Elliott Wave View: Nasdaq Futures (NQ_F) Poised To Extend HigherThe Nasdaq Futures (NQ_F) favors higher in bullish impulse sequence from April-2025 low. It already broke above December-2024 high & expect short term pullback in 3, 7 or 11 swings to remain supported. Impulse sequence unfolds in 5, 9, 13, 17, 21….. swings count. It ended daily corrective pullback in double correction at 16460 low of 4.07.2025 low. On daily, it should extend into 28864 – 26152 area to finish April cycle before next pullback start. Above there, it favors rally in (3) of ((1)). It placed (1) of ((1)) at 21858.75 high, (2) at 21071.50 low as shallow connector & favoring upside in 5 of (3) against 7.13.2025 low. Every pullback after 4.21.2025 low was shallow & unfolded in 3, 7 or 11 swings calling for more upside as long as it stays above 5.30.2025 low. Within (3), it ended 1 at 22222 high, 2 at 21566.75 low, 3 at 23102.50 high, 4 at 22803 low & favors upsides in 5 of (3). Wave 4 as flat correction ended in 7.13.2025 low of 22803 low.
Below 3 of (3) high, it placed ((a)) at 22779.75 low, ((b)) at 23112 high & ((c)) at 22803 low as flat connector against 6.22.2025 low. Above there, it ended ((i)) at 23424.75 high as diagonal & ((ii)) at 23108 low in 3 swing pullbacks. Above there, it should continue rally in ((iii)) of 5, which will confirm above 23424.75 high to avoid double correction. Within ((i)), it placed (i) at 23222.75 high, (ii) at 22835.5 low, (iii) at 23320.75 high, (iv) at 23169.50 low & (v) at 23424.75 high. Currently, it favors upside in 5 of (3) into 23493.5 – 23934.5 area, above 7.13.2025 low before (4) pullback. Based on swing sequence, it already has enough number of swings in (3) to call the cycle completed. But as long as it stays above price trendline, passing through 2 & 4, it should continue upside into extreme area. We like to buy the next pullback in 3, 7 or 11 swings at extreme area for intraday rally. It favors upside in April-2025 cycle & expected to remain supported in (4) & later in ((2)) pullback as next buying opportunity.

MNQ. Bear Flag Pressure Cooker. Will Demand Hold or Detonate?After last week’s strong rejection from the 23,300 supply zone, MNQ has shifted from a bullish channel into a clean descending structure. This break in character, combined with consistent lower highs and compression into a high-interest demand zone, sets the stage for a decisive move either a clean continuation lower or a fake out reversal to sweep short liquidity.
Currently, price is sitting just above a demand block around 23,025–22,950, a level that previously triggered aggressive buying. The recent grind lower shows fading momentum, suggesting either a buildup of sell pressure for a breakdown or a trap being set for shorts before the next rotation higher. This area is key it either holds and we see a sharp reaction, or we slice through and flush toward the next HTF support around 22,775.
The bearish case is the cleaner of the two: price remains in a descending channel, and any acceptance below 22,950 opens the door to continuation. A clean breakdown here would confirm the bear flag thesis and likely bring in trend-followers looking for a move to retest deeper support. This path offers a clear directional bias, measured risk, and multiple levels of confluence.
That said, a bullish reversal cannot be ignored. If price sweeps the demand zone and reclaims 23,100 with strength especially during the NY open, we could see a squeeze through 23,280, tapping the liquidity resting above the descending channel. This would invalidate the current bear structure and hint at a possible return to the mid-23,400s. But for this to play out, bulls need to act fast and strong reclaiming lost structure and shifting momentum convincingly.
Contextually, this setup is loaded. The weekly open sits far above at 23,428, while last week’s highs and lows bracket the range between 23,331 and 23,101. The key inflection is clear: demand either breaks and we bleed, or it holds and we trap.
With NY Open approaching, I’m watching for a 30-minute ORB to confirm direction. Momentum and volume will be critical in confirming which scenario plays out. Until then, the bias remains bearish but flexible.
Staakd Rating: 9.8/10
Bias: Bearish below 23,100. Bullish only on reclaim and break of 23,280.
Key Trigger Zone: 14:30 BST / 09:30 ET NY Open ORB
Targets: 22,775 (bearish) / 23,450 (bullish trap breakout)
Longing NQWell, This looks like a very good long trade. But since we are over extended to the upside, i will be very careful.
use medium size to take this long.
You need to monitor the price when it enters this purple zone, and check for confirmation that the price is truly reversing from this area.
Anyways, before i enter the trade i will be updating, so make sure you check back again.
NQ Targets (07-18-25)I have not posted a Target call in awhile, this one is Long to upper TZ (23,486) and Short to YTD Open level. Prior use of Diablo's to Target drop was prior to NAZ 25% drop (11/24 Post's).
We are due for some drop retesting as we watch typical Long Side Tweets, Tricks and Games start to fizzle some. Today into Monday will be a key signal.

