NQ Long Target 26100-26200 by Jan 5thHey everyone! Happy Holidays. Looking at a move of a couple percent over the holidays to about 26100-26200 with a cold CPI print. The stagflation narrative is going to diminish if we see continued deceleration in inflation it will give the federal reserve more room to breathe on ensuring that the labor market stays supported. Today's MU earnings gave us a clear picture that the AI demand is real and being built out. Regardless there are still concerns over the funding of data centers for Oracle, and OpenAI's dominance. However, Oracle's CD's have gone to far and are due for some retracement which will cause the stock to prop up, even if it's temporary. However, I believe it's a good long term buy that'll see substantial gains over the next 2-3 years, once the dust settles. In addition, NVDA, MSFT, AMZN, META, AVGO, ORC have all seen some pretty big downside over the past 6-8 weeks. Given they're generating huge amounts of cash that'll fund 90% of the AI build out. I would extend some retracement back to the upside on these names to help lead the market back up into the end of the year. Santa Rally's usually bring: - Lower Liquidity due to HFs taking time off, and retail typically leans more bullish. - Tax loss selling should be mostly finished - Many shorts are likely in profit due to the pullback - Most bad trades should be cut by now. In thin liquidity there are wider order book gaps. - Small buy programs can move the price more, as well as any short coverings. - When it breakouts it can overshoot because there aren't as many shorts there (Aka less resistance) Into year end risk manager reduce forced selling. -Short hedges are typically reduced. -Funds stop EOY rebalancing aggressively. As long as there is no surprise Fed shocks, or credit events (low likely with fake QE), and no major geopolitical escalation. Lastly this is NOT guaranteed. We want to see TNX/VIX continue to come down into next year. Otherwise Santa may not be coming to town this year.

NQ 100 E-mini - Technical Update: C-D Leg Evolution & ProjectionAnalysis: A bullish AB=CD harmonic pattern remains in progress. The C-D leg has exhibited a strong impulsive advance, aligning with expected volume profile. However, price has yet to reach the primary Fibonacci projection cluster that defines the pattern's D-point completion zone. Recent Price Action & Interpretation: A pullback occurred following a test of the initial 1.000 Fibonacci projection (25,323). This is interpreted as a routine retracement within the broader C-D leg, not a reversal signal. Critical Technical Tenet: The pattern is not considered complete until price tests the 1.272-1.414 Fibonacci extension zone, which serves as the primary confluence for the D point. Forward Outlook & Triggers: With the pattern still within its normative completion window, the path of least resistance remains upward toward the key projection zone. A sustained move into the 1.272-1.414 area is sought for potential long exit or reversal setups. Any breach below would negate this constructive view.

NQ Pre-date ideaAfter yesterday’s sell-off, I’ve moved away from the idea that this was a daily uptrend experiencing a simple 4-hour retracement. Price action clearly indicated a need for deeper corrective movement. At this point, I believe there is still downside risk, which forms my bias for the day. On the 15-minute to 1-hour charts, the structure appears to be a 1-hour retracement within a broader 4-hour downtrend—an area that could present a high-quality short opportunity. Additionally, we have yet to see a sweep of any significant liquidity to the downside that would generate sufficient buying pressure to reclaim higher levels and shift market structure back to the upside. Today, I’ll be watching for a breakdown and continuation out of the 15-minute to 1-hour retracement, with Wednesday’s low of day as the primary downside target.

Theory: 24,200 target in Globex session 12/17/25This is a theory based on speculation. Normally, we don't speculate but this is backed by technicals. Trump addressing nation at 9 pm today. Keep that in mind. All day, market's been dumping. We finished around -1.75% in the red. CME_MINI:NQ1! Now hear me out. At MOC, we dumped 100 points and the low of day was literally the 3:59:59 pm candle. EST of course. What happened after 4 pm? Pumped 110 points almost instantly: Why did that happen? To cause a gap after market and then get dumped on during Globex. Potentially: what caused the dip? Sure sure some news. But what caused EOD dip other than Market On Close Imbalance? Potentially: someone knows what 9 pm will be about (Venezuela War?), "My fellow Americans, we're going to war". Something like that. Recall: GWB II & Iraq. But why address the nation at 9 pm in Globex if it's not bearish? To cause as much dip as possible and let it settle overnight where buyers can buy the dip. That means people who dipped at 3:57-3:59 pm get in lower tomorrow at 9:30 AM. What's my plan? Trade shorts in Globex tonight if I do trade. So far the theory is theorying and Globex is dumping with tp below NYC close: Will probably aim to buy dips low low 24ks tomorrow after market open. Remember the people who exited 3:59 will wanna get in lower. Otherwise it's not worth it for em. Disclaimer: this is all speculation backed with some technicals. I usually don't trade this way. But if we're talking bearish, look at the 4hr inverse cup & handle & 25076 support break & close below the whole day's range.

NQ_F is at an important spot here. Shorts are valid below 50MA.#NQ_F is really struggling to reclaim the 50MA(25200). In weak markets you should be looking to sell bounces that fail and this market is looking weak. 8MA(25458) is trying to cross below the 21MA(25406) with all 3 MA's curling down. I wouldn't be long here unless price can reclaim 25200 and I would be short on tests of 25120 or 25170 that fail or on a hold below 25940 to target 24820, 24775 and the 100MA(24631). Look out below if the 100MA breaks.
