NQ Shorts Into Sellside Liquidity (26/06/2025)
Tracked this trade live as price swept buyside liquidity at 22,300.59, forming a potential short-formed M pattern. Watched for confirmation and waited patiently through a small bullish pullback, identifying potential trap behavior rather than true continuation.
Once a bearish market structure shift (MSS) occurred—confirmed by a body close below the prior wick low—I executed a short position, targeting the sellside liquidity shelf at 22,166.92, aligned with Asian session lows. Dimmed HeatMap clusters beneath suggested institutional interest, supporting a high-probability setup.
Trade thesis:
- Liquidity sweep at 22,300.59
- Rejection with fading momentum and wick absorption
- MSS confirmation with strong-bodied candle
- Dimmed clusters and multiple marked sellside levels below
Execution: Sniper short after MSS confirmation. Trade is live and managed with defined targets and narrative context. Let’s see how deep this bleed runs.
USTEC trade ideas
NSDQ100 Bullish breakout supported at 21950President Trump rejected a Pentagon intelligence report suggesting his airstrikes on Iran had limited effect, claiming they caused “total obliteration,” despite inconclusive satellite imagery. In a surprising move that weakens longstanding US sanctions, Trump also allowed China to resume purchases of Iranian oil.
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell reiterated that the current inflation outlook supports holding interest rates steady. He is expected to provide further detail in testimony before the Senate Banking Committee today.
Markets responded calmly: stock futures were steady as the Israel-Iran truce held, and oil prices rose slightly after their sharpest two-day drop since 2022.
Separately, the UK announced plans to purchase 12 US-made F-35A fighter jets capable of carrying nuclear weapons, in a bid to strengthen ties with Trump. NATO allies are working diplomatically to reassure the US of their unity, ahead of a summit in The Hague.

US 100 – Potential For Further Geo-Political Volatility AheadEarly trading this Monday morning has been dominated by President Trump's surprise weekend decision to launch airstrikes on three nuclear sites in Iran, which may increase the potential for a wider conflict in the Middle East.
After closing at 21,652 on Friday, this news led the US 100 to a gap open lower to 21,375 in early Asian trading, however, this drop didn't last long and the index has since recovered to trade back up to 21600 again at the time of writing (0800 BST).
Looking forward, the focus for traders may continue to be on Iran's next move. So far they have confined their retaliation to missile attacks on Israel, but they did issue a statement saying they reserve all options to defend themselves.
Fresh attacks on US bases in the region, or deciding to close the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping supply route for Oil and Gas from the region, may undermine risk sentiment which could lead to renewed selling of the US 100, while any options suggesting a potential quicker resolution to this conflict may be seized upon by traders to push the index back up to higher levels seen in the middle of last week.
There are scheduled events released across the week that may also be relevant, these include the testimony of Federal Reserve (Fed) Chairman Jerome Powell to congress at 1500 BST on Tuesday and Wednesday, as well as the next US PCE Index update at 1330 BST on Friday, which is the Fed's preferred inflation gauge.
Technical Update: Assessing Support and Resistance Levels
Escalation of hostilities in the middle east over the weekend may leave traders uncertain as to the direction of the next price activity for the US 100 moving forward.
However, technical analysis can help to outline potential support and resistance levels, which if broken to the up or downside, might offer clues on where the index may move.
Potential Support Levels:
Looking at the chart of the US 100 index below, it could be argued that Monday’s lower opening level has already tested what traders may be viewing as support at 21373. This level is equal to half the May 23rd to June 11th phase of price strength.
Having seen an initial recovery following tests of this 21373 level, it may now have been strengthened as a support focus. This means closing breaks below 21373, while not a guarantee of further price declines, may suggest tests of the next support at 20666, which is the May 23rd price low, even 20360, the 38% Fibonacci retracement level, could be possible.
Potential Resistance Levels:
In terms of resistance levels to monitor this week, as the chart shows, Friday’s activity did see a sell-off from its 21905 session high. This confirms sellers have been active at this level previously and may prove to be again.
As such, traders may now be watching the defence of this 21905 level on a closing basis, as breaks above this resistance may now be required to see attempts to push to higher levels which may include a challenge of resistance at 22074, the June 11th session upside extreme, possibly then 2226, the February 18th high.

NASDAQ 100 Under Pressure –Watching 21470 Break for ContinuationUSNAS100 – Technical Overview
USNAS100 has reached the support level we highlighted yesterday and continues to trade within a bearish trend, especially after confirming a 1H close below 21635.
Bearish Outlook:
As long as the price remains below 21635, the next target is 21470.
A break below 21470 would confirm further downside toward the support zone at 21375 and 21250.
Bullish Scenario:
Bullish momentum may return if the price breaks above 21635 on the 1H timeframe, targeting 21780 and potentially 21930 and 22090.
• Support: 21470 / 21375 / 21250
• Resistance: 21780 / 21930 / 22090
Nasdaq - This starts the next +50% rally!Nasdaq - TVC:NDQ - might break out soon:
(click chart above to see the in depth analysis👆🏻)
Despite the quite harsh correction of about -25% which we saw in the beginning of 2025, the Nasdaq is clearly heading for new all time highs. It sounds almost incredible but if the Nasdaq breaks above the current confluence of resistance, a breakout rally of +50% will follow thereafter.
Levels to watch: $21.500, $33.000
Keep your long term vision!

