Will History Repeat Itself? NASDAQ 2025 vs 2020The NASDAQ 100 is currently showing a striking structural symmetry to the 2020 pre-crash formation.
Both phases formed a 5-wave impulsive rally, followed by tight consolidation near highs — a typical distribution top pattern.
The 20-day EMA is starting to flatten, signaling a possible loss of momentum.
If symmetry continues, the index could mirror a short- to mid-term correction, similar to early 2020’s breakdown.
While macro conditions differ today, market behavior often repeats in fractal patterns — a reminder that price structure often precedes headlines.
📊 Keep watch for a confirmed EMA rollover and breakdown below support near 25,500 — that could validate the bearish symmetry.
The Empty Feeling After A WinA trader messaged me recently after closing a big win.
He said, “I should’ve felt great but I just felt… flat.”
That sudden emptiness after the high it’s more common than you think.
Follow along. I hope this helps.
BUT FIRST
NOTE – This is a post on mindset and emotion. It’s not a trade idea or system designed to make you money.
My intention is to help you preserve your capital, focus, and composure — so you can trade your own system with calm and confidence.
HERE’S WHAT HAPPENS
You execute beautifully.
Plan followed. Risk managed.
Trade hits target. Account up.
You should feel satisfied.
But instead… there’s a drop.
The charts look dull.
The mind goes searching.
“Maybe one more setup.”
“Just check the next pair.”
That’s not greed.
That’s chemistry.
When you’re in a trade, your brain is flooded with dopamine the chemical of pursuit, anticipation and drive.
When you exit, that hit disappears almost instantly.
To the nervous system, that chemical drop feels like loss .
And loss, even after a win, triggers the instinct to get it back.
WHAT’S REALLY GOING ON UNDERNEATH
You’re not chasing profit.
You’re chasing stimulation, the feeling of being alive in the action.
The mind interprets that feeling as boredom or missed opportunity.
But really, it’s your biology craving more.
The subconscious has learned to equate stillness with emptiness.
So it pushes for movement to escape the come-down.
That’s why so many traders give back profits after doing everything right.
They’re not making bad decisions.
They’re trying to fix a feeling.
HOW TO CATCH IT BEFORE IT CATCHES YOU
1️⃣ Notice your come-down cue.
After closing a trade, does your body feel restless?
Do you scroll, check charts, or reopen the platform out of habit?
That’s the withdrawal in motion.
2️⃣ Name it, don’t fight it.
Say it internally: “This is dopamine dropping.”
It takes the mystery out of the urge.
3️⃣ Breathe through the drop.
A long exhale through the mouth… six seconds out tells the body it’s safe.
Let your eyes rest on something still.
4️⃣ Reframe the pause.
That quiet space after a win isn’t emptiness.
It’s integration.
It’s the moment your nervous system resets for the next run.
Trading mastery isn’t just execution.
It’s emotional regulation before, during and after execution.
I put a lot of time and thought into every post that goes out here so I appreciate your support.
Thank you
NQ Weekly Recap | November 2–7, 2025Hey everyone, this is the 1-hour chart. It shows the big picture of where price is going. We also use the 5-minute and 1-minute charts to find the exact spot to get in and put our stop loss nice and tight.This week NQ started around 26,400 and just kept falling, falling, falling… all the way down to 25,226. That’s over 1,100 points straight down! Price made a big rounded top (like a hill), then broke lower and never looked back. Every time it tried to bounce a little, the bounce was weak and got sold right away. Bears were in full control. Why was this so easy to trade? Because we only traded WITH the trend. Rule #1 for beginners: the trend is your friend. Going against it is hard. Going with it is like floating downstream instead of swimming upstream. Here’s exactly what we did every day in the New York session: Tuesday: price broke the last low (break of structure), we shorted the small bounce back.
Wednesday: another break lower, shorted the bounce again.
Thursday: opened with a gap down, jumped in on the 5-minute chart and rode it.
Friday: price sped up into the close, took the last piece on the 1-minute chart.
We never guessed. We waited for a clear break, shorted the weak bounce, put stop above the old low, and let the move run. Simple. If you’re new: stick to the 1-hour for direction, drop to 5-minute or 1-minute to pull the trigger. Trade with the trend. That’s it. Still no sign of bulls taking over. Trend is down until price proves otherwise.
HOW TO TRADE THE LONG TERM TREND BY DRAWING TRENDLINES!Hey Traders so today wanted to make a quick video that explains how to trade the long term trend early. Also when to move your trendline to stay with the market for as long as possible in long term trends.
Hope This Helps Your Trading 😃

NQ Range (11-10-25, Week 7)The 7 week Forecast is in the final week and we are up about 300 points after getting rejected at upper Target. NAZ back in the Churn Zone and did U Turn off Friday lows just under the Mid Level CZ. KL 483 is TZ to 25,333. Key fact is the NAZ and NDX are at long tern TL. Under the TL is Danger Zone to lower CZ and then TLX 24,056. Current range to watch is 25,333 and 24,817. Friday lift was Failed Auction up and these usually will get retested. Could be a start of a U Turn (that will drop and retest). Or, just another Friday pump drop offset that will trap the BTD/FOMO's.

