US100 – Missed Entry, but the Structure Was Perfect. Market Structure
The overall trend remains bearish. Price broke strongly below the previous Order Block, confirming sellers are still in control.
2. Order Block + Volume
The bearish OB was formed by a strong impulsive candle with high volume — a clear footprint of smart money. Price retraced but missed the entry zone by just a few points.
3. Liquidity
Before the major drop, price swept the liquidity above and instantly reversed. A classic pattern: liquidity grab → OB retest → sell-off.
4. Retest Logic
Even though the entry was missed, the V-Shark OB structure remained perfectly valid. When you follow the right logic, another opportunity always comes — no need to FOMO.
Conclusion
A missed entry doesn’t mean a bad analysis. It simply means the market didn’t offer the exact fill. Discipline over impulse — always.

Market Watch: NASDAQ at a Critical JunctureToday, all eyes are on the NASDAQ as we head into a key earnings release. The index is approaching a pivotal short-term level — the 55-day moving average at 24,091, which aligns closely with the August high of 23,969. With the daily RSI nearing oversold territory around 30, there's a strong chance this level could hold on the initial test.
But here's the catch: the weekly chart is flashing warning signs.
🔍 The weekly RSI has already topped out, suggesting momentum is fading. If the 55-day MA doesn't hold, we could see a deeper pullback toward the 55-week moving average at 22,035, which also aligns with the late 2024 high of 22,222.
This level could be the litmus test for the broader bull trend. A weekly close below it would be a major technical breakdown — and let’s not forget, the NASDAQ often leads the S&P.
Stay sharp. The next few sessions could be decisive.

AI-bubble fears dragged USTEC lower.
Alphabet (GOOGL) CEO Sundar Pichai added to the cautious mood, noting that the current AI boom shows signs of irrationality and warning that no company would be immune if the bubble bursts.
Meanwhile, ADP data showed private-sector jobs falling by roughly 2.5k per week over the four weeks to Nov 1, fueling worries about a labor-market slowdown. Fed Governor Waller reiterated his support for a December rate cut, citing ongoing softness and stagnation in the labor market.
This week’s NFP release may shape expectations for further Fed easing and add to market volatility.
USTEC extended its downtrend, breaking below 24525. The diverging bearish EMAs indicate a potential expansion of the bearish structure.
If USTEC breaks below 24300, the index could decline further toward the next support at 24000.
Conversely, if USTEC closes back above 24525, the index may advance toward the next resistance at 25200.

US100 Technical Outlook: Bearish Pullback Inside a Key LiquidityHey traders 👋
The US100 (NASDAQ 100) is currently sitting in a very interesting technical position on the 4-hour chart.
Let’s break it down 👇
🧭 Structure Overview
After a strong bullish leg that peaked near 25,800, the index entered a descending corrective channel.
We’ve now hit an important support cluster around 24,975 – 25,000, which previously acted as a pivot zone.
I’ve mapped two main liquidity boxes (blue & yellow) that show where buyers and sellers built positions during the last phases of consolidation.
Notice how price rejected from the upper boundary of the yellow box twice — confirming short-term supply pressure.
📊 Volume Analysis
Volume has been elevated on each red candle, confirming that this down-move isn’t just a retracement without conviction.
However, the most recent bar shows a strong bullish reaction on higher volume, indicating potential absorption — smart money may be defending the 25K handle.
If we see declining volume on the next two green candles → likely dead cat bounce.
If volume expands again above 25,200 → we might get a break and retest of the red trendline for a short-term continuation toward 25,600–25,750.
🧱 Key Levels
Zone Bias Comment
25 210 – 25 220 Resistance Prior liquidity flip zone, possible rejection area
24 975 – 25 000 Current support Reaction zone, watch for confirmation candle
24 600 Target 1 Measured-move projection
24 250 – 24 300 Target 2 Major daily demand zone / possible higher-low base
🔻 Bearish Scenario (Primary Plan)
Short bias remains valid below 25 210.
Expect a short-term bounce into 25 100–25 200, then rejection.
Targets: 24 600 → 24 250.
Invalidation: close above 25 220 on strong volume (would flip the structure bullish).
🟢 Bullish Alternative
If bulls can close a 4H candle above 25 210 – 25 220 with confirmed volume > previous red bar,
the down-channel breaks, and we may see a fast rally back to 25 600 – 25 750.

📅 Summary
Trend: Medium-term uptrend, short-term correction
Bias: Bearish below 25 210
Setup: Channel rejection → continuation toward 24 600 / 24 250
Risk: Volume-based breakout above 25 220

