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!

Nq & Es After hours comment 27-08-2028 Good evening everyone,
As you can clearly see, the target has been achieved exactly as anticipated. Price dipped slightly, then provided solid long opportunities, and afterward rallied strongly to the upside.
See you all tomorrow here, shortly before the market open, for the daily outlook.
Wishing you a good evening.

Nq & Es Premarket Comment 27-08-2025Good morning everyone,
My overall bias remains bullish, and I will once again be looking for long opportunities, with the main target being the high I have highlighted on the chart.
We are currently in a premium zone, which means price may seek lower levels before continuing higher. If that happens, it could offer fresh opportunities to re-enter long positions. However, there is also the possibility that price may simply continue its upward rally without a deeper pullback.
Personally, I prefer to wait for the market open at 09:30 NY time and observe the initial reaction before making any trading decisions.
Despite intraday fluctuations, my broader expectation is for both indices to eventually push above their ATHs.
Wishing everyone a successful trading session.

NQ - August 27 - afternoonSince the Powell speech and rally on Friday the 22nd, the easier trade has remained to buy dips.
As we can see in image above we had broke below the longterm trendline and Friday brought us back above it.
And though we drifted below the trendline during the overnight session Monday, we've held above it and its been bought during the NY session everyday since, as seen below.
AFTER THE CLOSE: We have Nvidia earnings which will important for tomorrows trading session.
ECONOMIC CALENDAR: We have GDP tomorrow as well as PCE and Michigan consumer sentiment on Friday. I dont thing GDP will be very market moving but PCE will be quite important for inflation data, as that is what the FED uses. If Inflation is lower than expected and with Powell's most recent comments, its fair to assume a cut in September will be fully baked in.
Good trading! Wishing you all green PnL's :)
NASDAQ 100 TYRING TO CARVE OUR HEAD AND SHOULDERS TOP? Hey traders so today looking at Nasdaq 100 looking like it's trying to form a top. More importantly a Head & Shoulders Top.
For those new to trading and understanding technical analysis I highly recommend you learn chart formations like Head & Shoulders.
Technical Analysis is a little bit like art what one trader sees not all other traders will see. However if alot of traders see it then it is becoming more significant.
So basically you have a left shoulder formed at top of rally 23,847. Then you have head or highest peak formed at 24,100. Then you have a neckline formed at 22,758. Finally you have the right shoulder which has not been completed yet. If you read about the Head & Shoulders it normally has a 90% probability or being accurate.
So is the market topping out?
No one knows for sure but we do know that historically September and October are the worst months of the year seasonally for the stock market. This definetly shows that the bearish case is stronger.
Scenario Time
Bullish- knowing that seasonally the market could weaken in September and we are right around the corner I would say wait for the sell off and buy back in November.
Bearish- The way you trade the Head & Shoulders pattern is if the right shoulder completes then you wait for the market to break below the neckline under 22,775 and then place your sell order. Then you place a stop above the right shoulder after if forms.
COT- Commitment of Traders report still showing the funds are holding Long Positions and even somewhat crowded on the long side. But last week they closed some of them could this be a bearish sign closing long positions? Most likely yes but lets see what happens in tommorows report.
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 😃

Nq & Es After hours comment 25-08-2025Good evening everyone,
As you noticed, price did not reach the lower levels we were anticipating, and therefore no valid long opportunities were triggered. This was always a possible outcome, and it simply means that we missed a trade — something that is part of everyday trading.
I had mentioned that I was expecting a temporary move down, but at no point did I suggest looking for short opportunities. The reason is exactly what we saw today: price did not need to drop significantly before moving higher.
For tomorrow, there is still a chance of a temporary decline before the market continues to push upward.
See you here again tomorrow, before the market open.

#202534 - priceactiontds - weekly update - nasdaq futures Good Day and I hope you are well.
comment: Market stayed around the 50% retracement from the prior 2 weeks selling. Bears need to miracle to keep it below 23600 and go down again. Bulls want the measured move up which could lead to 24200 or more. We are in the middle of the range and I need strong momentum on Monday to join either side.
current market cycle: bull trend - peak bubble
key levels for next week: 22800 - 24100
bull case: Bulls want a new ath but I doubt they will get it without a better pullback. The move on Friday was strong enough to expect at least a second leg. Otherwise I am having a hard time finding arguments for the bulls. They printed a higher low, which still confirms the bull trend and bulls can argue it’s a two-legged pullback on the daily chart. Confirmation is only above 23600 and if so, I’d expect a quick move to 23800.
Invalidation is below 23400ish
bear case: Bears can argue the red bear trend line is still valid (see chart) and that we retraced about 50% of the two-week selling. If they can stay below 23600, small chance that we reverse and continue down to 23000 and make lower lows again. For now bears are not favored and around 23500 it’s best to do nothing.
Invalidation is above 23600
short term: Neutral around 23500. Can’t get much more out of the chart right now.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-08-10: 22000 likely to get hit this year gain. 20000 seems a bit much for 3 months left.

NQ Weekly Outlook | Aug 25–29, 2025Last week, buyers defended 23,067–23,150 and Powell’s speech fueled a massive short-covering rally, sending price right back to our macro pivot at 23,550. That level now defines the battleground.
🔹 Upside Roadmap:
23,550 = Weekly Pivot
Above → 23,700 (old breakout base)
23,850 minor extension
24,063 swing high
24,400+ final weekly upside target
🔹 Downside Roadmap:
23,335 first support
23,249 Thursday close
23,067 must-hold higher low
22,760 deeper downside
📌 Plan:
Hold above 23,550 = long bias into 23,700+.
Reject 23,550 and lose 23,335 = downside rotation.
💡 Discipline is key: trade the reaction at 23,550, not your prediction.
