But that's OK since I am developing something and overall just expanding my knowledge - also gotta focus on the bulls obviously, since when I trade bearish identifying bullish movement and understanding it as well as I do twith the bears could help me making better decisions
NQ1! trade ideas
NQ1! 4H Technical SnapshotNQ1! 4H Technical Snapshot
NQ1! is currently consolidating within a symmetrical triangle formation on the 4-hour timeframe.
The price is testing the Fib Golden Level (50-61.8% retracement) along with the ascending trendline, which serves as immediate confluent support.
The descending trendline above has acted as resistance, limiting upside momentum and defining the upper boundary of this consolidation.
Should current support break, further downside targets include the 'Good Support' zone around 23,000-23,100, followed by the 'Key Support' area near 22,800-22,900.

$NQ_F $MNQ_F Trading Range for 9.2.25
Ok, so we are heading into tomorrow after the three day weekend a little bearish. Friday every candle printed red and the 35EMA is above us facing down so definitely look to that as resistance.
Nasdaq is more bearish than S&P, that 30min 200MA has already turned down so DEFINITELY note that level.
Volatility map on the right for tomorrow’s range. Let’s go, y’all. I have officially been converted into a futures trader so new regular ticker right here.
August 2025 pnl
This month I ran 3 algos on the micro futures (MES & MNQ).
Z-Score Strategies (MES + MNQ)
• 25 trades in total
• 60% win rate
• Net P/L: $294 after fees
→ These trades showed steady performance, leaning on consistency with solid risk/reward.
MNQ DVD Strategy
• 8 trades total
• 50% win rate
• Net P/L: $237 after fees
→ Fewer trades, but higher expectancy ($31 per trade) — when this one hits, it pays well.
📈 Takeaway:
The Z-Score setups gave more consistency, while the DVD algo added bigger pops per trade. Running them together balances steady gains with higher payoff opportunities.
NQ structure break down / bullish structure 4h time frame break down on NQ, respecting higher lows on the 4h signaling potential move towards all time high.
on the opposite bearish scenario, a 4h full body candle closing bellow 23,400 can signal a new lower low signaling a downtrend .
thank you for watching , let me know your thoughts
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 - Nasdaq Short Playbook for the next weeksIn the NQ, they took out the high and then hit it on the head day by day. It finally stopped below the 1/4 line. If you look closely, you see that this was the slanted zone of Support — just like the slanted Resistance.
"As above, so below."
...write me in the comments who said this already a couple hundred years ago §8-)
The small Modified Schiff Fork tells a story too.
Price reached the Center Line and got rejected. Now it's on its way down towards the small Fork's L-MLH. A break of it would indicate further selling ahead.
And the last bastion is the green support level, which stems from the second-to-last prior confirmed Swing Low.
Beyond this level, it's only a question of time before price hits the Center Line.
And — God forbid — below the Center Line, the Sh...t hits the fan. So you better run... behind price with a decent short trade and ride it down to the Abyss.
No worries, I'm with you §8-)
Happy Monday, folks!
#202535 - priceactiontds - weekly update - nasdaq e-miniGood Day and I hope you are well.
comment: Neutral. I see the current range from 22800 - 24069 and the middle of it is 23460ish and we closed right at it. Bears can argue a head & shoulders on the daily chart and bulls still have two decent bull trend lines going for them. I don’t think around 23500 you can have any edge. I’d like for this to not hit 24k again but the odds for that are low. Best to wait.
current market cycle: bull trend
key levels for next week: 22700 - 24100
bull case: Bulls got a new ath and the market is overdue for a pullback but that does not mean we will get one. Bulls are still in full control as long as they keep the market above 22800. Having said that, it’s overdone, overbought and we are likely at the peak of the bubble.
Invalidation is below 22780
bear case: Bears need to do more. Anything below 23000 would be a start. That would break both trend lines and opens the possibility for 22000 over the next weeks. For now I don’t think it’s good to sell around the midpoint of this triangle.
Invalidation is above 23800
short term: Neutral around 23500. Same as last week.
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 Bearish BiasNQ is consolidating below a key resistance after a strong selloff from recent highs.
Price failed to hold above 23,750 and is now building a lower-high structure under 23,550.
Unless buyers reclaim that zone, the path of least resistance looks lower with targets near 23,130–23,200.
