Last week NQ ran out its external range high.
Tuesday ran out Monday (check 4h) high and low and closed bearish.
On the 4h and 1h, we have a cisd to the downside. Paired with ES smt at the highs (check 1h). Measure the manipulation leg on the 1h for STD extensions and targets align with daily fvg. This is giving me evidence of a possible short term retracement delivery cycle in price. We could see Wednesday offer a continuation lower.
What I would need to see to confirm shorts:
If Asia and London initially trade higher above new day and midnight opening price, then the intraday framework is setting up for a classic sell day. This is ideal for shorts. Either NY Continuation or NY Reversal daily profile is what I'm hunting. I need to see a 15m cisd. That would confirm the daily profile.
If Asia and London trade lower first, then conditions are not ideal for intraday framework I'm looking for and need to be cautious of shorts.
If Asia and London consolidate, then I will wait for the external range to be swept during NY session. A 15m cisd will confirm direction after sweep on liquidity and I will target opposing liquidity.
If 4h fvg is closed though, that confirms ifvg and shorts will no longer be consider.
