STRONG OCTOBER START?My bias to why you should expect a strong October Start or at least start of the week relies heavily on the flush to close the day. Looking at Wednesday's Market Profile it wasn't too promising through the first half of the day as a p shaped market profile formed, indicative of shorts liquidating not particularly new buyers. (See Dalton) That doesn't mean there are no buyers it just means what it says, shorts are exiting the trade. They do this to take profit or as in the case of NQ after a so

Navigating Markets During Record-Low U.S. Consumer Sentiment US consumer sentiment has registered its lowest point in history.
Looking closer, its last three readings were below the 50 level: 49.8 in April, 44.8 in May, and 49.5 in June.
Since the 1950s, consumer sentiment has stayed generally above the 80 level around 45% of the time, and above the 100 level another 45% of the time.
What about the remaining 10% of the time?
Whenever it drops below the 80 level, we historically see various economic crises.
Today, it stays well below the 70 level

MNQ: Opening Print Pivot, Decision Shelf AboveAfter a strong morning expansion, MNQ shifted into a tighter auction and began stabilizing around the Opening Print. That made the opening print the most important local pivot on my chart.
Above price, I marked the body of an indecision candle as the Decision Shelf. I’m treating that level differently from a wick high because the candle body better represents the area where price was actually accepted during that pause.
My read here was simple:
Opening Print = pivot
Indecision Body = decision sh
CCG Pressure Wave + CCG Session Compass: Divergence ≠ ReversalDivergence Doesn’t Always Mean Reversal — Reading Repair vs Rotation
This is how the behavior tends to resolve.
Pressure moved into repair while price held structure.
Instead of reversing, the market rotated.
The key wasn’t predicting direction —
it was recognizing that nothing had broken.
No structure break → no reversal permission.
Participation Divergence Follow-upPrice pushed below the Prior Weekly Low and triggered liquidity under the level. Shortly after, participation expanded and buyers stepped in.
From the time of the post into market open, MNQ moved roughly 170 points to the upside , attempting to reclaim Value Area Low.
Divergence warned the move was weakening - participation confirmed when the shift actually occurred.
participation DivergenceParticipation Divergence
Price pushed to a new low near the Prior Weekly Low , but internal participation told a different story.
Pressure Wave printed a higher low while price made a lower low.
This kind of disagreement between price and participation can signal that the move is losing internal sponsorship.
Divergence doesn’t guarantee reversal — but it often warns that the current push may be running out of fuel.
Nasdaq - The Market Often Moves Like a Tetris GameSomething interesting becomes very clear when looking at the 1-hour footprint chart on Nasdaq.
Price action often behaves like a Tetris game of closing imbalances. Large directional moves leave behind clear footprint imbalances, and instead of continuing immediately, the market frequently comes back later to clean those areas.
You can see this repeated several times on the chart. A strong move creates an imbalance, price moves away, and at some point the market retraces back to that zone befor
Great trade setup today during NY AM!!My trade bias for the day leading into NY session was bearish considering the bull expansion from the day before. After open volatility, I seen internal highs forming and placed a sell limit order to ride it back down and that's exactly what happened. Day 5 on first PA account success!!
MNQ! Daily FIB Shows 0.618 Golden Pocket LONGIMNQ! Daily FIB Shows 0.618 Golden Pocket LONG
Interesting view of the MNQ! on a daily chart with a FIB tossed in from the last noticeable low to high.
MNQ! has visited the 0.786 and now "hanging on" in the 0.618 Golden Pocket.
This would lend towards a further move up. BUT this is an odd market and who knows.
If we move upwards above the 0.618 and hold it, will be bullish but all bets are off if war breaks out.
