"Get Up Offa That Thing"James Brown 1976 Funk Get up offa the shutdown. Get up offa the dance floor. Today's Dance Floor is 25510. Hmmm...What's happening? He thought we would have seen a much bigger bounce last night when the shutdown ended. Today's key landmarks are clearly seen. Buy the Dips ***Wait for a bounce ***He simply waits for a Bullish white candle. ***Then he looks for a bit of support, your choice, whatever you are comfortable with. ***In 5-point increments from there to the low of the bounce he buys 1 MNQ ***Each entry has a 21-point target. If you are more conservative, tailor it to your trading style. He especially likes a White Bull preceded by an Exhaustion Candle @ a Prior Day Close. No stops allowed. Sometimes the Px falls through the floor. Keep some dry powder for that event. Repeat the process for the next BTD area. This plan is a $$$ maker. Don't forget Breakouts, A Pawn for a King, Pivots & Jokers.

NQ - 15min chart 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.

OPEC and Global Market Stability1. The Role and Objectives of OPEC OPEC’s primary objective is to achieve stable oil prices in international markets while ensuring a fair return on investment for producing nations and a steady supply for consuming countries. To maintain balance, OPEC regulates oil production among its member nations, aligning supply with demand. Market stability is central to OPEC’s philosophy. Volatility in oil prices—whether due to oversupply, underproduction, or external shocks—can harm both producers and consumers. For producers, low prices reduce revenue and strain national budgets; for consumers, excessively high prices trigger inflation and economic slowdowns. Thus, OPEC’s interventions are designed to prevent extreme price swings and promote predictability in global markets. 2. Mechanisms for Market Stability OPEC uses a combination of strategies to achieve stability in the oil market: a. Production Quotas: The most significant tool is the allocation of production targets among member states. During times of excess supply, OPEC cuts output to prevent price declines; when demand rises or prices surge too high, it increases production. This mechanism acts as a balancing lever in the market. b. Monitoring and Market Analysis: OPEC maintains a highly sophisticated system of data collection and analysis. Through the OPEC Secretariat in Vienna, the organization constantly monitors global economic trends, oil inventories, demand projections, and supply disruptions. This allows OPEC to make informed decisions that align with global economic realities. c. Cooperation with Non-OPEC Producers: In recent years, OPEC has expanded its influence by forming alliances with non-member oil-producing countries, such as Russia, Mexico, and Kazakhstan. This collaboration, known as OPEC+, was formalized in 2016. The OPEC+ framework enhances OPEC’s control over the global oil supply, making it easier to stabilize prices in times of volatility. 3. OPEC’s Historical Impact on Market Stability Since its inception, OPEC’s policies have shaped the evolution of global oil markets. a. The 1970s Oil Crises: During the early 1970s, OPEC gained significant power by using oil as a political and economic tool. The 1973 oil embargo, in response to Western support for Israel during the Yom Kippur War, caused prices to quadruple. Although disruptive, it demonstrated OPEC’s ability to influence global energy markets and highlighted the importance of energy security for consuming nations. b. The 1980s Oil Glut: In the early 1980s, technological advancements and overproduction led to a sharp fall in prices. OPEC responded by reducing output quotas, attempting to balance the market. However, disagreements among members limited effectiveness, underscoring the challenge of enforcing collective discipline. c. The 2000s Oil Boom: Rapid industrialization in China and India fueled a massive surge in global demand, leading to record-high oil prices. OPEC managed this period by gradually increasing production while maintaining relative market stability. d. The 2020 COVID-19 Shock: Perhaps the most dramatic test of OPEC’s stabilizing role occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic. In April 2020, global oil demand collapsed as travel and industrial activity halted. Prices even turned negative for a brief period. OPEC+, led by Saudi Arabia and Russia, implemented historic production cuts of nearly 10 million barrels per day to restore equilibrium. Within months, markets began recovering, showcasing OPEC’s ability to stabilize a crisis-driven market. 4. Challenges to OPEC’s Market Stability Mission Despite its influence, OPEC faces multiple challenges in maintaining stability in today’s rapidly changing energy environment. a. Internal Disagreements: OPEC’s strength depends on collective compliance. Differences in economic needs, production capacities, and political agendas among member states often cause disputes. For instance, nations like Saudi Arabia prefer conservative production strategies, while others like Iran or Nigeria may push for higher output to meet domestic financial obligations. b. Competition from Non-OPEC Producers: The rise of shale oil production, particularly in the United States, has reduced OPEC’s market dominance. Shale oil’s flexibility—its ability to ramp up production quickly when prices rise—has weakened OPEC’s control over global supply dynamics. c. Energy Transition and Climate Policies: As the world shifts toward renewable energy and decarbonization, the long-term demand for oil may decline. This transition poses strategic challenges for OPEC, as it must adapt to a market where oil is no longer the primary source of energy. Balancing environmental commitments with economic survival remains a delicate task. d. Geopolitical Tensions: Many OPEC members are located in politically volatile regions. Conflicts in the Middle East, sanctions on countries like Iran and Venezuela, and regional rivalries can disrupt production and weaken the organization’s cohesion. 5. OPEC’s Modern Strategies for Stability In response to evolving challenges, OPEC has refined its approach to market stability. a. The OPEC+ Alliance: The OPEC+ coalition has been a major innovation in global oil diplomacy. By bringing non-member producers into coordinated production agreements, OPEC has extended its reach beyond traditional boundaries. This broader coalition enhances the group’s capacity to respond to market shocks and maintain price stability. b. Flexible Policy Frameworks: OPEC now adopts a more flexible and data-driven approach. Instead of rigid annual quotas, it meets regularly to adjust policies based on real-time data. This agility allows quicker responses to demand changes, such as post-pandemic recovery or geopolitical disruptions. c. Investment in Energy Technology: Some OPEC members are diversifying their economies by investing in renewable energy, hydrogen, and carbon capture technologies. For example, Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 plan aims to reduce dependence on oil revenues and strengthen economic resilience. This diversification supports long-term market stability by mitigating risks from oil dependency. 6. OPEC’s Economic and Geopolitical Influence OPEC’s role extends beyond oil markets—it significantly impacts global macroeconomic stability and international relations. When OPEC successfully stabilizes prices, both producers and consumers benefit. Predictable oil prices allow governments to plan budgets, encourage investment, and maintain economic growth. Conversely, instability often leads to inflation, currency fluctuations, and trade imbalances. Geopolitically, OPEC serves as a platform for dialogue between member nations, fostering cooperation in an otherwise fragmented global environment. Its coordination with non-OPEC producers has also strengthened diplomatic ties across continents. 7. The Future of OPEC and Market Stability Looking ahead, OPEC’s relevance will depend on how effectively it adapts to a transforming global energy landscape. The push for carbon neutrality, electric vehicles, and renewable alternatives poses both threats and opportunities. While demand for oil may plateau in the coming decades, OPEC can continue to play a stabilizing role by ensuring orderly transitions in the energy market. Future stability will likely involve balancing oil production with global sustainability goals, supporting cleaner technologies, and maintaining dialogue with both producers and consumers. 8. Conclusion OPEC has been, and continues to be, a cornerstone of global market stability. Through production management, international cooperation, and adaptive policymaking, it has guided the oil market through crises, booms, and transitions. While challenges such as energy diversification, internal discord, and environmental policies loom large, OPEC’s experience and coordination capacity position it as a key player in shaping the future of global energy stability. In essence, OPEC’s success in stabilizing markets lies not only in controlling oil output but in balancing the complex intersection of economics, politics, and sustainability in a world increasingly conscious of both energy security and environmental responsibility.

