Lets Focus On the lows for NowIf we were to forget a bit about the higher high that can possibly be formed, and consider the idea that there is a low that is a FVG on a daily timeframe and it is likely going to become our $ target, sweeping the sell stops towards mitigation. If we are to do so, let us be considerate of our entries and salvage the highs so we can hold, SHOULD the market allow us to.

NSDQ - sideways consolidation after reaching intraday ATHThe NSDQ (USTec) index pair price action sentiment appears bullish, supported by the longer-term prevailing uptrend. The recent intraday price action appears to be a sideways consolidation after reaching the intraday all time high.
The key trading level is at 21890 level, the consolidation price range and also the previous resistance now newly formed support zone. A corrective pullback from the current levels and a bullish bounce back from the 21890 level could target the upside resistance at 22373 followed by the 22500 and 22620 levels over the longer timeframe.
Alternatively, a confirmed loss of the 21890 support and a daily close below that level would negate the bullish outlook opening the way for a further retracement and a retest of 21770 support level followed by 21640.

US100 / NASDAQ ANALİZPossible bullish scenario;
* If the price breaks through the upper band of the ascending channel (upper border of the yellow zone), the upward movement may intensify. Target zones 22,800 - 23,200 This is the price if the upper band of the channel acts as resistance.
Possible bearish scenario
* If the price breaks the blue trend lines, the first solid support for the bearish move is 20,715. If this level is breached, a fall to the lower band of the channel (around 20,000) may occur. A more violent sell-off could see a test of 19,800.
At the moment, the US100\/NASDAQ is in a decision phase, so the price is at a critical point. If the trend lines are not broken, the direction will not be clear.
NASQ100 - Buy and TP it, always set SLNASQ100 - wait for revised pattern formed then buy and TP it, always set SL.
My NAS Long Scalp IdeaUS stocks and indices are very neutral recently. I however remain slightly bullish and found a small setup. This is pure price action bias but including the fundamental view we are in a neutral state as we are waiting for upcoming economic news. This week has been neutral due to the lack of news. We got a bunch of Trump speech but nothing more.
This idea is meant for short term It could completely reverse on me so do your own research and trade safely.
Are we sleeping on a massive double top?As you can see, The Nasdaq has made two near equal peaks around the 22100 area.
Although the Weekly candles of the first and second week of February were bullish, it coincided with two weeks of declining volume, usually meaning momentum exhaustion.
On the 18th February the Nasdaq printed a strong ‘no body’ red doji on the daily TF. This is an indecision candle but can signal the beginning of a trend change.
The Green Areas show the Daily Fair Value Gaps and I’ve but a target beside the Fair Value Gaps that are currently unfilled.
If the Nasdaq breaks beneath 20500, the targets underneath this price is where I’d expect price to be drawn towards.
Also, I have highlighted some notable lows where I’d expected volatility around. I am not suggesting at that this move could in a straight line by the way. If it happens, it will happen in waves.
This is based 100% on technical analysis.

NDX KEY LEVELS FOR 18/02/2025//description
// All credit goes to Tony for the concept of this indicator. His Trading View link: www.tradingview.com
// Note: The calculation method in this indicator differs from Tony's, but the concept is derived from his work.
I want to make it clear that I am not a seller, and this method was not taught to me by anyone. The original creator only gave me one clue:
👉 "If you get one level, you get all levels."
Everything else—the way I nail it the method and applied it—is my own work. I respect the original idea, but my approach is independent.
Explanation:
This trading system helps you avoid blind trades by providing confirmation for better entries and exits.
Entry/Exit Points:
- Entry/Exit Lines: Use the BLACK line for long trades and the RED line for short trades, based on confirmation from your trading plan.
- Stop Loss: For long trades, set the stop loss at the RED line below. For short trades, set it at the BLACK line above.
- Take Profit: For long trades, target the next RED line above. For short trades, target the next BLACK line below.
Timeframe:
Use a 5 mins timeframe for trading.
Risk Disclaimer:
This setup is for educational purposes. I'm not responsible for your gains or losses. Check the chart for more details.
Is the Nasdaq Breaking Out?The Nasdaq-100 has consolidated for about two months, and now some traders may expect a breakout.
The first pattern on today’s chart is Friday’s candle. It represented an intraday all-time high, a daily closing high and a weekly closing high. Could those new highs lead to more new highs?
Next, a series of support levels have held since mid-January. The index first held a weekly low from November 27. It next gapped down on DeepSeek worries (January 27), only to form a higher weekly low that held the following Monday when tariff news briefly hit sentiment. After that, the February 7 weekly close held when inflation was higher than expected (on February 12).
Those incrementally higher lows may suggest that support has nudged upward.
Third, a falling trendline along the peaks of December and late January has been breached.
Fourth, MACD is rising. Prices have additionally refused to stay below the 50-day simple moving average, the 21-day exponential moving average (EMA) or the 8-day EMA.
Finally, you have the calendar event of Nvidia NASDAQ:NVDA earnings on February 26. This potential catalyst will be followed by the chip giant’s GTC conference March 17-21, which may support enthusiasm toward AI. (This year incidentally introduces a “Quantum Day” on March 20.)
