NQ Targets (11-24-25)The downtrend is on and will play inside the Diablo's (red diagonal lines) until breakout. 24,600 to 24,056 is Churn Zone and 24,708 and 24,226 are KL's to watch for opposite direction trades 1st and follow through 2nd. NAZ did come close to -10% level in the overnight, popped back up on a Friday (typical). The original Short call was aiming at all the O/N gaps up from prior Rig lift (from O/N), these have been cleaned out. The NDX chart will show these that started on 10/24 through 10/29. Note, from here the math gets interesting and can be illustrated on the NDX chart. We may see heavier selling in the O/N as 11/20 was an outside day reversal close. Notice on the NDX chart that the recent 58% lift can erased will only a 37% drop and the YTD 24% high is erased will only a 19% drop. Heavy volume lower after light volume (off session) lift. Keep in mind that the O/N has a new limit down of -7% (old was -5%). Keep in mind the drawdown math effect = pain. Unless we see a retest that can get above NDX Danger Zone and get back above the Upper TZ or long term trendline (orange, 25,095). NDX 25,095 - 23,233 is Churn Zone until breakout. NQ - NDX differential is about 200 points. NDX Chart

NQ Year End Range (11-17-25)Recent price action is looking like what we saw late 2024 into 2025, prior to 26% drop (Feb,25). You can view the Post here: The lift back up from the 26% drop has been a 60% run up on low volume, including the 10 minute 12% pop from Wash ST. "time to buy" Tweet. NAZ under long term TL (Orange trendline), needs to get above. Yellow line is drop trade and white is drop/pop trade. 294,910 - 25,910 is the Churn Range and look for a breakout. Below 24,910 is drop testing and looking for bounce back up, any lift near 25,910 (during the Overnight) should drop back inside Churn Zone.

If Nasdaq can crack the pressure line then...🔱 We have a Hagopian on the down-move. 🔱 Price was (so far) not able to reach the L-MLH of the red fork. If buyers can eat through the pressure cheese, then the Long-Play is on. Most often we see price breaking the pressure line and then coming back to it, scaring out the early longs, just to rush upwards again. So don’t panic if this happens. Place a proper stop and you're good. As for targets, there is the red Centerline and the white Centerline. On a break of the red CL, we have a high chance to see the same scenario as with the pressure line: UP-Down-MoreUp. First snow in Switzerland arrived and Santa is preparing the reindeer to bring us some dough ;-) Wish you all a profitable Friday.

Point (E) acts as the base from which the next structure begins. Triangle Wedge Pattern (Not financial advice) Right after point (E), the market forms a tightening triangular structure Upper descending line seller pressure Lower ascending line buyer pressure This pattern shows compression before a larger movement. Gap Fill Area (Not financial advice) The GAP FILL zone inside the triangle marks an area where price previously skipped quickly. Price often returns to such zones, creating temporary support or a magnet before continuation Price Targets (Not financial advice) 1ST TARGET Primary upside objective if price breaks above the triangle. 2ND TARGET A farther target indicating strong bullish expansion.

Next week NQ BearishNext week’s price outlook appears bearish. Market structure shows a clear downtrend following the confirmed break of the previous swing low. Price is expected to retrace into the iFVG before continuing lower toward the downside order block. The iFVG aligns precisely with the lowest tick of the highest candle of the prior move and sits in the correct position relative to the previous supply zone. The order block below is a high-probability area, as five liquidity lows are positioned directly above it.

NQ Week 48 T.A explained - BackSide (BS) FrontSide (FS) Inverse BS (Inv.BS) Inverse FS (Inv.FS) BS & FS levels are expected support when dashed lines, tested when dotted and resistance when solid lines. The inverse is true for the Inv. BS Inv. FS levels, they are resistance as dashed lines, tested as dotted and support as solid lines. Monthly timeframe is color pink weekly grey daily is red 4hr is orange 1hr is yellow 15min is blue 5min is green if they are shown. strength favors the higher timeframe. 2x dotted levels are origin levels where trends have or will originate. When trends break, price will target the origin of the trend. its math, when the trend breaks, the vertex breaks too so the higher timeframe level/trend that breaks, the more volatility there could be as strength in the orders flow in to fuel the move.