NASDAQ (MNQ/NQ) – Multi-Timeframe Analysis
Price tapped into the 45-minute imbalance inside a 4H premium zone. The overall structure remains bearish, and the reaction confirms sellers defending this level.
Expecting continuation toward 25,300 and possibly 25,000 as the next liquidity zones.
Key confluence: 4H bearish structure + 45m FVG + liquidity grab on 5m.
📊 Educational analysis — not financial advice.
-------
Higher-Timeframe Context (4H Chart)
🔹 Overview
The 4H chart shows a clear bearish structure: lower highs and lower lows.
Price dropped aggressively from the 26,300–26,400 supply zone (blue).
The market then found strong demand at 24,800–25,000 (blue + gray confluence zone).
Current price is reacting to a 45-minute fair value gap (FVG) marked in red, sitting inside a bearish 4H imbalance.
🔹 Implications
The FVG at 25,550–25,600 represents a premium retracement level in a bearish leg.
This area is optimal for short-position entries as price taps into unmitigated imbalance.
Expectation: rejection → continuation toward 25,300 or lower, targeting the demand zone (24,900–25,000).
_______
Lower-Timeframe Confirmation (5-Minute Chart)
🔹 What’s happening now
Price just filled the 45-minute gap and reached the same supply zone.
Microstructure shows a slowdown + rejection wick from the red zone.
Potential entry trigger for short bias around 25,555–25,590.
Targets:
1st TP: 25,400 (internal liquidity)
2nd TP: 25,300 (structural low)
Stop-loss above 25,595 (above FVG).
🔹 Confluence
4H + 5M both align: bearish reaction at premium zone.
The liquidity buildup under 25,400 acts as the next target area.
NQ UpdateI told everyone to stay bearish until the NQ gap fills. We're almost there, just a small gap left.
The big question is, does the TACO gap need to fill? 2 previous TACO gaps were left unfilled in the spring so I'm not sure. There is also a small gap above from yesterday afternoon.
If NQ breaks below the lower channel line then we know it's headed for TACO. (Today is Taco Tuesday at my local bar as well, lol)

n and recent price action decline creates a cohesive short bias opportunity.
Timing Advantage: Entry during Globex session allows positioning before potential institutional flow during regular hours. Katy's prediction shows consistent downward pressure over next 120 periods.
Risk Mitigation: Tight stop loss at $25,450 provides 1:2.5 risk/reward ratio. Staggered take profits lock in gains while allowing for extended move.
🚨 IMPORTANT NOTES
Monitor for any unexpected news catalysts that could reverse technical bias
Katy prediction shows some volatility between Nov 11-12 with temporary rebounds before resuming decline
Options flow at extreme strikes ($20,000) suggests hedging activity that may indicate institutional caution
Normal VIX levels support trend continuation but watch for volatility spikes above 22
⚠️ KATY CONFLICT EXPLANATION
No Conflict Detected: My analysis fully aligns with Katy AI's bearish prediction. The technical decline of -2.11%, normal volatility environment, and lack of bullish catalysts all support the short bias. Katy's 69.2% confidence rating and consistent downward trajectory throughout the prediction horizon provide strong directional conviction.