Nasdaq 100 Poised for a Deep Corrective Move After Breaking Key The Nasdaq 100 index has retreated toward a key area after a clear break below the ascending trendline that has held since mid-year, reinforcing expectations of a broader corrective wave. The current decline below the 25,000 – 24,600 zone indicates weakening bullish momentum, especially after breaking the previous low (Point 1), which supports the outlook for the index to move within a multi-leg bearish structure (five-wave decline).
The most likely scenario at this stage is a continued move lower toward the major moving averages, targeting the 22,800 – 22,200 zone as the first stage (Wave 3), followed by a limited rebound (Wave 4), before resuming the decline into Wave 5. This sequence would mark the beginning of a relatively deep correction compared to the prior bullish trend.
SHORT UNTIL LATE APRIL 2026OUR OBSERVATION
NASDAQ made three significant tops in its price action from 2009 to the present in a sequence of an expanding Phi.
February 2020 High = 9736.57 (This is the 1.0 growth level divided into a Log function)
(9736.57 / 10^4) = 0.973657 (Equivalent to 3/3 = 1.0)
November 2021 High = 16764.86
(16764.86 / 10^4) = 1.676486 ( This is the 5/3 Fibonacci sequence or a variation of 1.618)
Current High at 27th October 2025 = 26182.10
(26182.10 / 10^4) = 2.618210 (This level indicates the 8/3 growth sequence or 2.618 level)
TRADE PLAN
If we project a sequence of thirds, (1/3, 2/3, 3/3), then the three tops from 2009 made an expanding sequence along 3/3, 5/3, and 8/3 nodal points , at 9736.57, 16764.86 and 26182.10 levels respectively. Each node effected a correction, and by projection, we expect price to correct steadily until late April 2026. (1,2,3,5,8...) points form the price tops. The zone between 26182.1 and 26880.XX will be our confluence zone to expect a decline.
We projected the 27th October top as far back as April 2025, where we mentioned a broader cross assets decline. If we compare NASDAQ's price to SP-500 and DJIA, then we can create a larger sequence pattern. SP-500 top reached 6920.34 being 2/3 on the sequence while DJIA reached 48040.64, the 13/3 node. Several markets reaching tops at the same time cooks a sharp long decline. Therefore, we will keep short entries for all three markets until the tops break.
NOTE: We do not trade news effects, we only trade measurable facts the charts indicate. However, we look to the news for signals that add strength to our expectations.
Trade safe, good luck
Nasdaq 100 Under PressureNasdaq 100 Under Pressure
As the chart shows, the Nasdaq 100 index fell today (point 3) to its lowest level in a month, making it the weakest performer among the major US indices. The sell-off in the technology sector has been driven by a double blow:
→ A reassessment of expectations for the Federal Reserve’s next rate move. According to market observers, the probability of a Fed rate cut on 10 December continues to decline and now stands at 43%, compared with 62% a week earlier.
→ Growing scepticism about the valuations of companies linked to artificial intelligence. A Bank of America fund managers’ survey revealed heavy overcrowding in tech: 54% cited “long Magnificent 7” as the most crowded trade, while 45% viewed an AI bubble as the biggest tail risk.
Technical Analysis of the Nasdaq 100 Chart
When analysing the hourly chart of the Nasdaq 100 on 10 November, we identified an ascending channel. However, mounting selling pressure has resulted in:
→ the channel being extended downwards;
→ its former lower boundary (which acted as support) now acting as the median line and serving as resistance.
From the demand perspective:
→ The lower boundary of the expanded channel may prevent a deeper bearish move.
→ The chart shows a sequence of false bearish breakouts (1–2–3), where the price dips slightly below the previous low only to reverse sharply upward — signs of a Liquidity Grab pattern that may indicate buyer aggression.
From the supply perspective:
→ The 25220–25415 zone appears to be a confirmed FVG area, where a clear market imbalance emerged and sellers strongly dominated.
Bulls may attempt to push the Nasdaq 100 back into the ascending channel, but whether this scenario plays out will largely depend on Nvidia’s quarterly earnings report — a key event for the technology sector, scheduled for release tomorrow.

SIGNS OF WEAKNESS ON NASNAS100 1H - This pair is showing signs of weakness, it looks as though price is respecting these areas of Supply and is continuing to trade us lower. We have also been delivered with a higher timeframe break to the downside.
This is indicating further bearishness in this market, I would personally be looking for short temporarily with this pair, as you can see price is approaching an area of Supply now, this could act as an entry point.
We need to wait for price to trade in, clear this area and give us some kind of entry confirmation before getting involved. We would need to see price break structure to the downside before taking us lower.
I have set an alert and will keep you all updated on whether or not I vet a valid short entry for this pair moving forward, its important we treat this pair with caution.

Nasdaq 100: Bulls on the Back Foot as 50DMA Gives WayOur Nasdaq 100 contract is looking heavy. Very heavy.
The price action has been increasingly unconvincing for bulls in November, culminating on Monday with the price closing beneath the 50-day moving average for the first time since April. That’s a noticeable departure from what was seen when tested in the recent past, with the price often reversing higher immediately after. Not on this occasion.
Should the price remain below the 50-day moving average, the next focal point is uptrend support that’s been in place for over six months. In each of the past two sessions the price has traded through the level only to reverse higher, attracting buyers on dips beneath 24650—that’s the battleground to watch in the near term.
If the price were to close beneath uptrend support and 24650, it would bolster conviction that a deeper downside flush may be coming, allowing for shorts to be established with a stop above the uptrend to protect against reversal. 24000 provided support and resistance earlier this year, making it a potential initial target.
Of course, should the price remain above the uptrend, the setup could be flipped with longs set above it or the 50DMA, should the price reclaim it. 25200, downtrend resistance from the record highs, or 25715 are all potential targets. Given the unconvincing price action recently, an obvious bullish reversal signal would be preferable before considering long setups.
The message from RSI (14) and MACD is tilted lower when it comes to directional bias, with the former trending beneath 50, indicating building bearish pressure. MACD remains in positive territory, although having already crossed the signal line from above, at the very least it’s indicating waning topside strength. Given its trajectory, it may soon confirm the bearish signal.
Good luck!
