The Index resumed lower in wave 3 towards 21311 and rally in wave 4 ended at 21697.75. Final leg wave 5 lower ended at 21006.5 which completed wave (A).

Analysis for Nasdaq, Oil, and GoldNasdaq
The Nasdaq closed lower due to disappointment following Nvidia's new product announcement. On the daily chart, the MACD failed to converge with the Signal line, turning downward, and strong selling pressure emerged. If the weekly chart shows a candle with an upper wick breaking below the 10-day moving average, a dead cross on the MACD is likely. On the daily chart, the index has found support twice at the 60-day moving average. However, if it breaks below this level during the current selling wave, there’s potential for further declines toward the monthly 5-day moving average at 20,880.
The 240-minute chart has triggered a sell signal around the MACD zero line, indicating the possibility of steep declines if selling continues. The Nasdaq is currently forming a pattern of lower highs, favoring sell-side strategies. However, with Friday's non-farm payroll data approaching, pre-market movement may remain range-bound.
Oil
Oil closed higher, finding support at the 5-day moving average. Although it hasn’t pulled back to the 3-week moving average on the weekly chart, continued gains this week could result in a candlestick pattern that reflects support at this level. Strong buying momentum persists on the daily chart, making buy-side strategies advantageous. Selling opportunities may arise if oil challenges the previous high at $76.
The steep divergence between current prices and daily moving averages suggests the need for some price or time correction to bring the moving averages closer. On the 240-minute chart, a sell signal emerged but was followed by a short-term rebound. Given the divergence and angles of the MACD and Signal lines, an immediate breakout to the upside seems unlikely. If prices rise but the MACD fails to form a golden cross, a pullback is likely. Avoid chasing the rally; instead, focus on buying dips at key levels and selling at highs.
Gold
Gold closed higher with an upper wick, showing significant volatility following economic data releases. On the daily chart, gold continues to consolidate within a range. As Friday’s non-farm payroll data approaches, further consolidation is likely, so avoid chasing buying at highs or selling at lows. The MACD and Signal lines on the daily chart show minimal divergence, indicating a range-bound movement.
On the 240-minute chart, another buy signal has appeared, but given the upcoming data releases, it’s more practical to approach this as part of a range-bound strategy rather than expecting a breakout. Exercise caution and focus on range-trading until clearer trends emerge.

NAS 100 LongApproaching the lower bound of its daily volatility adjusted trading range. VIX remains under 19, macro continues to indicate accelerating inflation and growth as the commodity complex shows several recent changes in trend such as oil from bearish to bullish. In any case based on these factors along with the technicals and wave pattern this appears a decent point to take a long position in anticipation of new highs to come.
NQ LongWe are in a Bullish Weekly Profile with FOMC and unemployment news release on Wednesday
Monday made a high, Tuesday took out the Lows, Wednesday should now reclaim the high printed by Monday with News pushing prices higher.
Price has reacted off the 4H OB
5m timeframe now needs to make a CISD as we've already got a Breaker Block formed on the LTF.
Targets are Monday High.
| NASDAQ | Weekly outlook for NFP week.This week is active in terms of volatility, with JOLTS today at 10 AM, Unemployment Claims + FOMC tomorrow, and NFP on Friday.
The price shows a Market Maker Buy model framework on the daily chart, combined with a weekly distribution framework.
I would like to see a run at the liquidity generated by yesterday's economic news driver, although there is SMT divergence with ES! so it might not happen.
My ultimate target for the coming weeks is to visit the all-time high (ATH).
In the short term, the targets are yesterday's high and the high of the original consolidation of the MMBM framework on the daily chart.

$NQ MMBMAs mentioned at the beginning of the week, our DOL targets are being hit one by one. Now, we believe the price will begin the day’s opening with a bearish correction, aiming to capture internal liquidity in the discounted region, before resuming the bullish movement in search of the next targets.
NASDAQ possible Trade opportunities So we have bullish momentum as of right now so let's see if it will continue. I have 2 set ups that could play out. I personally like to get a closure above the zone with a retest showing the new support will hold before entering a trade. This pair can sometimes just keep going with a retest later on.
MNQ - Watch yesterday's London low carefully, we should rip highYou can see this play out much better on the 1 min chart:
The long and short story is that we have liquidity sitting on top of us and the bottom of current London session.
What they'll likely do is cover the entire daily session with liquidity from where yesterday's high's going to lows left off. Take price down to to "too much of an obvious liquidity point" (equal lows). I would expect that they induce everyone to long there, sharply take everyone out, but not go into the previous London low yet. They will force people to chase the low, providing liquidity on the backside, into yesterday's London low (which is daily low also).
Since it is a Tuesday, you get your market highs/lows on Tuesday apx 70% of the time statistically.... So I would expect the market to RIP super high from there and take out all of the sandwiched liquidity that will likely be engineered from what was left over from yesterday's AM/PM sessions, and the liquidity that will be engineered today.
Look for a very strong long opportunity at the bottom of Yesterday's London session low. Should be able to take it to the high today.