NASDAQ: Retesting Breakout ZoneThis idea is based upon successful Breakout Retest scenario near a High-Volume Node (HVN).
Let's first get to the basics:
A successful Breakout Retest -
A breakout retest scenario occurs when the price breaks through a key level of support or resistance and then returns to test that same level before continuing in the breakout direction.
For example, if the price breaks above a resistance zone, traders wait to see if the price comes back down to that zone. If it holds as new support and shows rejection candles or strong buying, that’s called a successful retest.
At a successful retest, several things typically happen:
➡The old resistance acts as new support (or vice versa in case of breakdown).
➡Traders who missed the initial breakout enter the trade, adding momentum.
➡Weak hands or short-term traders exit, cleaning up the order flow.
➡The price often accelerates in the direction of the breakout with stronger conviction and volume.
In simple terms, a successful retest confirms that the breakout was genuine and not a false move.
High Volume Node -
HVN is a price level or zone on a volume profile where a large amount of trading activity has occurred. It represents an area where buyers and sellers actively agreed on price, leading to high transaction volume.
These zones usually act as balance areas- price tends to pause, consolidate, or even reverse near them because many traders have open positions there. When price revisits an HVN, it often encounters strong support or resistance, as market participants react to protect or exit their earlier trades.
In short, an HVN marks a fair value area on the chart where market consensus was strongest.
NASDAQ Analysis -
In the Nasdaq E-mini chart, we can observe a sharp decline from 25,394 to 24,158, but without any meaningful follow-through on the downside.
Subsequently, the price reacted once again from this same zone on 21st and 22nd October, before eventually breaking above 25,394 with strong momentum to form new highs.
At present, the market has pulled back to the 25,394 level, which previously acted as resistance. This area is now holding as support, suggesting a successful retest and presenting a potential buying opportunity.
Moreover, this retest is aligning with a HVN around 25,300, further reinforcing the support zone.
In the short term, the price is facing resistance near 25,900. A conservative long entry could be considered after a sustained move above 25,900, while an aggressive low-risk entry could be initiated around 25,500, closer to support.

NASDAQ-100 4H: demand is not gone, only waiting for the priceAfter the recent upward impulse, the price retraced into the key demand zone at 25 350–25 208, an area that has repeatedly triggered buying reactions in the past. T
he latest correction pushed the price into the 0.79–0.705 Fibonacci range, which frequently acts as a retest zone before continuation.
Below that lies an even stronger demand zone at 24 710–24 381, aligning with the 0.5 Fibonacci level and previous volume accumulation.
The trading logic here is simple: don’t chase the move, let the price come to demand and wait for confirmation.
As long as the market structure holds, the primary scenario remains bullish from demand zones with a target toward 26 360 and potentially higher.
Fundamentally, NASDAQ remains supported by expectations of softer Fed policy, strong tech capital inflows, and continued investment in AI, cloud, and data-center infrastructure. Smart money accumulates on corrections, not on peaks.
When price falls into demand, it’s not fear — it’s opportunity.

