears to be melting up, but I'm holding off on calls until I see MFI go oversold. It probably gets there tomorrow.

No idea which way the market gaps tomorrow. Could just be a flat open which is typical after a Tues pump

Comment

Also, BTC appears to have lost steam and no formed what appears to be a H&S pattern, though cryptos don;t seem to like making nice chart patterns.... so who knows.

Comment

My best guess is a flat day tomorrow for a bear trap, fill the gap above Thu then whipsaw Friday.

If they fill the gap tonight, I think the market drops because nobody will chase it.

Comment

The algos are 100% back in control though, they managed to pump NQ 2% on no news.

Comment

Is BTC now a leading indicator?

Anyways, I told you so. No long positions until MFI gets oversold.

Comment

Wow, damn that's bullish, the dip disappeared in minutes, lol.

RTY already filled the gap and NQ is only 100 pts away, so close i could even fill the gap overnight and turn around.

So much for waiting for MFI to go oversold, lol.

Comment

Apparently the afternoon whipsaw was caused by Powell talking about rate hikes. Every time he opens his mouth we get a whipsaw, lol.

Very hawkish comments though, he basically said f the market.

Comment

I'm still thinking inverted H&S because the gap above hasn't filled. Tread carefully....

@Trebor74, market is not supposed to go straight down but at this point it's breaking every rule so anything is possible. 5% down day, lol.

We may start seeing circuit breaker days like the COVID drop, that's when you know we hit bottom

@Trebor74, I now see why you said that. I agree it will eventually get there, just not sure how. Everything else is at pre-COVID price, NQ will eventually get there.

calls? once upper gap closes then lower gap needs to fill?
hungry_hippo
@rickyrt, I meant if it doesn't close before tomorrow.

that lower gap may not fill for a while, NQ weekly is oversold.
