Potential move based on ICT analysis for US100Agree or Disagree? Saw a lot of liquidity that the markets did not take out (1H SL). Break out of DAILY bullish trendline and the selling opportunity is starting to enter the room. This was not a fundamental analysis, so anything that goes against this analysis, is all independent on what happens in economic news
NAS100 trade ideas
WHY I THINK NASDAQ WOULD CONTINUE ITS BUYS
Big tech is still crushing earnings, AI plays are heating up, and the semis? Still running. Every dip lately is getting bought up fast, and that tells me one thing: smart money is still in the game.
We’ve got a potential rate cut on the horizon, inflation’s cooling off, and the market is pricing in more upside. Structure-wise, we’re seeing higher lows and breakouts across key levels.
Unless something major shakes the market, I’m staying bullish here. Momentum, fundamentals, and sentiment are all lining up. Buyers aren’t done — not even close.
ict conceptsTrading foreign currencies can be a challenging and potentially profitable opportunity for investors. However, before deciding to participate in the Forex market, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. Most importantly, do not invest money you cannot afford to lose.
There is considerable exposure to risk in any foreign exchange transaction. Any transaction involving currencies involves risks including, but not limited to, the potential for changing political and/or economic conditions that may substantially affect the price or liquidity of a currency. Investments in foreign exchange speculation may also be susceptible to sharp rises and falls as the relevant market values fluctuate. The leveraged nature of Forex trading means that any market movement will have an equally proportional effect on your deposited funds. This may work against you as well as for you. Not only may investors get back less than they invested, but in the case of higher risk strategies, investors may lose the entirety of their investment. It is for this reason that when speculating in such markets it is advisable to use only risk capital.
USNAS100 remains in a consolidation phase with a downside biasThe USNAS100 remains in a consolidation phase with a downside bias, following a slight price slip on Friday, as traders turned cautious ahead of the PCE inflation report — the Fed’s preferred gauge for inflation This Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) report, due pre-market, is highly anticipated and may play a pivotal role in shaping the Federal Reserve's September rate decision.
Price action remains below key resistance levels As long as the index fails to break above resistance, the bias remains bearish A downside break from consolidation could target 22,540 in the short term.

NAS100 UPDATE - BULLS or TRAP?Dear Friends in Trading,

Thank you for taking the time study my analysis.
US100 – London Session OutlookTrading Focus
The marked zones on the chart highlight areas where I look for small but quick intraday moves. There are two potential sell zones and two potential buy zones. If a zone breaks, I look for continuation trades on a retest of that same level.
This approach allows me to capture short, tactical opportunities with clear risk levels, while adapting quickly if price breaks structure.
Macro Update – Manufacturing Still Under Pressure
Yesterday, the ISM Manufacturing PMI was released. The August figure came in at 48.7%, a slight improvement from July’s 48.0%, yet still below the 50% threshold that signals expansion. This indicates that U.S. manufacturing remains in contraction for the sixth consecutive month, though the slower pace points to some early signs of stabilization. New orders climbed back above 50%, suggesting demand may be recovering, but production and employment both weakened, and prices remained elevated, underscoring persistent cost pressures. Overall, the sector is still under strain, showing only tentative signs of recovery.
Market Sentiment
Overall, market sentiment is cautious. The rebound in new orders provides a hint of optimism, but weak production, soft labor data, and sticky input costs keep investors on edge. Traders remain defensive, seeking confirmation before committing risk in what is still a fragile backdrop.
What’s Next – JOLTS Job Openings
Today, all eyes are on the JOLTS Job Openings report, a key gauge of U.S. labor market strength.
A higher reading signals tight labor conditions, keeping wage and inflation pressures high and limiting the Fed’s ability to cut rates.
A weaker reading suggests cooling demand for workers, supporting the case for easing.
This release has the potential to move markets quickly, adding another layer of volatility.
key levels for the nqIf the nq breaks 23362 we have enough information to wait for a shakeout and then enter. if it breaks 23210.7 we got to wait for a retracement and then a shakeout to sell. But, be aware that for sales the target should be more aggressive which means to cover on 23k, and just in case, we can leave a small portion of the position open but cover more than 70% because it might be the macro shakeout.
US 100 Buy-Stop, 4H/1D Close Above ResistanceUS 100 has closed above Resistance on 4 Hour and Daily Timeframe.
It is in Bullish Trend on Daily Timeframe. The trend is very likely to continue based on Technicals.
Moreover, it is likely that Federal Reserve will lower the interest rates in the Unied States. If that happens, financial markets will continue the upward trajectory. That however, is a long-term projection. Our trade setup here is just 1:1 but we can see more such trades in the future.

Explaining Fibonacci Retracement/Extension levelsThis video is designed to help teach you why I use the Fibonacci Defense levels as components of price action and how I use Fibonacci retracement/extension levels (related to previous market trends).
Remember, the three components of price action are TIME, PRICE, & ENERGY.
If you don't understand how price is structured before attempting to use Fibonacci concepts, it's almost like trying to throw darts blindfolded.
You must break down the previous trends in order to try to understand what is happening with current price trends (expansion/contraction/phases).
Watch this video and I hope it helps all of you understand what the markets are doing and how to use Fibonacci Retracement/Extension levels more efficiently.
All types of technical analysis are validation tools - not guarantees. The only thing we get out of technical analysis is a way to validate or invalidate our expectations. A or B. Nothing else.

NAS100 Long Setup | Demand Zone ReactionPrice action on NAS100 has pulled back into a key demand zone after sweeping liquidity below short-term support ($$$). This area also aligns with previous imbalance fills, suggesting buyers may look to defend it once again.
📊 Technical Outlook
Price swept liquidity under prior support and tapped into demand.
Long idea is valid with risk defined below demand zone.
If buyers hold this zone, upside continuation is likely toward the 23,500–23,700 region.
🌐 Market Sentiment
Seasonality Risk: September is historically the weakest month for U.S. equities, often marked by heightened volatility.
Investor Sentiment: Surveys show mixed outlook — Fear & Greed Index remains in “Greed” (64), while AAII still reports more bears than bulls.
Macro Headlines: Fed uncertainty, tariff rulings, and over-reliance on tech remain short-term risks.
⚖️ Summary
Technically, NAS100 is sitting in a prime buy zone — liquidity grab + demand reaction setup. However, fundamentals still suggest caution, as September volatility could trigger deeper sweeps before a meaningful rally.
👉 For me, it’s a buy from demand with controlled risk. If bulls defend, we could see momentum shift back upward.
💬 What do you think — will bulls hold this level, or will September’s volatility push NAS100 even lower?
