Nasdaq Futures: A Textbook Day of Balance and Precision PlaysNQ Recap - Sep 3, 2025: A masterclass in balance! Weaker JOLTS data sparked a relief rally, easing yields and lifting stocks, though markets zigzagged. Best trades? Confirmed breakouts or "look-above-and-fail" fades at 23,460.5 (IB high). Price held 23,407 support, squeezed late to 23,460, stalling at 23,472. Lower JOLTS signaled a cooling job market, hinting at eased inflation and Fed rate cuts—fuel for stocks, but recession fears loomed.
Tomorrow: Watch 23,407 & 23,460-72; break above targets 23,495-550, rejection eyes 23,3472.

NQ2! trade ideas
NQ HnS/Ranging Possible Head and shoulders pattern on the daily with right shoulder forming.
Price is sitting within the middle if the weekly range after rejecting the high of the range at 23,845.00.
Price is also consolidating within a triangle pattern. (Meaning a long term direction is yet determined.)
I expect price to break down to at least retest the low of the range and possibly the long term trend line that was previously reclaimed during April/May rally.
For added confluence Jeanius is displaying sideways movement in price for the daily and weekly charts. The month is still up.

NQ = September There are 4 candles which create 6 levels.
3 levels are found in Distribution Ranges. The other 3 found in Accumulation ranges.
A Range is 2 or more consecutive candles of the same color.
The first distribution candle in the range is referred to as the "BackSide" candle. This is because is it behind the FrontSide candle.
We mark the top of this candle (wick or body) with the horizontal ray tool,
color it based on the timeframe color code, label it BS for BackSide,
select the line type then organize it's visibility based on timeframe to keep chart scrolling neat. *part of mental analysis and have a clean chart, clean mind, clean desk while in the zone.
The last distribution candle in a range is the "FrontSide" candle. It contains the last two levels. We mark the top of the candle (wick or body) with the horizontal ray tool, label it FS for FrontSide, color it based on the timeframe color code, select the line type and timeframe visibility.
The SwingLow is marked with a horizontal ray tool on the bottom of the FrontSide candle. Mark the wick, not the body. These levels I only mark with solid lines because the represent the boundary of the range.
Once price gets inside a range, it likes to bounce inside of it, testing its fractal ranges on other timeframes. Sometimes we'll see a 4hr level bounce to a 4hr level. Othertime's price stops after a 4hr level at 1hr level (plus 1, minus 1 theory) maybe we'll see it this month.
Happy September
Futures - Commodities / Financial: Nasdaq case (MNQ)+ Strong overnight support zone / ask increasing in volume at the zone. Contrarian trade.
Standard approach:
Applying A+ setup, volume profile (high volume nodes, low volume nodes day and intra-day and possibly extended to swing probability), smart money concept, numerical volume buy/sell side. trend confirmation, tick charts.
NQ - Sept 2, 2025 - 11AMWere moving lower. Trend lines broke, strong selling overnight.
FUNDAMENTALS: ISM manufacturing came out weak, employment weak but prices were also lower which is a good sign for inflation. Thursday we will get ISM-Non manufacturing data & Friday we will get Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP). This should let us know if we get a rate cut in September.
TECHNICALS: Trend lines all broke, were slowly grinding lower. NVIDIA has been seeing some profit taking since the last earnings a few days ago. Levels to watch in NQ! will be 23,000 and if we can break that, than 22,775.
Good trading!

NQ – NFP Week Setup: Premium Distribution & Bearish IntentGoing into NFP week, the market is positioned in a premium array, trading above equilibrium. The recent attempt to push higher failed with a swing high left behind – an inducement that sets the tone. (a later target i would say)
We now have a buy-side rejection and displacement lower into sell side delivery. Price is hovering just up around equilibrium , with 2 inefficiencies overhead serving as potential rejection points.
I expect that the Bearish target will be taken close before or at NFP.
If Bullish target is taken first I would re-assess.
NQ & ES Premarket Comment 01-09-2025Good morning everyone, and happy new month,
We are currently trading in a discount zone, so I will be looking for long opportunities if price shows support at the key levels I have highlighted on the chart. If that support does not hold, I will remain on the sidelines — I will not be searching for shorts, as I do not feel comfortable with the current positioning of price.
📊 Possible Support Levels (S) and Possible Resistance Levels (R) have been marked on the chart to guide today’s trading outlook.
Wishing you all a successful trading session.

NQ - August 29, 2025 - Before the openThe trend is your friend in my opinion. Dips keep being bought.
PCE came out inline with expectations this morning. We sold off overnight but I expect this to be bought back. Were waiting for employment data next week to see what happens with the FED.
Good trading!