Nasdaq 100 Near Breakout – Eyes on 22,200 ResistanceThe Nasdaq 100 is approaching a critical technical level at 22,200. This resistance marks the upper boundary of recent consolidation and aligns with prior rejection zones. A clean break above this threshold could trigger a sharp upside move, possibly propelling the index into uncharted territory.
Geopolitical tensions have eased, and the dollar’s renewed weakness is supporting risk appetite, particularly in the tech-heavy Nasdaq. Strong earnings from key sectors are reinforcing bullish sentiment, with investors increasingly pricing in a favorable macro backdrop.
Technically, momentum is building. Price action has formed a series of higher lows, and buying pressure is intensifying near resistance. A breakout above 22,200 could ignite a strong rally, driven by stop orders and fresh bullish entries.
That said, traders should remain cautious. While the breakout setup is promising, a retracement toward support zones—such as 21,500 or the 20-day moving average—remains possible, especially if upcoming inflation or macro data disappoints.
For now, the 22,200 level remains the key to watch. A daily close above this level would shift the bias clearly higher, confirming breakout strength and potentially accelerating gains toward 22,800 or beyond.
Triple Top Forming on NAS100? Reversal Attempt BrewingNAS100 may be carving out a triple top or micro head-and-shoulders, hinting at a potential short-term reversal. A confirmed break of the current range is still required to validate downside momentum. With heightened geopolitical risk (U.S. strike on Iran), capital may rotate into gold and oil, weighing on equities. This is a low-risk, short-term idea only—more structure and confirmation needed before hunting larger trend moves.

US100 - The NasDAQ_26_06_2025📈 US100 Trade Breakdown – Liquidity Grab + Bullish Continuation Potential 🚀
Caption for TradingView:
"Liquidity above equal highs has been taken ("EQL TAKEN") — classic stop hunt setup. Price then respected a bullish order block, forming a clean ascending structure off the green demand zone. If price holds above the black trendline, I’m expecting a bullish continuation. Next move? Either a retest of demand at 22,240–22,250 or continuation toward 22,400. Watch for reaction around the demand zone — that’s the key to the next leg."
🔍 Key Zones:
EQL Taken: Liquidity sweep above highs — signs of smart money movement.
Demand Zone (Green Block): Price launchpad; strong reaction confirms buyer interest.
HUGE LEVEL: Marked as structural support; price may revisit on pullback.
📌 Analysis:
Market structure is bullish (higher highs, higher lows).
Liquidity above recent highs has been collected — possible fuel for a deeper move.
If price fails to hold above the trendline, look for a break and retest setup toward the lower green zone.
Nasdaq: Bull flag breakout on daily chart, testing ATHsBeen a while since I last posted. So figured I'd share this quick chart. Market undoubtedly have been incredibly volatile this month. However luckily, the Nasdaq has been forming bull flag on the daily chart. This follows a strong prior uptrend. The breakout took place today, sending the index to test ATHs.
Notable stocks making a move are names like NASDAQ:AMZN and NASDAQ:NVDA , mainly due to the broader market strength. Other indices, such as the S&P 500 ( SP:SPX ) also are breaking out as they form a similar bull flag pattern.
At ATHs, this is a deciding factor of where the market goes next. Either it bounces off to near-term support, or the market rallies to a new all-time high until next cooldown.
Note: not financial advice
Nas100/US100 Short Setup based on Fundamentals
Hello everyone. We have seen the Nasdaq form a new local top at the 22k area and is now heading back down.
There are many reasons why price is falling but remember this only a temporary sell off as the master trend on the highest time frame is up not down.
Today (Friday 20th June) is OPEX. $6.6 Trillion of options are set to expire today and the Max Pain level is 21,500. Price could drive there to render most options worthless.
Institutions and hedge funds have increasingly added short positions or are sitting on the side lines. Indicating lack of buying from the larger players for the time being.
Buying volume is lower than the selling volume at the top of this rally.
We have 2 weeks roughly until trump tarrifs are implemented and not many trade deals have been made.
Iran-Israel conflict with a possible US involvement.
FED is leaning towards a more hawkish approach due to tarrifs but says the US economy is still growing.
How I am looking at this for the near future. In the chart I have marked my entry, My SL, My Max TP and where I would take partials on the way down. I may also even scale in more if I see the opportunity.
Thanks for reading.
NSDQ100 bullish continuation supported at 21300Markets & Geopolitics:
Investors are holding back as Trump may try diplomacy before acting against Iran. Oil prices dropped, European stocks rose, and the dollar slipped.
Tensions remain high: Israel hit Iranian missile and nuclear sites, and Iran’s president demanded Israel stop unconditionally. Iran’s foreign minister is in Geneva for talks, and the country is speeding up oil exports.
Technology:
SoftBank’s founder Masayoshi Son wants to partner with TSMC to build a huge AI and robotics hub in Arizona. It’s unclear if TSMC will join, as it’s already investing $165 billion in the US.
US Politics & Immigration:
A court backed Trump’s use of the National Guard during LA protests, despite pushback from California’s governor. A deeper report looks at how immigration raids affect workers.
Trade & Business:
Canada may raise tariffs on US steel and aluminum if trade talks stall. Meanwhile, Temu’s US sales are falling as it cuts back on ads. A Fidelity manager says markets have likely priced in Trump’s tariff threats and sees opportunity in mid-sized companies.

Nasdaq100 currection into ATH OANDA:NAS100USD
i was asked, are we still in an up-trending bull market?
Assuming nothing fundamentally changes with the US tech market, technicals still point to a heavy up-trend, this implies a high likelihood of US100 making an ATH again, but we are likely to see a correction back to 300 dayMA before significant liquidity supports a break of ATHs.