We are building more levels although we have approached and created a new ATH.
Would love to see a retest of the levels below, especially with the momentum of leaving some levels untested and untouched. We have the 50% mark at 23310 that has been left and is also an untested wick level.
We have news from Wed and on!
Looking for Entry on NASDAQ - LONG The most traded price on /NQ Futures continuous contract in June was about 22000. With this ramp today and using Fibonacci from the April low - the .786 retracement puts at exactly 22000. That is confluence - as well this volume shelf should hold price. The Dow Futures /YM have been down over the last couple of weeks, the /ES only slightly up its all divergent which means nothing except fuel for longs taking shorts out looking at technical charts.
Trade wars? Tesla or Apple earnings - both have tariff risks. When and if we get there I will be looking to get long at 22000.
There is one more thing - there remains at a virgin point of control at 22050 as well - this adds to the confluence.
Its early on this this trade idea, I've revising the fib levels daily - however today it did give me this confluence - so I'm sharing it. Its possible we go to 25000 first- but unlikely.
2025-07-21 - priceactiontds - daily update - nasdaqGood Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: Melt-up and bears failed to close below last weeks high, which means we are still max bullish. Until bears print below 23200, longs just make more sense than trying to look for shorts.
current market cycle: bull trend
key levels: 23000 - 23500
bull case: Bulls remain in full control until we get a daily close below 22700. First target for the bears is a lower low, which means getting below today’s spike 23225. That would be a start but likely means sideways rather than more selling. If we stay above 23200, we can continue to print many more new highs.
Invalidation is below 22700.
bear case: Bears obviously are not doing enough. They need to print 23200 and that would only be the first small start. It would open the possibility for a test of 23000 but since we are barely printing any red bars and have not broken any bull trend line so far, it’s stupid to look for shorts. Wait for much bigger selling pressure.
Invalidation is above 23500.
short term: Neutral but if anything I am looking for long scalps against support like the 1h 20ema.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-06-29: No change in plans. I expect 20000 to get hit over the next 3 months and maybe 19000 again.
trade of the day: Long US open. Just a quick melt-up but I missed it.
NQ Short Setup: Contrarian Trade into Supply ZoneDouble top forming near 23,424.75 with supply overhead at H4 S2 Pivot – 23,439.25.
🎯 Entry: 23,432.00 (mid-range)
📘 TP: 23,393.00

NQ Weekly Outlook & Game Plan 20/07/2025NQ Weekly Outlook & Game Plan
🧠 Fundamentals & Sentiment
Market Context:
NQ continues its bullish momentum, driven by institutional demand and a supportive U.S. policy environment.
📊 Technical Analysis:
Price is currently in price discovery, and the weekly structure remains strongly bullish — so I prefer to follow the strength.
We might see a minor retracement before pushing further above the all-time high (ATH).
🎯 Game Plan:
I'm expecting a potential retracement to the 0.5 Fibonacci level, which is the discount zone in a bullish environment.
Interestingly, the 4H liquidity zone aligns perfectly with the 0.5 Fib level — this confluence suggests price may gather enough energy from there to make new highs.
