NQ1! trade ideas
Nasdaq: At the Upper EdgeYesterday, the Nasdaq climbed above resistance at 22,475 points. Currently, the index is positioned outside our turquoise Target Zone (coordinates: 21,751 – 22,425 points), which remains active. Stops for short positions 1% above the zone have not yet been triggered. Our primary scenario remains intact for now: technically, there is room for wave B to reach the next resistance at 23,229 points. Following the B-wave peak, a downtrend is expected with the corrective wave C. With a 42% probability, we anticipate that wave alt.(4) is already complete, and the index may break directly higher within the magenta-colored wave alt.(5), surpassing the 23,229-point mark.

Buy limit order post-1H liquidity sweep I’m 1D Timeframe: The daily chart shows a strong bullish trend with consecutive green candles indicating sustained buying pressure. This suggests institutional accumulation and a lack of significant sell-side resistance.
4H Timeframe: The 4-hour chart presents a continuation of the bullish momentum with recent candles forming higher highs. This indicates ongoing institutional demand and a potential preparation for a further push upwards.
1H Timeframe: On the hourly chart, we observe a slight pullback in the form of a small bearish candle. This could represent a minor profit-taking phase or a setup for a liquidity sweep to capture stops below recent lows before continuing the uptrend.
15M Timeframe: The 15-minute chart shows more pronounced pullbacks, yet these are contained within the overall bullish structure observed on higher timeframes. This could be indicative of retail selling or minor institutional rebalancing.
5M and 1M Timeframes: Both these lower timeframes display increased volatility and a sharper pullback. This is typical in lower timeframes where retail trading is more pronounced, and institutional traders may use these moves to engineer liquidity before making significant market moves.
INSTITUTIONAL THESIS:
Institutions appear to be in an accumulation phase, using minor pullbacks to engineer liquidity and trap retail traders on the wrong side of the market. The expectation is for continued upward movement once these phases complete.
LEARNING POINT:
"1H liquidity sweep before continuation of 4H bullish momentum."
SIGNAL: BUY
SYMBOL: NASDAQ 100 E-mini Futures (NQ1!) ENTRY PRICE: $22,850.00 STOP LOSS: $22,800.00 (below the recent minor low to account for any further liquidity sweeps) TARGET PRICE: $23,000.00 (next psychological round number and potential resistance area) CONDITION: Buy limit order post-1H liquidity sweep confirming a bullish continuation on the 15M timeframe. RATIONALE: The setup aligns with a bullish market structure on higher timeframes, a potential liquidity sweep on the 1H chart, and a continuation of buying pressure indicated by the 4H and 1D charts. STRATEGIES USED: 1H Liquidity Sweep, 4H Bullish Continuation URGENCY: MEDIUM TIMEFRAME: Short-term to medium-term CONFIDENCE SCORE: 85% (based on alignment across multiple timeframes and clear bullish signals) RISK/REWARD RATIO: Calculated as follows:
Risk: $22,850.00 (entry) - $22,800.00 (stop) = $50.00
Reward: $23,000.00 (target) - $22,850.00 (entry) = $150.00
Ratio: $150.00 / $50.00 = 3:1
This trade setup offers a favorable risk/reward ratio exceeding the minimum 2:1 threshold, aligning with institutional trading principles and confirming a high-probability entry for a bullish continuation.

July Seasonality Patterns For Index, Metals and ForexSeasonality can be a useful tool if used wisely (and in context) with current sentiment and news flows. Seasonality really is a backwards looking indicator that can easily be overpowered by key macro drivers. But its strength comes in to play when seasonality aligns with the macro landscape.
With that in mind, I share my seasonality matrix for indices, metals and USD FX pairs to highlight potential patterns for July, then wrap up with an update on my Nasdaq 100 analysis.

PO3 analysis previewThis chart displays my current working model for PO3 structure, focusing on a multi-timeframe analysis (9m, 27m, 81m, 3H) using volume imbalances and key time-based phases. I’ve marked potential accumulation, manipulation, and distribution zones, alongside session-specific traps (like NYO sweeps) and key reaction areas tied to historical VIs.
The purpose of this post is to visually document these events and align them with real-time behavior. I'm exploring how price respects past VIs and cycles — especially when PO3 bar counts match across timeframes — and whether timing precision (e.g., bar 3/9 revisits) is consistently repeatable.
All annotations are part of a larger test strategy currently in development.
NASDAQ – Will It Hold or Collapse Further?📉🔥 NASDAQ Approaching Max Pain – Will It Hold or Collapse Further? 🚀⚠️
The NASDAQ 100 is hanging by a thread, as price approaches the key 19,106 support level. A breakdown from here could accelerate losses toward the 18,283 zone, and if things get worse, the dreaded 16,732 "Max Pain" level may be tested.
📊 Key Technical Levels:
📌 19,106 – First major support (bounce or breakdown zone).
📌 18,283 – Next key level if sellers take control.
📌 16,732 – The "Max Pain" zone, where long-term buyers may step in.
📌 15,347 – Ultimate demand zone if things spiral out of control.
🚨 Why Is Nasdaq Falling?
Tech stocks are getting destroyed, with Tesla leading the plunge.
Market panic over higher interest rates & economic uncertainty.
Bitcoin also struggling, highlighting broader risk-off sentiment.
💡 Will we see a relief rally from these levels, or is the bloodbath just getting started?
Drop your thoughts below!

