NASDAQ 100 HEAD AND SHOULDERS FORMATION CANCELED Hey traders FOMC week and we are back to looking at the Nasdaq. Picking tops and bottoms in these markets is always challenging to say the least. Well what do we have here? Market has now broken above the head of this pattern which means no more Head & Shoulders. A close above the right shoulder or the head cancels the formation. So at this point I don't think anyone knows how the market will react after this weeks FED meeting. So therefore I think it's a wait and see approach before creating a new trading plan at least imo. So No Scenarios yet until after FOMC. Watch out for Volatility!😬 Good Luck & Always use Risk Management! (Just in we are wrong in our analysis most experts recommend never to risk more than 2% of your account equity on any given trade.) Hope This Helps Your Trading 😃 Clifford RISK DISCLOSURE TRADING IN THE FUTURES AND FOREX MARKET INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT RISK.

Bullish Nasdaq-but thread lightly Sep 15-19 CME_MINI:NQU2025 Quick summary / bias Price put in a clear bullish structure through Thursday → Friday (higher highs, higher lows) but just hit a liquidity sweep up to 24159 and pulled back into a visible Imbalance / order-block area that sits right above the 4H open / purple line at 24001.50. So my primary bias is bullish as long as price holds the 24000–24040 area. If price breaks and closes below the origin lows around 23969 → 23909 the bias flips bearish. ---------------------------------------------- What I see (structure + important levels) Higher-timeframe context: an impulsive move up from the 23960–23970 region into the 24159 high — that’s a clear displacement and creation of a bullish imbalance (the shaded box on the chart). Liquidity events: a pronounced wick above 24159 (buy-side liquidity run) followed by a quick sell—classic stop-hunt then retrace into the Price Imbalance. Key horizontal levels to use: Resistance / short-term target: 24159.00 (recent high / liquidity high). Primary support / confluence (buy zone): 24001.50 (purple line / 4H open) and the grey FVG just above it (~24000–24080 area). Invalidation / bearish trigger: a decisive break below 23969.00 (and especially below the referenced originating imbalance around 23909–23871 on the left). Current quote on the chart: 24,115.25 (shows we’ve pulled off the 24159 high and are sitting into the gap/OB). ---------------------------------------------- Trade ideas (clear entries, stops, targets) A — Primary (preferred) — Long (mean-reversion into Imbalance / structural buy) Why: Market made an impulsive rally; sweep above 24159 sucked liquidity and then pulled back into the bullish imbalance + 4H open — a high-probability area for continuation if buyers defend it. Entry (limit or 1-min confirmation): ~24020 (inside the Imbalance / just above 24001.50). If you trade micro time frames: wait for a 5-min displacement down into the FVG and then a 1-min bullish rejection (tight lower wick + bullish engulf / strong rejection) to enter. Stop: 23950 (just below the liquidity sweep low / below 23969). Targets: T1: 24159.00 (recent high). T2: 24240 ( extension if T1 runs — measured continuation ). Risk math (example): Entry = 24,020; Stop = 23,950 → risk = 70 points. T1 = 24,159 → reward = 139 points → RR ≈ 1.99 : 1. T2 = 24,240 → reward = 220 → RR ≈ 3.14 : 1. Management: scale out (25% at T1, move stop to breakeven, trail rest by structure). --------------------------------------------------- B — Aggressive Long (breakout continuation) Trigger: Clean break and close above 24159 and a retest that holds the level. Entry: Long on retest above 24159. Stop: below the retest low (e.g., 24120). Target: next measured move / psychological round levels (e.g., 24280–24320). ---------------------------------------------------- Execution rules / signals (so you’d know exactly what to do) Prefer entries at confluence: Imbalance + 4H open + prior liquidity level (24000–24040). Micro confirmation: On the 5-min, look for the displacement into the FVG; on the 1-min look for a clean rejection (long wick and quick bullish candle) before hitting “buy”. This matches your stated process (displacement on 5m, reversal on 1m). Position sizing: risk per trade = set so your stop distance × size = e.g., 0.5%–1% of account. Don’t risk full target size on one slice—scale in. If price closes below 23969 on the 1H (or a strong 5-min close below), stand down on longs and look for short entries only after a retest. ---------------------------------------------------- Invalidation & what to watch Invalidation of bullish view: clean close and follow-through below 23969 (especially if price closes and stays below 23909). That flips the edge to the bears. Confirmation of continuation: price holds the Imbalance/4H open (24001.50) and reclaims/prints above 24159 with a clean retest (shows buyers absorbed liquidity). ---------------------------------------------------- Remember that confirmation not only validates the idea but it increases the success probability of the idea.

Equity markets demonstrate the power of trading with institutional backing, while defensive positioning in overextended and abandoned assets validates professional risk management protocols. Strategic Positioning : Maintain high equity allocation (70-80%) with systematic profit-taking protocols, defensive commodity management, and complete avoidance of void territory assets. The framework's ability to identify optimal risk-adjusted opportunities while preventing catastrophic losses represents institutional-grade market intelligence application. Professional Discipline : Continue systematic adherence to institutional intelligence over short-term market noise, maintain enhanced visual framework standards, and apply professional risk management protocols across all timeframes and market conditions. Next Review : Weekly combined chart analysis scheduled for September 21, 2025, with continued focus on institutional intelligence validation and systematic framework application. Risk Disclaimer : All trading involves substantial risk of loss. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The institutional intelligence framework provides analytical tools for risk assessment but cannot eliminate market risk. Position sizing and risk management protocols must be adjusted based on individual account size, risk tolerance, and market conditions. Professional Standards : This analysis represents systematic application of institutional intelligence methodology developed through extensive market research and validation. Continued framework discipline and professional risk management remain essential for sustainable trading success.

Radical Departure from YouTube WisdomShall we buck conventional YouTube Wisdom which says one must use a stop loss and one must have at least a 1.1R target? Let's start with an hypothetical $50,000.00 account and document its success or failure with the following Trade Plan: 1.Buy the Breakout 2.Buy the Dip 3.Buy the Pivot We will use this chart as our starting point. As we progress, we will flesh out our Trading Plan. We will lay down Foundational Principles which will be the bedrock upon which we build. Skyscrapers exist on lower Manhattan because of the bedrock beneath. Francis Schaeffer called this True Truth - things that are true for all people at all times. Buy the Breakout Plan 1.Buy 1 contract of NQ at every multiple of 10 with a target of 19 points. 2.Buy 4 contracts of MNQ at every multiple of 5 with a target of 19 points. Away we go!

Nq LongChart speaks for itself. Previous resistance flipped into support, trendline is intact, and I expect it to hold in the coming days leading up to the Fed meeting. NB! market could reverse early and push higher before touching the highlighted zone. Best approach is to actively monitor price action today for bullish signals. If you want to play it safe, wait for confirmation in the yellow zone. If you’re more aggressive, the red box is where you start paying close attention. In the coming days: My base case (what i hope for): once rate cut announced → market sells off. Ideally, we get a decent dump that creates a better entry to reposition with size. I’ll reassess and update once we see how it plays out.
