NQ: ST consolidation is expectedGood day!
After the 90-day pause of the tariffs, NQ should consolidate in the ST (2-3 days) before resuming the fundamental downtrend.
The effect of CPI and PPI will be very limited whatsoever the data. However Consumer data will trigger the downtrend if this data is undershoot. Otherwise, consolidation will prevail.
The blue box should delimitate the consolidation area.

NASDAQ Long Wave 5 Targeting Supply Zone, Then Looking to ShortI’m currently holding long positions from the end of Wave 2 (entry around 16,849). I took partial profits after Wave 3 (around 19,000–19,200) and now waiting for 4H TF Wave 4 to pull back and give a re-entry.
Once Wave 4H TF Wave 4 completes, I plan to scale back in and target the 19,500–19,900 zone.
If price reaches that zone and shows rejection, I’ll look to switch bias and short as I believe that will begin a daily Wave 2 correction to the downside.
Key levels I’m watching:
• Wave 2 support: 16,849
• Wave 3 resistance zone / TP1: 19,000 area
• Wave 5 supply zone / Final TP: 19,500–19,900
• Sell zone if confirmed reversal: 19,500–20,000
• Next short target (after confirmation): TBD once Wave 5 completes
Will update this idea as Wave 4 forms and price action confirms the next leg.

NASDAQ100 - Trade Idea 10 April 2025📌 Key Points on the Chart:
Bullish Engulfing Daily (Orange Circle)
This is a candlestick pattern that suggests a possible trend reversal from downtrend to uptrend.
A big green candle fully engulfs the previous red candle → a strong sign that buyers are taking control.
Strong Low & Swing Low (Lowest Points)
These areas are considered strong support zones.
Price previously dropped to this level and quickly bounced back up → seen as a “cheap” price by Smart Money.
High Volume Spike
Notice the high volume bar when the bullish candle formed – this shows strong buying interest.
Likely that big players (institutions) are stepping in to buy.
Projected Price Movement (White Zigzag Path)
The chart suggests price may continue to rise (possibly toward the 20,000+ zone).
But first, there may be a slight pullback (cooling off) before continuing upward.
FVG (Fair Value Gap)
This is a price gap that hasn't been filled yet – price often returns to fill these gaps.
In ICT, FVG is treated as a discount or premium zone for potential entries.
50% Level (Fibonacci Retracement)
This line shows the midpoint between a previous swing high and swing low.
It often acts as a reaction zone for price – either support or resistance.
🔍 Simple Summary:
The chart is showing a potential bullish reversal.
A bullish engulfing pattern + high volume = signs of institutional buying.
Expectation: price may pull back slightly, then continue rising.
Strategy: traders might wait for a pullback into the FVG or 50% zone to look for buy entry opportunities.
Downtrend looks to be continuing with a new lower highAre we targeting a new lower low? Time will tell, but with every passing day the true nature of a sitting president full of hot air comes to light. The words that are spewed will have less and less gravity on the markets until his words are put out onto deaf ears and the markets can get back to a functioning state. When you hear a liar speak the first time you don't know the words are lies, but eventually you just stop listening to the nonsense because it all seems like lies after. Either way the words hold little punch. Shock and Shock is the ploy, I guess? I'm not shocked any longer and maybe the markets will get it too eventually.

NSDQ100 INTRADAY resistance retest U.S. futures rose and the dollar strengthened after Donald Trump eased concerns that had been weighing on markets. He stated he has no plans to fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell, despite ongoing frustrations over interest rates. While this helped calm nerves, Bloomberg's John Authers cautions against viewing it as a major shift in sentiment.
Trump also struck a more conciliatory tone on China, saying he intends to be “very nice” in trade talks and suggested tariffs could be lowered if a deal is reached—indicating a possible softening of his approach toward Beijing.

CRT CREATEDThis week was a sweep and continue bullish, this was after the market draw on liquidity to send it off upwards. so expectation is the high will be taken out this week or next week if Thursday doesn't fulfil the wish. Monday was the low of the week during New York session causing Tuesday to follow the trend and break Monday's high
Are we out of the woods yet ? From the day chart, it is 50/50 chance as we are in a crucial position.
While we are officially no longer in a bear market, the price action are still weak and has yet to break above the resistance of 19,213 on 9th April which was the day Trump announced a 90 days cooling period.
If the price action over the next week/month continues nicely in the upward channel, then the probability of breaking above 19,213 resistance is more secured.
The challenge remains nobody knows for sure what trump cards does Trump holds and he is well aware his words alone can moves the market. He said he is unhappy with Powell and that causes market jittery, another fall day and the next day, he said he has no intention of firing him.
And we have Bessent saying the de-escalation with China is coming to a close (really?) and that drives the market higher.
I bet it is very tough to be in Trump's team , facing so much pressure and stress and saying things out of proportions on a daily basis. Credibility is definitely at stake, just like a shattered mirror, the cracks will forever be there.
IF you feel extremely uncomfortable and you have positions in the US markets, perhaps trimming some of your holdings might help you to sleep better. Avoid taking on unnecessary risks by betting on short term market moves. The hardest part of trading is psychology and if you got lucky once or twice winning your bets, are you going to stop and not continue ? Or will you bet bigger? 90% of the traders will do the latter thinking they got things under control and that is when the market takes an abrupt turn and kill you without batting an eyelid.
Stay safe, stay wise, always have stop loss if you want to trade, never borrow money no matter how reliable you think your tips/indicators are telling you.
