US100 trade ideas
NQ for the weeki don't see a lot of options for shorters here if you didn't catch the move, possibly you can you get some short in lower time frame toward that ray i pointed out there, some options if you want to buy is wait for that thursday low get taken and patiently wait for a reversal. IF today have been this volatile, i don't suggest to trade tomorrow.

Use proper risk management
Looks like good trade.
Lets monitor.
Use proper risk management.
Disclaimer: only idea, not advice
NQ sell of from 15VN. (5 min is the actual chart)Tradingview will only allow a 15min chart not a 5 min chart.
But this is a 5min trade.
OR broke to the lows, 5 of the top weighted stocks are down on the day with META reluctontly moving lower.
A re test of VN of 15mins should see a rejection towards the lows, enough to cover the short. If not then price should just rip through without giving an entry.
$NDX and the Wedge of Death. It sounds like a rather cheesy Indiana Jones movie but we can clearly see a few things on the NASDAQ:NDX Chart that stick out like a sore Thumb.
While we do have bullish looking activity on the lower time frames the fact of the matter is the NASDAQ:NDX is Bear Flagging once again and flirting with disaster near the lower break of the flag trendline.
It may well be recovering at the Trendline but for the moment we need to play this out by the numbers. Any break below the bear flag will result in a rather large flush into the Market Maker's Target of 14,058.33.
Every Index and most of the Mag 8 are printing Death Crosses on the Daily. While we tend to recover from these steep sell off's, there always comes a time or two that we keep on selling.
Be safe and follow the Market Maker.
NAS100 Liquidity Trade Analysis 4hr and 1hr Time FrameNasDaq100 is currently in consolidation zone on 1hr levels of $19,035 resistance and $18,633 support zone. We traded of the 1hr tf with break of resistance at $18,630 this was our indication of bullish momentum, waited for correction to retouch our resistance line and took buys off the continuation of bullish momentum.
UNCONFIRMED VIEW - NDXGood Morning Everyone,
Hope all is well. NDX is looking toppy throughout the last week. Lets break it down.
We had a nice strong bullish movement April 7th. This led to a bloom in the market and some nice green rallies. We have only had "1" confirmed support throughout this rally and "1" confirmed resistance.
We have a double top that has formed, you can see this in the two yellow circles. The trend itself is starting to top out on RSI & volume is decreasing. This is all signalling that a path down to find a new support is coming.
Right now I hold 0 of anything. I sold my portfolio this morning and am waiting for re-entry. Yes this was a bit early as I have not confirmed a 2nd resistance however I am playing safe right now.
Enjoy!

This chart breaks down the NAS100 (US100 Cash CFD) price action using ICT and SMC principles. We've identified a clear market structure shift and multiple order blocks (OB), fair value gaps (FVG), and imbalance zones.
📌 Key Highlights:
4H
15MIN Order Block (OB): Price retraced to the 15-minute OB before showing bullish momentum.
Market Structure Shift (MSS): MSS confirmed after price broke above the internal structure.
Liquidity Sweep: Previous equal highs taken out, indicating a liquidity grab before potential reversal.
Premium vs. Discount Zones: Price currently trading in a premium zone, close to a 15MIN supply OB.
Confluence Zone: Multiple SMC elements align (OB + FVG + MSS), suggesting high probability setup.
📈 Expectations: Price may react to the current 15MIN supply zone and give a short opportunity targeting lower imbalance or internal structure lows. If broken cleanly, we could see continuation toward higher HTF targets.

NAS100 Stuck in Limbo – Breakout Brewing or Breakdown Coming?The NAS100 is caught in a see-saw of indecision, dancing between trendline resistance above and support below. No need to guess the outcome—momentum will tip its hand soon. We're planning to straddle the move with a one-cancels-the-other (OCO) setup and let the market choose the direction. Stay patient, stay ready.
How I Traded A FULL Multi-Timeframe Wave - AND got PAIDThis week, I tracked NASDAQ from a technical + psychological level most traders avoided… but I saw the opportunity 🔎
While others sat on the sidelines calling it “too choppy,” I:
✅ Identified Wave 5 structure on the 4H + 1H timeframes
✅ Mapped out entries using price action + liquidity zones
✅ Held through 6+ rejections at resistance
✅ Executed with discipline, not emotion
✅ Took partial profits, protected capital
✅ Watched price explode — and I got my 💸
✅ Then wrapped the week with a real withdrawal
📚 KEY LESSONS I’M DROPPING FOR YOU:
📊 Technical Analysis = The "What"
→ Chart patterns, structure, liquidity zones, entries/exits.
🌍 Fundamental Analysis = The "Why"
→ News, interest rates, sentiment.
I stayed focused on the “what” — not the fear headlines.
💡 Liquidity Isn’t Noise. It’s a Signal.
Every rejection I held through was just price loading up.
I didn’t flinch. I let smart money do the work.
💥 Wave 5s test your strategy AND your patience.
I saw smaller TF Wave 5 complete before 4H — so I waited.
I didn’t FOMO back in — I planned for the pullback and possible short flip.
🧠 MINDSET WINS > CHART WINS
🧘🏽♀️ My biggest move this week?
I walked away with clarity — not just profit.
That’s trader growth.
💬 Final thoughts:
You don’t need 100 trades. You need 1 well-managed setup and a calm mind.

NAS100 Triangle Apex – Breakout or Breakdown ImminentBullish View:
• Price is forming higher lows and holding above the lower ascending trendline.
• A breakout above the upper descending trendline near 18,500 would confirm bullish
momentum.
• If the breakout is sustained, potential upside targets include 18,650 and 18,800.
Bearish View:
• Price has tested the lower support trendline and shown weakness near the apex of the
triangle.
• A breakdown below 18,100 would indicate bearish momentum and invalidate the ascending
structure.
• If the breakdown is sustained, potential downside targets include 17,950 and 17,700.
Short Day TradeTook a Short position at the daily EMA9
Entry: 18440
SL: 18690
TP 17950
Went short because today China reacted with a tariff increase on Trump action and Tesla does not take orders in China anymore. Was thinking about shorting Tesla but I decided to stick to the index.
Entry Level was choosen because I expected the price to touch the daily ema9 again (when I woke up it was way below it). The TP is just the intraday low which I expect to be hit again. The SL is a little high, thought about taking the premarket high but considered that this might be the SL for many shorts and it might hit at market open to erase some shorts from the market.
So the Risk Reward Ratio is bad for this trade. If I weren't so bearish for the market I probably would not have taken the trade
In my opinion the upstick of the market was just market manupulation by Trump (who should be impeached over this) and the uncertainty will bring the market much lower
I trade on the 4h chart, the 1h is just to see the progress.
I will close the trade before the market closes, no matter where it is.
