NQ1! trade ideas
MNQ Trade Idea Continuation (3)Continuation into the trade idea we were sharing, we traded through the Daily high level we were targetting of 21,404.75 then rushed lower under the Trendline Phantom line and under the IFVG that was used as support for price to reach 21,419.75.
Will this be another manipulation below 21,362.00 lows before continuation higher, or should I have set a TP at the 21,404.75 highs and called it a day?
Final trade entry for the day 5.14.25Will this trade idea hold?
Currently targeting the daily highs, but price has been so bullish due to all the things happening with the economy and trump with tarrifs with china and now the new $600B deal with Saudi Arabia. So I was hoping to see prices continue even higher than the daily high for us to benefit from that trade we are on.
Us holding on past the highs could hurt us by losing the current profits we have secured. But we will let this final trade show us what it decides to do and shift SL accordingly with the hopes that we don't get manipulated out of our trade.
We have london Lows still intact, not sure if the market will want to reach back lower into it and possibly inside of a bullish FVG for a discount area before exploding higher.
To me it seems that we are on a bullish trend creating higher lows and higher highs and targetting the previous sellside of the curve.
Let me know your thoughts below, where do you think price will reach to?
Continuation to MNQ trading 5.14.25 (2)Continuation into my MNQ trading day, would like to see price continue higher, we have been pumping alot lately which cautions me to worry if we will see some sort of fast retracement sometime soon.
We took yesterday's daily highs, so I am a little confused if we will continue to take the current daily candle's high or if we will see some sort of retracement today into a bullish FVG from the daily to then continue trading higher.
The key aspect of trading that we are learning is when a candle/price will do something. Still alot to learn but have been making some decent choices with our trades. If we are stopped out we are still in profits for the day and maybe we call it.
The key thing I regret this trading session is not taking that $500 profit on NQ on that very first entry we took. Would've offset our losses and helped us stay secure profits for the day.

Nasdaq 100 set for 25k?The Nasdaq 100 is in a technical bull market, having rebounded 20% from its cycle low. While the risk remains that this is simply a 'bear market bounce' that could sucker punch bulls, I believe bulls have got this and we could be headed for 25k.

2025-05-13 - priceactiontds - daily update - nasdaqGood Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: Can’t get more bullish than this but I am not willing to buy the exact high but rather would wait for a pullback. The only thing that we turn me neutral right now, would be a > -2% down day and close below 20800.
current market cycle: trading range
key levels: 19700 - 20600
bull case: My lowest measured move target is 22350. Market should stay above 20000 if bulls want to get there and that’s likely all that’s important about the nasdaq for now. Clear breakout and follow-through. Bears gave up and we are again at peak euphoria.
Invalidation is below 20000.
bear case: Bears need a miracle below 20000. That’s it. Could this become a bull trap and an exhaustion gap? Always possible but I think it’s so unlikely that you can not make money betting on those odds. Path of least resistance is up, Opex or not. What I do think is that we could be close to the top of the channel we are in and we go sideways for the next days. I drew potential upper bull channel line but confirmation would only be if we don’t print anything above 21350 tomorrow.
Invalidation is above 20400.
short term: Neutral. Bulls grinding but for how many more tries? If that is bad English, you can suck my Bratwurst.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-04-20: My most bearish target for 2025 was 17500ish, given in my year-end special. We are +18% from the lows and I do think, once this turns again, it will easily be the short trade of the year.
trade of the day: Shorting new highs continues to print money.
Inflation Data Boosting MarketsInflation has been front and center on traders' minds for the last several years as it can impact not only consumer prices but also futures markets. Today, CPI was released and the number came in slightly lower than expected at 2.3%. Throughout the session, the equity indices, precious metals, crypto markets, and Crude Oil traded higher. The Nasdaq led the way higher for the equities being up over 1.5% and Crude Oil also was up over 2.5% recording the 4th consecutive day with a higher high.
Looking at the recent gains in the S&P and Nasdaq, it can be useful to look at the historic relative strength on a daily basis. Currently for the Nasdaq, the relative strength from a daily basis standpoint is at the highest level since the all time high prices from December 17th, and the market is trading well below that level currently. For the rest of the week, traders will hear remarks from Fed Chair Powell about the current inflation and employment landscape and will see more data on global inflation that could add volatility to the markets.

NQ Short (05-13-25)The move up from Danger Zone U Turn at KL 16,365 on 4/7 has been sketchy at best. These are better viewed on the NDX Daily chart. Below is YTD NDX, notice the multiple Gap moves up and away from the Danger Zone (16,790 on NDX). Looking back, gaps usually get revisited and when you have 3-4 there is higher probability of a gap fill.
The NAZ 30M chart is showing the channel to play as the NAZ just popped to Top after the Sunday gap open and 2am 350 point 25m move. Sunday had a gap and a massive 2am move. NDX chart looks like Swiss Cheese and NAZ (NQ) chart will break down the gap that created the Cheese. It is all Cheesy Price Action.
