NAS100 trade ideas
NAS100 ICT Smart Money Concept Analysis | April 14, 2025🔍 Overview:
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.
US 100 - Ranges overview Let's see what the charts are telling us on US 100.
Just like US 30 US 100 retraced and is currently in a redistribution phase.
From a HTF, as long as we hold 16771.6 expect us aggressively trade towards 19000 and 20500.
IF we fail to hold 16771.6 expect us to retrace towards the 16771.6 and 15201 range. Any clean close below 16771.6 and the market will aggressively seek the sellside liquidity around 15201.
As always WAIT FOR THE MARKET TO SHOW YOU ITS HAND.
Stay safe and never risk more than 1-5% of your capital per trade. The following analysis is merely a price action based analysis and does not constitute financial advice in any form.
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.

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.
NASDAQ BuyPossible reverse to the upside, markets are very volatile and great opportunities to buy at a discount are there.

IS it about Money or The love of itA lot of us get wavered to the side by the pressure of not having any money at our age, whereas on our sides are boys - girls who are killing it. Sometimes though I feel like if we cared less about money itself and were patient about our existence, we would achieve more, not lazy, but patience, in a content manner. The pressure is not from within, the pressure is external and justified by our fear of not being worth any thing. Let is relax, more years of a solid foundation of overnight success.
Nas100 continuation lower?Good evening traders, I am busy with my market recap and I saw this beautiful idea on nas100/US100 or whatever name your broker uses.
Indices have been pretty bearish from our understanding as we saw price crush, well my thought process when analysing chart is question based, question like did price move above our weekly opening price to give us our manipulation phase in the power of 3, and in this case or in the case of this analysis the answer is yes it moved higher following this week’s open. Today in the 1 hour TF we have a structure shift lower and before we can do anything we need to see price come higher to Atleast the FVG that is marked on the chart, I know ICT teaches deeper about FVG but for me it’s fine for price to completely cover it. Or if maybe the OTE(optimal trade entry) is the method you use to enter trades it’s still fine or even order blocks if maybe you can see any than it’s also completely fine.
Currently price is showing momentum lower and maybe it’ll close prices lower but if we close the daily candle above the midpoint of the weekly gap we can expect price go than trigger the limit.
NAS100 - Monthly Demand Zone Rejection | Massive Bullish PotentThe NAS100 has pulled back significantly from its all-time highs, retracing into a major monthly demand zone aligned with the 50% Fibonacci retracement level (16,344.76).
🔍 Key Technical Highlights:
Demand Zone: Price has tapped into a historically strong demand block between 14,955 – 16,344 (gray box), which previously acted as a launchpad for the last rally.
Fibonacci Levels: Price bounced right off the 50% Fib level, showing early signs of bullish interest. Below lies the 61.8% and deeper retracement levels at 14,955 and 13,872 respectively—strong areas to watch if price dips further.
Bullish Reversal Candlestick: Current monthly candle showing potential reversal with high buying pressure.
RSI: The RSI is rebounding from near the 40 level, historically acting as support during major bull runs.
🎯 Trade Idea:
Entry: Near current levels or on a retest of 16,344
Target: 25,410 (Previous ATH and Fibonacci extension zone, +27%)
Stop Loss: Below 14,000 support, giving room for volatility
🧠 RSTRADING View:
We’re anticipating a long-term bullish reversal as the market finds footing at a key institutional zone. With macroeconomic optimism returning and tech stocks regaining momentum, NAS100 could be setting up for a new leg higher.
NAS100 Rebounds Sharply from Demand Zone – More Upside Ahead?The NASDAQ 100 (NAS100) just delivered a textbook bounce from the key demand zone between 16,800 and 16,900, showing signs of a strong bullish reaction after a sharp drop.
This reaction may be the start of a potential bullish reversal, especially with upcoming US news that could add fuel to the move.
Key Levels:
Demand Zone (Support): 16,800 - 16,900
This zone has held firm and triggered a rapid bullish engulfing move – clear buyer interest!
Next Resistance Levels:
18,437 (Mid-range target – strong historical resistance)
19,852 (Supply zone – high confluence area with potential to reject price)
Bullish Bias Reasoning:
Strong bullish momentum post-dip
Buyers defended key structure near 16,826
Clean structure for risk-reward trades
Possible double bottom forming on lower timeframes
Possible Trade Setup (Not Financial Advice):
Entry: 17,000 – 17,100
SL: Below 16,750
TP1: 18,437
TP2: 19,850
Watchlist Alert:
US economic data incoming – high-impact news could create volatility and push NAS100 into breakout territory.