NQ Range (07-08-25)White arrow is stall/drop zone and yellow is strong short. The O/N continues to reset any drops that happen in most Reg Sessions. It appears to me that a weak/fake Euphoric Stage is being played out. The idea of chasing the NAZ (after the O/N redirect) is the game, no chase and the game will end. The O/N has been redirecting for about 2 years (can continue). Again, the recent 25% drop was erased with a Tweet & news release (10 min 2,000 point) move and a few O/N's. Just feels like a fake chase play since the pop of the bottom.
2025-07-07 - priceactiontds - daily update - nasdaqGood Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: Market is ignoring every risk under the sun because the US government is too incompetent to follow-through with their excrement show. Beyond me that we are staying up high. Got no better comment for you today.
current market cycle: bull trend
key levels: 22500 - 23100
bull case: As long as bulls stay comfortably above 22500, they are fine and sideways is a very bullish correction for them. Bears are certainly not doing much, so bulls buy every dip and the chances of a new ath are there since we are very close to it.
Invalidation is below 22500.
bear case: Bears are just not doing enough. Markets have every reason to sell hard but they don’t. Unless we see big 1h bear bars closing on their low with follow-through selling, we can not expect lower prices. We need gaps but all bears get are huge reversal bars. Below 22500 things would look better for them but for now it’s very unlikely. It’s certainly a start that we closed a 4h bar below the 4h 20ema and below last week’s close but unless we make lower lows, it does not mean much.
Invalidation is above 23100.
short term: Neutral.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-06-29: No change in plans. I expect 20000 to get hit over the next 3 months and maybe 19000 again.
trade of the day: Scalping both sides since we had many alternating bars and prominent tails.
MNQ setups Ok, So since i just woke up so i wont describe much on this chart.
What i would like to see is the following, price retraces to the blue box (where there is too much liq before that blue box), then continue upwards.
also if the price just closes above 23000, then its also good to wait until the price reaches back to 22860 and then go long from there.
You can also take some counter trend trades in between if the price doesn't show momentum to continue upwards. That would happen if the price closes below 22900.
NQ Futures Weekly Plan – Major Liquidity Zones Mapped”📍 Weekly Outlook – NQ (NQU2025)
Week of July 8 | 30-Min Chart | HTF Trend: Bullish
🔼 Key Resistance Zones
ATH – 23,102.50
‣ Major liquidity draw and psychological level
22,935 zone
‣ Prior Thursday and Monday highs
‣ HTF rejection or continuation zone
Watch for LTF sweeps or CHoCH before fading strength
🔽 Key Support Zones
22,785 area
‣ WED LO, SUN HI, and FVG confluence
‣ Ideal HTF bullish continuation zone
22,582 (Monday Low)
‣ First downside liquidity target
22,455 (Sunday Low)
‣ Deep sweep zone if trend weakens
📌 Strategy Notes
✅ Align with HTF structure – current trend remains bullish unless 22,582 fails
🔍 Use LTF (1m–5m) for precision entries only after HTF levels are tested or swept
⏰ Focus on session timing (NY Open, London) for true intent
🧠 Reminder:
Don’t let LTF noise shake your bias.
HTF sets the trap. LTF gives you the trigger.
Stay patient. Trade clean.

Good Day and I hope you are well.
comment: Neutral. Chart is still max bullish but I have no more targets above and I’m fine with this going without me. Below 22600 I will start looking for lower targets. Until then best bears can get is sideways around 23000 but we will get a big move Monday/Tuesday once we have an answer on the US-EU tariff shit show. A good start for the bears is any price below 22584.
current market cycle: resumption of the bull trend but likely the final flag and we most likely will top out here around/under 23000
key levels for next week: 22000 - 23000
bull case: Bulls obviously still in full control. 2 bear bars out of the past 9 is a strong bull trend. Until we see much bigger selling pressure, technically we can only expect higher prices. Bulls broke above the bull channel from 21000 late may and confirmed the breakout now. The issues against the bulls are also the same arguments as for them. It’s overbought, climactic and very very late in the trend. This strong selling this late is something that usually happens before we turn,
Invalidation is below 22600
bear case: Just to make this clear again, bears have nothing right now. This chart is as bullish as it gets, that is why you can not look to short this yet. With that disclaimer, I also think it’s a bad buy. We are beyond overbought on many many economic indicators worsening and this trend is trying to accelerate. This is the time where weak/late bulls come around with the “this time it’s different” and "valuations don’t matter. We will again sell off big time this year but it’s stupid to trying to pick the top here.
Invalidation is above 23200 (any number I write here is stupid because it’s top picking. It could easily go to 23500 given the strength of this move)
short term: Neutral. No interest in buying but too early for shorts. Let’s see what the US-EU trade “talks” bring next week.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-06-29: No change in plans. I expect 20000 to get hit over the next 3 months and maybe 19000 again.