Elliott Wave Analysis of Nasdaq (NQ) Forecasts New All Time HighThe bullish cycle in the Nasdaq (NQ) that commenced from the April 2025 low remains underway, unfolding as an impulsive Elliott Wave structure. Within this broader advance, wave (3) of the eight-month rally concluded at 26,399. The subsequent corrective phase, wave (4), developed as a double three structure. This is an Elliott Wave pattern characterized by a combination of corrective sequences. From the peak of wave (3), wave ((a)) declined to 25,853, followed by a rebound in wave ((b)) that reached 26,274. The final leg of the correction, wave ((c)), extended lower to 25,282, thereby completing wave W of a higher degree. A subsequent rally in wave X peaked at 25,880 before the index turned lower once more in wave Y, which has taken the form of a zigzag. Within wave Y, wave ((a)) declined to 25,162, followed by a corrective bounce in wave ((b)) to 25,354.75. The final leg, wave ((c)), dropped to 24,707.1, marking the completion of wave Y of (4). From this low, the index has resumed its upward trajectory in wave (5). Advancing from wave (4), wave ((i)) topped at 25,768.75, and the pullback in wave ((ii)) found support at 25,478.50. Provided the pivot at 24,707.1 remains intact, the near-term outlook favors further upside continuation in wave (5)

