Reversal Fakeout to Grab liquidity NQ1In this bullish continuation setup, big players (institutional traders, hedge funds, and market makers) are actively maneuvering around key levels. After price bounces from the Order Block area, these entities aim to manipulate liquidity by triggering stop-loss placements before continuing the trend. How They Operate: Stop-Hunting: Institutions know where retail traders place stops—often below key support or VWAP. They drive price lower to collect liquidity before pushing the market higher. Fakeout Moves: A sudden dip below VWAP or the Order Block might shake out weak hands before price aggressively resumes the bullish trend. Accumulation Before Expansion: Large players accumulate positions inside the Order Block area while creating an illusion of bearish pressure, trapping shorts before the next push up. Trade Psychology & Execution: Spot the Trap: If price dips unexpectedly, assess volume spikes—if liquidity is being swept without follow-through downside movement, it’s likely a stop-hunt. Hold Strong Levels: A bullish continuation may unfold after liquidity is collected, as institutions reclaim price above VWAP, fueling the next leg higher. Strategic Stop Placement: Avoid placing stops too close to obvious levels—consider wider stops below strong liquidity zones to survive manipulation tactics. The key takeaway? Smart money plays around liquidity zones, forcing weak hands out before driving price in the intended direction. Stay patient, analyze the setup, and position wisely to ride the bullish wave after the institutions have had their turn. Follow @GoldenZoneFX For more content and valuable insights.

This is a 4-hour chart of the NASDAQ 100 index (NQ1!). Analysis: Trend and Support: The chart shows an ascending trendline (black dashed line) acting as support, with the price recently bouncing off it around the 20,260 level. This suggests the uptrend remains intact for now. Price Action: The price has pulled back from a high near 21,500 ish and is currently consolidating around 21,000. The recent bounce off the trendline indicates potential buying interest at lower levels. Key Levels: Resistance Zone: The yellow shaded area between 21,200 and 21,550 is a resistance zone where the price previously struggled. Support Zone: The area around 20,800–20,900 (another yellow shaded area) may act as immediate support if the price dips again. Targets: T1 (20,813.50) and T2 (20,626.25) are marked as potential downside targets if the price breaks below the trendline. On the upside, breaking above 21,550 could target 21,800 (top of the resistance zone). Market Sentiment: The order book on the right shows the current ask at 21,531.25 and bid at 21,506.25, with a tight spread indicating decent liquidity. The price is slightly below the ask, suggesting some selling pressure or hesitation to break higher immediately. Potential Scenarios: Bullish: If the price holds above the trendline and breaks 21,400, it could rally toward 21,800 or higher. Bearish: A break below the trendline and 20,800 support could lead to a deeper pullback toward T1 (20,813.50) or T2 (20,626.25). Insight: The NASDAQ 100 is in an uptrend but facing resistance near 21,400. Watch for a breakout above this level for bullish confirmation or a break below the trendline for a bearish move. The 20,800–20,900 zone is a key support to monitor.

Aggressive Moves Around VWAP: The CatalystWhen NQ1 exhibits an aggressive move relative to the VWAP, it typically indicates that large players—such as institutionals and hedge funds—are taking notice. An aggressive break above the VWAP can signal strong bullish momentum, while an aggressive breakdown below it suggests equally forceful bearish pressure. In both instances, the intensity of the move often precedes a significant directional commitment from the market. The Critical Role of Pullback Confirmation However, the initial surge or drop isn’t enough on its own for a reliable signal. The true confirmation comes when the price pulls back to the VWAP. For instance: Bullish Scenario: After an aggressive upward breakout, if the price retests the VWAP and forms a solid bullish (green) candle, this pullback confirmation reinforces that the move is supported by institutional buying. It reassures traders that the upward momentum isn’t a false breakout, giving greater confidence in a long position. Bearish Scenario: Conversely, if the price aggressively falls below the VWAP and then pulls back to retest it—this time showing a strong bearish (red) candle—it signals that the downtrend is supported and genuine. The pullback confirmation filters out noise and helps avoid premature exits or entries. This "Break + Confirmation" setup is key to distinguishing between fleeting price fluctuations and sustainable trends in NQ1. What This Reaction Tells Us The way NQ1 reacts when nearing the VWAP is essential in shaping trade decisions: An aggressive move signals a readiness of the market to commit in one direction. A subsequent pullback and confirmation via a decisive candlestick pattern validates that initial move. This dual-phase validation offers a high-probability scenario because it not only captures the momentum but also ensures that the price level around the VWAP holds up as a pivot point. This approach helps to avoid false breakouts, ensuring that a directional bias—either long or short—is only taken once the market has clearly reasserted its intent through a retest phase. In Summary Observing how NQ1 reacts around the VWAP provides powerful clues about market sentiment: Breakout or Breakdown: Aggressive moves away from the VWAP indicate that market forces are strong. Retest Confirmation: A pullback to the VWAP with a confirming candle (green for bullish, red for bearish) is the reliable trigger for high-probability trading entries. Institutional Insight: These moves often mirror the actions of larger market players who are shaping the next leg of the trend. Ultimately, the strategy revolves around patiently waiting for both the aggressive move and the subsequent confirmation to align, thereby filtering out noise and solidifying a clear trade bias.

Poor executions on MNQ A little post for transparency, down -$225 for the day. Made some error trading mistakes. I should've just closed the charts and been content with my $60 profit. But I still learned a lot through staying on the charts and watching price. 10am candle not breaching its highs and failing to take it was a great indication that the candle wanted to target sell-side -- let my feelings get me a little excited today and that ended up resulting in losses. I will take the losses for today and check back in around 2pm and if not later today at 2pm, I'll be trading tomorrow morning NY session. Talk to you guys soon! Give a 🚀 if you found this insightful.

Nvidia Earnings Boost, Trade Tariffs Legitimacy, NQ trade ideaCME_MINI:NQ1! Big Picture Context: . NQ futures rallied after NVIDIA posted an earnings beat and after the Manhattan-based Court of International Trade blocked President Trump's Liberation Day tariffs. Goldman Sachs noted that the ruling on Liberation Day tariffs gives the administration 10 days to halt tariff collection, but does not affect sectoral tariffs. The administration can still impose across-the-board and country-specific tariffs under other legal authorities. Jobless claims and continuing claims have come in higher. What has the market done? The rally faded in the overnight session. However, the catalysts provided energy for prices to move higher. Currently, price is trading above the prior week’s high, yesterday’s high, and it is also trading above the yearly open, and 2025 VPOC and mcVPOC for the last 3 weeks. What is it trying to do? The market is negating the recent bear market territory sell-off and negating a bear market rally. It is propelling higher. How good of a job is it doing? The market has created good structure and micro composites, despite some gaps left open, and it has created higher lows since last Friday. What is more likely to happen from here? Scenario 1: Long Continuation In this scenario, we are looking for NQ to turn at the immediate 2025 LVN support area. If it edges higher, we will be looking for potential long opportunities above the 21710–21720 area, targeting overnight highs and potentially the next HVN. Scenario 2: Gap Close and Reversal In this scenario, we are looking for a pullback, testing pHi and pWk-Hi. We will look for a rounded base that consolidates here on a lower timeframe, such as the 5-minute timeframe, and look for a reversal back towards the 21710–21720 level. pWk-Hi: prior Week's High pHi: prior Day's High HVN: High Volume Node LNV: Low Volume Node VPOC: Volume Point of Control C: Composite (prefix before VAL, VAH, VPOC, VP, AVP) mC: micro-Composite (prefix before VAL, VAH, VPOC, VP, AVP)
