NASDAQ Futures NQM: Bullish Rally Encounters Potential ReversalToday's market action on NASDAQ Futures (NQM) provided quite a spectacle, as we witnessed an impressive pump that led to a new Higher High at 13683. With limited levels of resistance left in the upper echelons at 13817 and 13995, it appears we're running out of targets on the upside. Additionally, the VIX index is down, pointing to a relatively calm market environment.
However, it's crucial to note the emergence of several potential reversal signals. While the market has been propelling upwards, the MACD recently crossed below the signal line, displaying a bearish divergence as it forms a downtrend. This bearish divergence could potentially be signaling a weakening of the bullish momentum.
Moreover, the STOCHRSI reached a high of 97 before starting to turn around earlier today (5/18/23) at 7:30 and continuing downwards at the market open. This, too, could be signaling a possible cooling down of the overheated bullish trend.
In the scenario of a downturn, the key support levels to watch are 13610, 14554, 13505, and 13475.
Given these observations, today's trading strategy should be approached with caution. Although the bullish trend remains dominant, the emerging bearish signals suggest potential for a reversal. Therefore, vigilant monitoring of these critical technical indicators and support levels will be crucial.
In conclusion, although the NASDAQ Futures NQM continues to push higher, we are now observing significant signs of potential bearish divergence. This calls for heightened attention and careful navigation of trading strategies. As always, keep a close watch on market trends and adjust your strategy as necessary.

Market Reversal Fueled by Biden's Positive Remarks on US - NQM In today's trading scenario, we witnessed a fascinating turn of events. The market initially opened with a downward wick, touching the previous day's closing level and the London session's support. However, the tide swiftly turned, largely attributed to President Biden expressing positive sentiments about the avoidance of the US debt ceiling. This optimism sparked a notable shift in market sentiment.
The levels I outlined at the open were as follows:
Downside: 13505, 13483, 13460, 13430
Upside: 13540, 13575, 13600, potentially reaching as high as 13660.
These levels served as significant benchmarks for today's trading. The upside, though, ventures into somewhat uncharted territory as we have not tested these areas since the highs of August 2022. As we tread these waters, it's crucial to remain vigilant and adaptable to the market's responses to macroeconomic news and global sentiment.
Stay tuned as we continue to track the market's reaction to these crucial levels, and navigate our trading strategies accordingly.
