Trade ideas
NQ Red boxes are the last 3 days
then I marked the 4hr trends and levels in orange before the 1hr levels in yellow.
I finished off with 15min blue levels and 1 green 5min level cause it was so clear and backed by 4hr trends.
The last 15min support level looks too good to pass up. I wonder when it will be visited.
ATH RANGE TRADINGTODAYPlanning to trade the local range today, buy low sell high, it can be this easy. With luck it will break the pendant in the direction i am holding for the higher time frame trade.
Hopium is we rotate several more times in this range for distribution with a final big push up to squeeze shorts.

NQ UpdateMFI heading down but RSI is not. That's a sign of a melt up.
Really odd with that huge gap below. NFLX earnings don't mean much to futures aside from being 2.77% of the index. 5% drop for 2.77% of the index is 35 points. NQ is down 37 pts right now.
Market needs big news to drop. Not sure I see anything on the horizon until Trump talks to China next week. We'll see tomorrow.
Also, gap direction depends on what Europe does, not NFLX.
''...a barrow by the wide Hellespont.''"And some one shall one day say even of men that are yet to be,
as he saileth in his many-benched ship over the wine-dark sea:
'This is a barrow of a man that died in olden days, whom on a time
in the midst of his prowess the glorious Hector slew.' So shall some man say, and my glory shall never die."
As we knew from a prior post, Hector would win this rematch of an ancient duel on the Trojan plains. Hector, Prince of Troy, with his feet firmly set, appears to have slain Ajax - the human fortress, Ajax - the Monster Head & Shoulders.

Are we out of this Bloody Battlefield once and for all? I don't know. Many who know far more than I predict the markets will continue to chop and at some point, toward year's end and throughout 2026 will continue higher. There are others that see a looming recession.
One thing we do know for sure - we can clearly see Support and Resistance, VPOCs and Prior VPOCs, Cups and their Handles and Buy the Dip areas.
And we have several trade plans that work in a bull market.
Our Strong Support for the time being has moved higher.
"...the glorious Hector" has a new plain upon which to firmly set his feet and do battle.
NQ is a mess todayOvernight the NQ broke the range and back tested. PA looks bullish but still not interested in longs outside of scalps opps that may happen. Heave Vol for current range is at 24919, and will be waiting to short a loss of that.
On the Volume profile there are untapped previous day above and below. Above is from the massive dump day last week and is mostly filled, not to interested in that since it will be the wall of worry to climb. Below is from Friday and could provide an 80% trade, should be easily able to catch 100pts there.
NQ & ES Premarket Comment Tuesday 21-10-2025We’re currently trading in a zone where long setups are off the table, even if some appear to form. Unless clear short opportunities emerge, we’ll stay completely out of the market — because this is what builds discipline and consistency, the core pillars of longevity in this industry.
After the market open, we’ll be patiently waiting to identify strong resistance levels and potential SMT reversal signals before taking any engagement.

NASDAQ 100 E-mini Futures (NQ1!) – 4H OutlookPrice action has shown a strong recovery from recent lows, breaking above the previous structure and retesting key support. I’ll be looking for a buy opportunity on a clean break and retest of the red resistance zone (around 25,150–25,270).
If the level holds as new support, the next bullish target lies at the black resistance level near 26,100–26,200, which aligns with the higher-timeframe supply zone.
A failure to hold the red zone could invalidate the setup and shift focus back toward the lower liquidity area near 24,700.
Bias: Bullish continuation on confirmed retest
Entry: Break and retest of 25,150–25,270
Target: 26,100–26,200
Invalidation: Below 25,000

Support and ResistanceChoppy markets make messy charts. This is my usual S/R chart. The focus at the moment is the 10/07 prior vpoc. Right now, it is holding up as support. More or less clear sailing to the 25315 vpoc. Everything on here is a support/resistance - BTD areas, vpocs, prior vpocs, pivots, prior day close. Many are predicting choppy markets to continue for a while.
An arsenal of A Pawn for a King trades, Buy the Dip trades, and Pivot trades shine in both a slow grinding up market and in a choppy market.
NQ Rejection Setup @ 24,550 | Strong Support Formed on D-ProfileThe NQ formed a D-shaped Volume Profile on Friday, signaling temporary balance between buyers and sellers. A strong rejection of lower prices created a significant volume cluster and a Fair Value Gap at 24,550. I’m watching for a pullback to this level for a potential long entry.