NASDAQ-100 4H: demand is not gone, only waiting for the priceAfter the recent upward impulse, the price retraced into the key demand zone at 25 350–25 208, an area that has repeatedly triggered buying reactions in the past. T he latest correction pushed the price into the 0.79–0.705 Fibonacci range, which frequently acts as a retest zone before continuation. Below that lies an even stronger demand zone at 24 710–24 381, aligning with the 0.5 Fibonacci level and previous volume accumulation. The trading logic here is simple: don’t chase the move, let the price come to demand and wait for confirmation. As long as the market structure holds, the primary scenario remains bullish from demand zones with a target toward 26 360 and potentially higher. Fundamentally, NASDAQ remains supported by expectations of softer Fed policy, strong tech capital inflows, and continued investment in AI, cloud, and data-center infrastructure. Smart money accumulates on corrections, not on peaks. When price falls into demand, it’s not fear — it’s opportunity.

NQ Daily Outlook | November 12th, 2025Most likely direction: Up (bullish) Why: Trend is still up on my read of structure. NY session pulled back deeper than expected and slipped under the black 50 EMA. I see it as a correction within the trend. I expect price to reclaim and trade back above the EMAs and continue higher. Scenarios: Preferred — Reclaim and continue: We push back above the EMAs, they curl up, and we get a break of structure to the upside. I’ll look to join on the first clean impulse → shallow correction → continuation above the EMAs. Retest then go: We dip a bit more, hold a higher low, then reclaim the EMAs. Once BOS up prints and EMAs fan upward, I lean long again. Bear alt: We stay trapped under the 50 EMA, fast EMAs roll over, and we print a BOS down (lower low). If that happens, I step back or treat it as range-to-down for the day. Bias: Bullish while we can reclaim and hold above the EMAs with upside BOS. If EMAs stay above price and structure flips down, I’ll pause the long idea.

Ode to Joy Jr.Buy the Dips worked well. He always waits for a bounce in a BTD area (accumulation/distribution area). He buys 1 MNQ in 5-point intervals. Every target is 21 points. His first entry was 610 and his bottom entry was 490. He has entered NQ Breakouts. First entry at 620 and every 20 points thereafter. 19-point target per entry. If you prefer The MNQ Ladder of success you may buy 1 or more contracts every 5 points. 19-point target per entry. If you prefer 1 or more contracts every 10 points. Ode to Joy Jr. because I think the original may have been taken down by the moderators.

NQ = NAS100Elite Strategy NASDAQ (MNQ/NQ) – Multi-Timeframe Analysis Price tapped into the 45-minute imbalance inside a 4H premium zone. The overall structure remains bearish, and the reaction confirms sellers defending this level. Expecting continuation toward 25,300 and possibly 25,000 as the next liquidity zones. Key confluence: 4H bearish structure + 45m FVG + liquidity grab on 5m. 📊 Educational analysis — not financial advice. ------- Higher-Timeframe Context (4H Chart) 🔹 Overview The 4H chart shows a clear bearish structure: lower highs and lower lows. Price dropped aggressively from the 26,300–26,400 supply zone (blue). The market then found strong demand at 24,800–25,000 (blue + gray confluence zone). Current price is reacting to a 45-minute fair value gap (FVG) marked in red, sitting inside a bearish 4H imbalance. 🔹 Implications The FVG at 25,550–25,600 represents a premium retracement level in a bearish leg. This area is optimal for short-position entries as price taps into unmitigated imbalance. Expectation: rejection → continuation toward 25,300 or lower, targeting the demand zone (24,900–25,000). _______ Lower-Timeframe Confirmation (5-Minute Chart) 🔹 What’s happening now Price just filled the 45-minute gap and reached the same supply zone. Microstructure shows a slowdown + rejection wick from the red zone. Potential entry trigger for short bias around 25,555–25,590. Targets: 1st TP: 25,400 (internal liquidity) 2nd TP: 25,300 (structural low) Stop-loss above 25,595 (above FVG). 🔹 Confluence 4H + 5M both align: bearish reaction at premium zone. The liquidity buildup under 25,400 acts as the next target area.
