NQ completes wave 5 to the upside in M30.
NQ completes wave five around 15490, and now we have two critical points to watch.
15275 is the current major support estimate, failed to hold here, and we might see a drop to around 14985. 15490 is an active resistance point that needs to be cleared to continue to the upside.
NQ - Range for 15 MinuteNQ's range for today should be contained to the following:
15,250 - 15,380
The Countertrend into EPS will hold until Big Cap TECH
begins to report.
We anticipate a Gap FIll as a higher probability Trade for
AM Session, and then renewed Price movement Higher
into the upper end of today's Range.
VIX Settlement - Low 16.10 - 17.20 Range
VXN should be observed closely as well, TNX 10 Year Note Yields.
We maintain this is a "Rushed" Countertredn into EPS with a
Larger Pullback ahead.
Price can extend into November 11th to the 21st should October 21
prove to be a non-event.
IMHO the 200 SMAs will be tested in 2021.
NQ - Daily SetupNQ completed a 9/9 Structure as the ROC's made new lows.
Attempting a ZERO Line Push on the ROC's will be a difficult
task but can Trade.
There is no sense in Gunslinging here.
Simply remain patient as Micro retracements take time to resolve
over repeating Level consolidations.
Time is our Amigo, Ranges will continue to expand after this RT
and consolidation.
Happy Hunting.

NQ - Fridays / ES YM RTY TLT ZN AMC TQQQ CLNQ is the last to break.
It's Friday.
The FED is providing $8.34 Billion in Coupon Purchases.
1/4 to 1/2 Size today.
We will be watching until 10AM EST, to see IF there is
support of any kind.
Selling pressure yesterday was significant, but
again... it's Friday.
Commentary from 2 prior Sessions does not change.
Have a good weekend - HK
NQ - Micro TFNQ filled it's Gap during Globex.
Close for RTH @ 15611.
Prior to Asia opening Price moved up to a Front Run of the Intra-Day 50%
@ 15637.50 by 6 Ticks.
ES YM RTY sell bias at present 21:10:22 PM EST.
VIX, although dipping in 4 Ticks below 18.15 caught the Bid.
It's going to be a long night for traders until this breaks, probably near 03:30:00 AM EST.
It remains a hot mess of a market, desperate attempts were made today to keep the range
within 100 and they did.
BUT - watching 1,000 ES Contracts fly by on the SELL during the closing minutes... not healthy.
See if they can cross the 537.50 level this evening... 526s are now open for Business.
NQ - Equity Analysis, Macro Events - Friday Powell 10AM ESTNQ and the Balance of Equity Instruments traded to resistance overnight ahead
of Today's Macro Data and Fed Chair Powell speaking @ 10:00 AM EST.
Kaplan's expected reversal of reversal Taper, came and went.
Bullard was extremely Hawkish yesterday.
IF Powell is less so, the DX will decline.
Financials remain in SELL. Bonds remains in a SELL.
ROCs in 10Yr need to be watched carefully.
VIX inside the Long from lows with all pullbacks defended - 18.95 LIS.
FRYday's are usually "VIX Attack".
Support for VIX M1 @ 19.65.
ES remains in a Larger Long, it defended the .382 with the Gap Fill @ 4466.65.
YM is the Weak Sister, it defends Globex resistance.
RTY has yet to trade a Pull Back.
The usual suspects - AMC TSLA ARKK do not look good... it is OPEX.
Gamma failing for the 4th week in a row.
Participation will roll off after 11:30 AM EST as EU Session closes.
BR/VG will be on the hunt... Friday's are theirs's.
We are taking today off from trading on balance with 1/4 to 1/2 size today
at maximum.
Next week will provide the continuation to advancing the SELL, we began positioning
for it this week. 38% Sell to Open presently DEC on Derivs and M1 - M3 Vix Complex.
Today's Price action will be aggressive if the usual suspects show up to run Prices.
We will simply Hedge DEC with SEP CTs if necessary.
10AM will obviously provide a reaction, we are SOH til then.
For today, we are Neutral and trading very small size, limiting risk exposure.
nq 15 min. considering many perspectives.nq could do a lot of different things. I see a lot of good arguments from both sides. technically we are in a downtrending market, meaning it's been in your best interest to find short positions. This could always change, but all we can really do is go with what the price history is telling us.
nq took a morning dive. looking for support now.nq is looking for buyers to step in this morning, and they are only recently doing so. Price could turn lower to the demand areas listed, or it could use the reigion it's at now to pivot and try to break the series of lower lows.
My hypothesis is that it will continue a little but lower before turning higher. Markets looking downhill across the board. some support coming into play on the s&p, but that's the only thing that looks like it might be ready to turn around at the moment.
nq lower again to the 15 minute. still looks bearish. nq is looking bearish to me on all time frames.
At this point I'm going to enter in a trade. It's pretty expensive to take 60 points of risk, however, you can do this without much stress using some micro contracts. For one contract of the mini it is right about $1300 risk looking for $3900 reward. In equivalent units that equates to 2 months of living expenses in Panama vs 5-6 months of expenses.
NQ - Hyper Bubble Targets into August 25, 2021NQ is behaving differently and remains the most overcrowded
trade of all Instruments.
The higher Targets, as absurd as they may seem, have an
increased probability of completing the Blow Off in Tech.
As improbable as this may seem, it has a higher probability
at this moment in time.
There is immense Risk into TECH EPS next week. The decline
in overall demand will begin to appear in Q2 EPS, but will
not begin to show up in force until Q3. This will be front
run ahead of September Q3 closes. It will be apparent then
Economic Activity has rolled over.
These ranges are extreme, we realize this, but would be remiss
if we did not provide all of the potential Extensions for NQ.
The Blow Off is attempting to begin, Retail is leading the chase.
More Faith Based Investing ahead in our opinions.
NQ short opportunityNQ is showing an RSI divergence within a wedge formation, offering short opportunities.
- aggressive entry on a break/close below 14,165
- conservative on a break/close below 13,960
- target1 = 13,780, target2 = 13,500-13,600 area
- stop on a close above 14,300
