NQ1! trade ideas
the power of SMT ( LONG ON NQ)Daily cycle SMT and 90 MINS CYCLE SMT , we either enter on CISD entry model to reach the next available liquidity or we use MSS and then wait a retracement to an FVG for an entry.
Intraday Gap Play On NQThis is a simple gap play to an open intraday gap at around 19,630 in NQ.
First, we want the market to move down a bit to optimize our RRR.
NQ Main ObjectiveFirst Objective is going to be the Second Lowest Line, final objective is the Bottom Line/Box. 4H Bearish SMT between ES and NQ + 4H MSS with Displacement. This is the Second Retracement and i'm saying this rally we saw in Asia/London was a Retracement because the HTF Objective is yet to be hit. In this retracement, there was 2 other Bearish SMTs with a 15M + 5M MSS inside of a 4H BISI & we hit a Daily Bearish OB.
Today's analysisToday at 10:00 New York local time we have CB Consumer Confidence. I wait to see if it respects this 15 minute gap and will look for a sell entry. It looks like we will be bearish. I will keep you updated if anything changes.
Long NQ for today. I said about SL at 19617, but let check this later today to find good entry point. And more clear SL , but for now it looks like a good scenario.
The Truth About Trading And How to Find EntriesThe truth about trading. Stop listening to Gurus, brokers, analysts and anyone else. Leave it to the charts. Here is how.

Stocks Too Far Too Quick After Powell?E-mini S&P (September) / E-mini NQ (September)
S&P, last week’s close: Settled 5652.50, up 58.50 on Friday and 74.25 on the week
NQ, last week’s close: Settled at 19,790.75, up 212.50 on Friday and 185.00 on the week
Fed Chair Powell delivered his keynote speech at Jackson Hole Friday morning. As expected, he gave the nod to a path of interest rate cuts beginning at the September meeting but emphasized the pace is to be determined and data-dependent. Most importantly, there appears to be a transition from an inflation-dependent to a labor-dependent policy trajectory. This was notable in his comments that “confidence has grown inflation is on a sustainable path to 2%,” and “it is unmistakable the labor market is cooling, and further cooling is unwelcome.”
Equity markets, led by small caps (E-mini Russell 2000), had a phenomenal finish to the week. The E-mini S&P and E-mini NQ finished strongly, but merely recovered Thursday’s loss, whereas the E-mini Russell broke out, gaining 3.1% and trading into the highest level since August 1st. It is also gearing to be the last of the big four indices to recover its July 31st close, as the E-mini Dow achieved such on Friday. Speaking of July 31st, stock indices finished that session strongly on the heels of the Fed’s policy meeting but could not hold a bid through the intraday open the following day, before reversing sharply. We are certainly not calling for a repeat of August 1-5, but one must wonder, with Fed Chair Powell merely delivering what was expected, can markets hold this bid. For example, according to the CME Group’s FedWatch Tool, there is a 76.4% probability the Fed will cut rates four times this year, up from 66% before Powell on Friday.
The E-mini S&P settled Friday right at major three-star resistance, a level now defined as our Pivot and point of balance, detailed below. Tech was the laggard on Friday, with the E-mini NQ again failing at the critical 19,925 mark during Fed Chair Powell’s speech. In fact, it may take NVDA’s earnings after the bell Wednesday to clear it. This rare major four-star resistance level, along with strong resistance in the E-mini S&P at 5661.75-5665.25 and 5672.75, will be most crucial as the week gets underway. To the downside, a break below major three-star support in the S&P and NQ at 5632.25-5637.25 and 19,578-19,618 is likely to encourage additional selling.

Here is last friday! I think that OB says alot!please let me know what you think about this interpretation of the price action on this last Friday. I think that OB had a lot to do with the reversal.
Last Tuesday was a Doosie! Here is what I saw (Short Bias)Here is what I saw on Tuesday of last week. My original idea was that we were going for higher highs, but after the quick run on the buy side, I had to change my perspective. What do you think?
None of this is advice for trade signals. this is just my own interpretation of the chart.

Trading Supply and Demand Zones as they are being createdHere I explain how I trade demand and supply zones as they are being formed.
Nasdaq - $20,000 Up and Coming?!With a huuuge psychological barrier @ $20,000, it's expected that price is drawn to and from that region in quick fashions due to induced liquidity and with us closing at $19,776, there is more premium arrays in comparison to ES, with the expected influx of selling pressure coming into the market if NQ was to rally to $20,100 - $20,300* area (HTF)
First point of interest is this weeks highs @ $19,904.25 with $20,025.25 also in the scopes.
nasdaq push uptoday we se the market recovering from yesterday drop.
we are currently at the high of the sesion. wich means that there is a possiblity of a drop.
i have marked previous OHLC daily levels. that i think might work as a support for a trade to the upside.
taregt its marked in green.
we are going to trade these levels in 15 min chart. if we see a green candle rejecting one of these levels we take the trade. no green candle no trade.
have fun
ELEKTRA
20240823 NQIt can be a very volatile day with HI news at 10am and 8pm. Nevertheless I anticipate more upside before the 10am and reversal to the downside. It is TGIF narrative and one more leg to the downside will make a perfect sense with d ss raid.