Stop Loss (SL): 25 409.25 (–0.23 %)
Risk / Reward (RR): 3.14 R
🔹 Market Context
After a broad distribution → markdown sequence, price reached a high-volume imbalance zone near 24 900–25 000 — a previous accumulation base.
🧾The session opened with a liquidity sweep beneath prior low (24,875) → confirmed displacement above intraday structure.
🧾Multiple FVG patches stacked through 25 200–25 400 served as a refined entry trigger and confluence for continuation.
🧾Volume expansion into the retrace + KAMA flattening then uptick confirmed a shift in short-term bias to bullish.
🧾Target aligns with upper gap fill/supply zone ≈ 25 700 (level of previous imbalance).
🔹 Model Type
Accumulation → FVG Continuation Model
Displacement leg established structural BOS above 25,300.
Entry taken on retrace into discount FVG and breaker block confluence zone (25 460–25 420).
Price objective: recovery into the premium zone (gap-fill @ 25 700).
🔹 Execution Notes
Entry triggered after observing a clean MSB on the 5-minute chart, with confirmation of a candle close above KAMA. Stop set below FVG origin (25,409) to maintain a tight risk. Partial profits secured at 25,600 region before NY open volatility. Risk controlled with FVG-based entry for ~3 R return potential within the session window.
5min TF overview
🔹 Trade Narrative
This MNQ setup represents a reversal transition from a bearish liquidity flush into a controlled markup. The combination of volume absorption at the low, multiple FVG alignments, and a clear BOS confirm smart-money accumulation. With strong confluence from session timing and gap magnet at 25,700, this position targets a measured buyside retracement within a broader range-bound context.
FVG & ORB5-Minute ORB + FVG Day-Trading Playbook (ES/NQ)
What you need
Platform: TradingView for markup; your execution platform (e.g., TopstepX / your broker) for orders.
Chart: ES (S&P 500 futures) or NQ (Nasdaq futures). Timeframe: 5 minutes.
Indicators:
Volume
Fair Value Gap
Key Levels (15-Min/5-Min Opening Range, New York Session or London)
Chicago time (your local): NY cash open is 8:30 a.m. CT. The “US evening reopen” (the Globex reopen) is 5:00 p.m. CT (use with caution; liquidity can be thin).
The strategy in one page
1) Define the Opening Range
Use the first 5-minute bar after the NY cash open (8:30:00–8:34:59 CT).
Mark ORH = that bar’s high, ORL = that bar’s low.
2) Direction filter = FVG
Bearish setup: Price breaks below ORL, and there is a bearish FVG nearby that has not been fully filled.
Bullish setup: Price breaks above ORH, and there is a bullish FVG nearby that has not been fully filled.
If an FVG fills/invalidates immediately after the break, skip the trade.
3) Entry
Enter on the break (or on a tiny retrace back to the level) in the FVG direction:
Below ORL with a short bias when a bearish FVG stands.
Above ORH with a long bias when a bullish FVG stands.
4) Stop & Target (bracket)
Stop: default at the opposite OR level (conservative).
Short below ORL → stop just above ORL (or the nearest invalidation level if tighter is justified).
Long above ORH → stop just below ORH.
Target: aim for 2R (risk:reward = 1:2), close above half, and trail the rest.
Example: If your stop is 10 ES points (=$500 per contract), target 20 ES points (=$1,000 per contract).
5) Risk per trade
Pick a fixed dollar risk that protects your account limits. With a $50k evaluation & ~$2,000 trailing max loss, many traders use $100–$300 per trade and micros (MES/MNQ) to scale precisely.
Contract & tick quick-ref
ES: 1 point = $50 (tick = 0.25, $12.50/tick)
NQ: 1 point = $20 (tick = 0.25, $5/tick)
MES (micro ES): 1 point = $5
MNQ (micro NQ): 1 point = $2
Sizing example, with MES (conservative)
You want a max loss of $200~300.
Signal requires 4 ES points to stop (=$200/contract).
Trade 1 ES or 4 MES (same risk), target 8 ES points for 2R.
Exact checklist (print this)
Pre-market
Chart on 5m, session = New York.
Mark ORH / ORL after the first 5-min bar closes.
Confirm bias by FVG: bullish FVG above / bearish FVG below, still unfilled.
News/Volatility check (FOMC/CPIs/major earnings): be extra cautious or skip.
Entry
Price breaks ORH/ORL in the same direction as the FVG.
No immediate fulfillment of that FVG.
Place bracket: Stop at opposite OR level (or clear invalidation), Target = 2R.
Manage
Set-and-forget if you struggle with tinkering.
If it snaps back and fully fills the FVG, early flattening is allowed by your rules (consistency > perfection).
No averaging losers.
Post-trade
Journal the screenshot, OR values, FVG state, R multiple, and any deviation from the plan.
When to skip
The first break immediately reverses and fully fills the FVG.
The OR is abnormally wide; the stop would exceed your risk budget.
Chop: multiple whipsaws through ORH/ORL within a few bars.
Event risk minutes away (e.g., CPI/FOMC); spreads/volatility unpredictable.
Low volume conditions (late sessions, holidays), unless your data says you have an edge there.
A realistic take on funded accounts & pacing
Evaluations often have daily loss, trailing drawdown, and max position rules. Treat the trailing specifically as if it’s glued to your closed PnL high-water mark—don’t let one impulsive add blow the account.
Keep resets rare by capping loss/day (e.g., 1–2R). One clean 2R win can offset two 1R losses.
Micros let you keep your exact dollar risk steady as the OR width changes day to day.
Routines that help
Two windows: TradingView (markup) and Execution DOM/ladder. Copy ORH/ORL and draw a rectangle for the FVG if your execution platform lacks the indicator.
Auto-brackets: pre-define your $ risk and 2R target so every entry is consistent.
Two sessions max: NY opens first; optionally, the US evening reopens (5:00 p.m. CT) only if your data says you have positive expectancy there.
Trade less, filter more: It’s normal to get 2–3 quality trades/week. No setup → no trade.
A compact rules card (copy/paste)
Timeframe: 5m. Levels: First 5-min bar → ORH/ORL.
Filter: Trade only with an unfilled FVG in the same direction as the OR break.
Entry: Break of ORH (long) or ORL (short).
Invalidation: FVG fully filled right after break → stand down/exit.
Stop: Opposite OR level (or nearest structure that truly invalidates).
Target: 2R.
Risk: Fixed $ per trade; use micros to fit the plan.
Daily max: 1–2R down → stop for the day.
Journal every trade (screenshot + R result + notes).

Guardrails (important)
“Making money in days” is possible but not typical; survivorship bias is real. Your edge is strict filtering + small, repeatable risk + patience.
Commissions/slippage matter—micros help sizing but raise the per-rake cost %; include this in your journaling.
Don’t scale to full contracts until your live track record shows consistency over at least 20–30 trades following the exact rules.
