NQ Range (05-12-25)

464
Looks like it is "Rig in May and go Away". New range to watch would be the white arrow zone between the two orange TL's. The Channel below is a 2 standard deviation, NAZ should return to 19,750-18,750 at some point to retest. Looking for 21,256 to be next upper target for reaction. Flat NAZ YTD may do what, Run up 10-20%? or drop retest lower? Pick one. O/N group and Washington Street are very much in control here.
Note
Air Pocket set up for O/N to Reg Session Pump/Dump or to the Moon we go.

Note
Previous Channel Chart with coast to coast Current O/N Rig Gap Pop to Upper Channel. Buy the News and sell Open Drive, then back to Buy the Dead Zone into Overnight. Keep this pattern until one day the Reg Session Open Drive does not U Turn back up. Should be this easy and watch the Tweets when the NAZ stalls or struggles to lift up.
snapshot
Note
Below will show the 1st and 2nd moves that make up much bon the run up from low. The 1st is the 15 minute or so "time to buy" pop from Washington Street Tweet and 2nd is the Overnight China deal move. The gap in the middle would be the retest zone and is in line with lower Orange TL. Sometimes where is not as important as how an index got a level, this one has some stink on it.
snapshot
Note
2nd move lower under 256, Short it is. Not expecting much out of Reg Session today. This is a huge 2nd half of a Friday-Monday Long play and may be the Grand Finally. We Shall see.

Note
Watch 20,600 and above
snapshot
Note
NDX major Gap, this gap should get filled.
snapshot
Note
Play the channel this week
snapshot
Note
KL 695 bounce and stall out under 265 should go sideways or drop. O/N is next play higher and then Tuesday pull back.
snapshot
Note
Below is the S/P 500 index with 2 major "Air Pockets" on the way up. These will be retested eventually or 4,800 is next on drop test. You can see the majority of the spike up has the huge 15M move and is part of the AP concern. How is more important than where at this level.
snapshot
Note
Off Session strength continues to control as Reg Sessions just go lower or sideways. Need to see a breakout higher during a Reg Session this week.
snapshot
Note
AP will need to fill in or it may drop.
snapshot
Note
Look for rejection at Channel Top or the NAZ to ride the channel for test at 256 and reaction should it not drop here.
O/N lift next and if not it should drop.
snapshot
Trade closed manually
Only real play will be to Scalp Shorts in key trading time zone like the Open or with any stalling. Looking for a drop here to Scalp Short 20,700 target and taking off on hold. 250 point either direction move here. Will keep doing that until one lower move picks ups strength. The reverse Longs are also available, favor the drop retest based off recent off session moves and games.
snapshot
Note
Wanted to point out the 26m 350 point Rig move at 2am to 2:30, these are the moves that usually get retested.
snapshot
Note
IDS Scalper, use IDS75 and the 3 lines are scalp targets. Hit pass, let go, hit and pop cover short or reverse
snapshot
Note
Longtime Follower's, I will not be posting as much when I Scalp. The suggestion would be to use IDS75, parameters below and work well, back test it.
Use Range Bar 75 with:
_CM_Ult_MA_MTF_V4 (, 500, close, 0, EMA, 0.4, , 200, close, 0, EMA, 1.3, 2, 1, 1, 50)
VWMA (75, close, 0)
_CM_Ult_MA_MTF_V4 (, 200, close, 0, EMA, 0.4, , 200, close, 0, EMA, 1.3, 2, 1, 1, 50)

Looks like this and scalp too and from MA's