Derivatives & Options Trading Trends1. Rising Retail Participation and Democratization of Derivatives One of the most significant trends is the rapid increase in retail participation, especially in markets like India, the U.S., and parts of Asia. Platforms such as Robinhood, Zerodha, Upstox, and Interactive Brokers have made derivatives trading more accessible by offering low-cost or zero-brokerage models, simplified interfaces, and educational tools. In India, index options volumes on NSE have surged to record highs, driven by weekly and even daily options expiries. Retail traders now actively participate in directional and non-directional strategies including spreads, straddles, strangles, and intraday scalping. Because of lower margin requirements and high leverage, derivatives have become an attractive entry point for younger traders. This democratization comes with both opportunities and risks. While broader participation enhances market depth and liquidity, it also increases systemic concerns around over-leverage, herd behaviour, and inadequate understanding of derivatives mechanics. 2. Explosive Growth of Weekly and Short-Dated Options Short-tenor options—weekly, daily, and even zero-day options (0DTE)—have become a global phenomenon. The U.S. S&P 500 Index (SPX) now sees major volumes in 0DTE options, favoured by traders for intraday speculation, gamma exposure, and event-driven strategies. Similarly, in India, weekly Bank Nifty and Nifty expiries have turned into some of the most traded options worldwide. Traders prefer these contracts for: Lower premiums Quick payoff realization High volatility leading to strong intraday movements Flexibility to align with macro events (Fed decisions, CPI data, RBI policy, earnings, etc.) Short-dated options have reshaped intraday volatility patterns, with large swings near expiry due to gamma effects and dealer hedging flows. 3. The Era of Algorithmic and Quantitative Trading in Derivatives Quantitative models and algorithmic trading systems now dominate global derivatives markets. Hedge funds, proprietary desks, and even retail quants increasingly use: Market-neutral strategies Volatility arbitrage High-frequency scalping Options-based hedging Gamma and vega-weighted portfolios Machine-learning-driven directional trades In India, algo penetration in derivatives has increased dramatically after regulatory approvals for API-based trading. Low-latency systems allow quants to execute thousands of trades per second, exploiting micro-imbalances, liquidity pockets, and implied-volatility mispricings. Algo trading is particularly influential in options markets, where pricing inefficiencies emerge frequently due to time decay and volatility shifts. 4. Surge in Volatility Trading and Volatility Derivatives A major global trend is the rise of volatility as an asset class. Traders now actively trade volatility, not just price direction, through: VIX futures and options Implied volatility strategies (IV crush, IV expansion) Calendar spreads Vega-neutral portfolios Volatility arbitrage between indices and individual stocks During major macro events—geopolitical shocks, central bank decisions, inflation releases—volatility spikes create large opportunities for professional traders. The global appetite for volatility exposure reflects increasing macro uncertainty in markets shaped by inflation cycles, geopolitical risks, and policy unpredictability. 5. Growing Popularity of Exotic Options and Structured Derivatives Beyond standard call and put options, demand is rising for exotic derivatives, especially among institutions. These include: Barrier options Asian options Binary options Lookback options Range accrual derivatives Digital payoff structures Structured product desks in banks use these derivatives to offer tailored risk-return solutions to corporate treasuries, high-net-worth individuals, and offshore investors. In equity derivatives, structured notes like autocallables are gaining traction globally, especially in European and East Asian markets. 6. Commodities and Currency Derivatives: A Renewed Focus Commodity and currency derivatives have seen renewed interest due to global supply chain disruptions, geopolitical instability, and inflation pressures. Key Drivers: Oil price volatility due to Middle East conflicts Agricultural supply shocks Currency fluctuations driven by monetary policy divergence Rising importance of hedging for import- and export-dependent industries In India, the launch of new currency derivatives and increased retail interest in crude oil and natural gas options have broadened the market. 7. Interest Rate Derivatives and the Post-Rate-Hike World As central banks oscillate between tightening and easing cycles, interest rate derivatives (IRDs) such as swaps, futures, and swaptions have gained remarkable importance. Key themes include: Hedging long-term debt exposure Speculation on rate paths Positioning around government bond yield movements Managing duration risk for institutional investors The pricing of interest rate options is now heavily influenced by inflation expectations, forward guidance, and global economic conditions. 8. Regulation, Risk Control & Margining Reforms Global regulators have tightened rules around derivative trading to ensure transparency and reduce systemic risk. Major reforms include: Mandatory margining for futures and options Upfront collection of SPAN + Exposure margin Position limits for retail participants Greater disclosures for brokers and exchanges Risk-based levies on high-frequency trading Banning of certain high-risk derivatives for retail in some regions In India, peak margin rules and tightened risk controls have significantly changed intraday derivatives strategies, reducing excessive leverage. 9. Rise of Data-Driven Decision Making Modern derivatives traders rely heavily on: Real-time order book analytics Option Greeks monitoring systems Volatility surface modelling Big-data sentiment indicators AI-driven predictive models Access to sophisticated analytics platforms—Sensibull, Opstra, TradingView, Bloomberg, Reuters, and broker-provided tools—helps even retail traders adopt institution-grade analysis. 10. Shift Toward Multi-Asset Derivative Strategies Markets are becoming increasingly interconnected. Traders now prefer multi-asset strategies that combine: Equity + Currency Equity + Commodity Interest Rate + Currency Options + Futures Cross-country derivatives These hybrid strategies help hedge correlated risks and exploit arbitrage opportunities across markets. Conclusion Derivatives and options trading are undergoing a profound transformation driven by retail participation, technological advancement, algorithmic dominance, volatility-focused strategies, and regulatory shifts. Markets are faster, more interconnected, and more complex than ever before. Whether used for hedging, speculation, arbitrage, or portfolio diversification, derivatives remain a cornerstone of modern financial markets. As the global environment becomes more uncertain, derivatives will continue to play a crucial role in risk management and trading innovation—shaping the next era of financial markets.
