NQ Short (05-05-25)

April 21 Post is at upper Target, looking for drop here after the most likely Monday lift to stall out. NAZ is still inside the Insignificant Range of Noise.
4/21/25 Chart
snapshot
Note
New TLX's, 20,116 above current price and lower are 19,189 & 18,253
snapshot
Note
Break or drop test under 860 should try 350. Prior run up from recent U Turn is most likely a drop offset to which may be a decent drop/retest. Plus, FED Day this week, this one may head South as opposed the usual Rocket Pop. Good Luck this week, I am on auto pilot.
snapshot
Note
Rejection at TLX 116, needs to stay under during Magic Dead Zone. Or to the Moon with the Tweets & Tricks.
snapshot
Note
Today we are looking for the struggling to get lower to turn fade away, let the price action be free.
snapshot
Note
116 is rejecting, trading has become as slow as watching paint dry unless you Go Long. When that happens, usually the Short side will balance it out with a quick deep drop test. Pop above 116 stall out should do, if so.

Adding Short

Note
This should be last garbage lift attempt, let it rip.
snapshot
Note
Bunker needs to Close the Deal or pain is on the way.
snapshot
Trade closed manually
Lift up over past week or so will give Fed room for its drop.

5/6 Update, You can see how the Close and O/N was used to move NAZ Up on the way up and looking for the same on the way back down with Reg Session adding some heavier selling (including in the Dead Zone). Trading is like a bad cartoon these days.

Good Luck today I will be out and still sitting on Short Cruise Control. It will be interesting to see how the slow flat reg session price action gets treated today. Should it get pushed up, look for stall out drops until it breaks lower. Watch KL 19,680 should we get lower.
snapshot
Note
I was just looking at other Authors on TV for trade/calls and see none. Not sure that a Post that is not actually updated is useful as the daily Tricks unfold. Anyway, today may be the one that just stays 1 way, we shall see.
Note
NDX update
snapshot
Note
Bonce off 750, expected.
snapshot
Note
No Dead Zone lift today is Bearish into tomorrow. Stay Short, back to TLX 116 otherwise.
Note
Canada for sale and up, mention no deal with China and back lower. The China deal is the market mover and other Noise is just Noise. NAZ will need to break out, upper/lower. Expect every move to try and hold it here or move it higher.
snapshot
Note
2 week comment will shake the markets up. Careful on the Long side during the next 2 weeks. Appears to be rambling speak at this point.
Note
5/7 Update, Fed Day go flat or use a stop if you are Short as the knee jerks up may happen 1st. Anyway, the drop yesterday did fizzle out in Dead Zone with a nice O/N readjustment push back up. Like I said, they will use every opportunity in off sessions, dead zone or any Gov't supplied news to stabilize (especially after a drop day).
snapshot
Note
Staying with the following. Just feel that the recent lift after the "insider trading" 15 minute rig move will fizzle out and get retested and why do the off session tricks continue? Good Luck today, Go Fed, BTD/FOMO Forever.
snapshot
Note
Below is the 7 minute lift at O/N open that appears to be the only gains. Just pointing out the trick pattern price action in the Overnight. It is as if the Long redirects are pulling in the investors to that side, the direction switch to Short would be a major curveball at this point. Anyway, we are still inside the insignificant range that I mentioned in prior Post.
snapshot
Note
NAZ playing in the range, needs to break out.

Air Pocket Hook Short

Note
Scalp or Trail

Note
Reg Session may be the Boss today.
snapshot
Note
This may be the Curveball is was mentioning, we will see.
Note
Watch 635 U Turn if Short.
snapshot
Note
KL 700 did hold on 1st hit.
snapshot
Note
Powell sounds unsure of his words. Not normal.
Note
Staying with Short under KL 116, not buying the idea of true strength.
snapshot
Note
Very narrow Fed Day, this is just the norm and is in line with strange PA. Break out of range is next signal, NTZ from 750 - 116
Note
You can see why this 8 minute move was so important to offset the drop and keep it above the sell orders below. This is what to expect in the O/N.
snapshot
Note
300 point Tweet about Chips, crazy but it is what it is. Expect any trick to the upside is the current game.
snapshot
Note
5/8 Update, Once again ALL Overnight after the Reg Session lower move or price action. NAZ did take the U Turn move off KL 700-750, use the Close Tweet (300 point pop) into the O/N and let the O/N magic lift take it up. Chart below is play's today and I guess it does not matter what the Reg Session does as the Overnight or off sessions will just redirect any drops that may happen. Friday-Monday Long move is next unless a Black Swan shows up to clean out all the Rigged moves. Something MAJOR (only) will take this down, this goes back to the constant Long redirects that pull you in. The counter to all this will happen and always does (in my years oy experience). I am Hedge on Shorts but still more Short than Long at this time.
snapshot
Note
Below are the two 300 point redirects that kept the NAZ up and away from the Sell orders below. These then had the O/N do its thing into Open. Just know that two separate 5-10 minute moves held up the NAZ and without these we would be out of Channel and triggering sell orders.
snapshot
Note
NDX Update will now Gap Up and out of circle
snapshot
Note
Bigger Picture is still in Insignificant Range of Noise. The next 3 days will be the FINAL move above or below the TOP. I would expect Head Fake Longs and some drop tests lower that eventually trap the Longs.
snapshot
Note
Pump/Dump Diablo day?
snapshot
Note
Needs to stay under 116
snapshot
Note
Expect a Tweet
snapshot
Note
Should continue to head South, may retest 116 again or sideways to O/N
snapshot
Note
Here we go and the stall out is the next move lower or back toward 20,300
snapshot
Note
Air Pocket developing and we are looking Long should this not pop. Friday-Monday O/N Long to the Moon or AP bust to drop. Next 3 days are huge.
snapshot
Note
AP is air pocket and filling in. Such a big deal you would think the markets would fly to the Moon by now.
snapshot
Note
Super high Ticks and the reverse may come when they drop.
snapshot
Note
Adding SHORT at 20,300
Note
20,695 is upper target on Long and Lower circles are the Short targets as the NAZ will have to quick drop lower or struggle to get lower. Just looking for a Drop Test here 1st.
snapshot
Note
Trading on The Edge here, may be aggressive with this momentum. View prior O/N trick rigging as the weak link with the price level here.
snapshot
Note
Curveball may be that today is Friday's typical play with Friday starting the descend into the weekend and lower Gap Open on Monday. Feel a Gap Open lower play is due as the Longs will be trapped in with the Gap, helping the Shorts. Need to see some tricks on the Short side, eventually. We shall see, if not then Long it is. KL 341 is rejecting for now.
snapshot
Note
Watch for the outside day reversal her should NAZ try for 19,679. Unlikely.
snapshot
Note
Big move about now. Up or lower.
snapshot
Note
Adding to the Short at 320, why not this one will have a stop at 350
Note
Has to move lower or back up in Magic O/N.
snapshot
Note
Notice the Tax Hike news at the time the NAZ fell 70 points. 320 short is at 250 now.
Note
180 now, needs to get under 116
snapshot
Note
Run Forrest Run
snapshot
Note
O/N lift or Not, we shall see. Garbage Price Action my friends.
Note
NDX Update, new Post for Friday-Monday Rig Play.
