Good Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: Neutral around 21900. 21700 was the lowest I expected and we printed 21716.5. Weekly close around 21900 is the most likely outcome for me. We have no acceptance above 21900 and none below 21800 as well. A trend day tomorrow would surprise me.
current market cycle: trading range
key levels: 21700 - 22100
bull case: Bulls want to close the week above 21800 to print a green one. They had spikes above 21900 but nothing else. They are still somewhat in control because we are not making meaningful lower lows and are still at the highs but price action is neutral since last week so no side has the clear advantage. Weekly close above 22000 would be a surprise to me.
Invalidation is below 21680.
bear case: Bears have to close the gap down to 21680 if they want more downside. Until then they have to fade everything above 21900 since that has been profitable for a week now. A weekly close below 21800 would be a decent sell signal going into next week and a clear break of the wedge. Problem for the bears is the same as for bulls on the other side. On the 4h chart we have big tails above and below bars. Market is completely in balance around 21850ish and therefor I expect a weekly close around that price.
Invalidation is above 22100.
short term: Completely neutral. New high or low would surprise me tomorrow. I expect a choppy session where mean reversion will likely be king.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-05-24: Will update this section more after the coming week but in general the thesis is as for dax. Down over the summer and sideways to up into year end. I don’t think the lows for this year are in.
trade of the day: Longing 21730 because it was support all week and the obvious trade.

Nasdaq Futures: Tariff Talk, Tech Fatigue Turn TideHaving surged more than 20% from the April lows, we could be nearing a turning point for Nasdaq 100 futures.
Bullish momentum is showing signs of shifting lower, while Wednesday’s inverted hammer candle—on a day when tech stocks were given every excuse to rally thanks to the soft U.S. inflation report and subsequent decline in Treasury yields—warns the rally may be running out of steam.
With Donald Trump talking about setting firm tariff rates for individual nations within the next two weeks, we’re already seeing signs of weakness in futures, bolstering the prospect for a three-candle evening star pattern being completed. Sitting in a rising wedge, directional risks seem to be skewing lower.
If the price breaks and closes beneath wedge support, it would create a setup where shorts could be established with a stop above Wednesday’s high to protect against a resumption of the bullish trend.
21436 is a minor support level that screens as an initial target, although 20800—where the price bounced strongly from on May 23—makes for a more appealing case from a risk-reward perspective.
A push and close above 21969—a minor resistance level established earlier this year—would invalidate the bearish bias.
Good luck!

Potential Head and Shoulders PatternHow to identify head and shoulders patterns?
We’ll use the current example from the Nasdaq or the US markets. We can quite clearly observe that a potential head and shoulders formation is developing. This means that if the price breaks below the neckline, we may see a deeper correction from the April low.
I will go through the rules on how to identify a head and shoulders formation.
We will also cover how to recognize when the pattern is invalid — meaning the market may continue pushing above its all-time high.
Finally, we’ll discuss how we can position ourselves early, before waiting for a break below the neckline for confirmation.
Let’s first go through the rules of identifying head and shoulders with rules stated.
Next, how to recognize when the pattern is invalid, the market continues pushing above its all-time high. The key is in the closing price above the all-time high.
Lastly, how we can position ourselves early, before waiting for a break below the neckline for confirmation.
Of course, we can wait for the break to come as a confirmation, but usually I would like to be a little more active than being passive. So this is just for your reference. It may not be for everyone.
This is where I always get into its micro view by first acknowledging where is the macro is, which we had just discussed. Please refer to the following video:
So what do you think that the market likely or unlikely to fulfill this head and shoulders set-up?
I’d like to hear your thoughts on this.

Ether Leads Markets HigherThe crypto markets move to the upside continued in today's session, with Ether futures leading the way higher trading up over 8% while Bitcoin rose nearly 1.5%. There has been significant strength from the Crypto markets over the last few weeks, and Ether is now trading right near the 50% retracement mark from the December 2024 high price when looking at a daily chart. Along with Bitcoin and Ether, the Solana market also saw a sharp rise over 5% on the session while XRP saw slight losses.
Outside of the Crypto markets, the Equity Indices traded slightly higher near 0.5% with Tesla leading the Nasdaq higher on the session. This is the third session in a row with a new higher high price for the S&P and could support a strong market at these levels. There have also been continued talks between President Trump and China about tariff policy, and the outcomes could add significant volatility to markets globally when resolved.

Nasdaq Potential Daily ReversalIPDA Speaking + Contract closure we can see speed take place to reach BSL outside IPDA range but why whould the just past 20 days HRLR instead of moving higher with speed
Because of Intermarket striction
maybe to build more stops there but it would be greater in terms of liquidity efficiency to place a fake D high in here and reverse, take the liquidity lower on D HRLR and then continue higher to reach 22,672.00.
The key here is: do we breach above the D SIBI or do we react from it.
one of two will unlock the next 20 to 40 trading days of delivery.

Live Paper Trading Using my own strategy. I was playing a break of a downtrend with OB at certain levels, I waited for a confirmation to get into the trade.
I let the trade play out to long i could have taken profits around the $110 mark, I wanted to see how far i could ride it until it reversed on me. I need to learn how to scale out as well i could have scaled out 4 out of my 8 contracts and rid the other 4. Im taking this learning expiernce by taking profits sooner rather than letting the chop take my gains away. I would say i had a great entry maybe 30 seconds to soon but i caught a 5 minute move. I need to take note that if Im going to scalp just make it a 3-5 minute play.
2025-06-10 - priceactiontds - daily update - nasdaqGood Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: Range is 21500 - 22000 for a week now. Neutral but selling new highs and buying every pullback has been profitable for quite a while now. It will end some day but likely not today. Bulls finally want the 22000 print and after so many tries they still could not print it. It’s painful to watch. Fading the extremes was good for a month now and I have no bigger opinion on where we might close this week. Anything below 21700 would be a huge bear surprise and could mean the bull wedge break to the downside and next target would be 21500.
current market cycle: trading range
key levels: 21500 - 22000
bull case: Bulls expect 22000 and buy every pullback. Their problem is, that they have tried so so many times now and could still not print it. How many more times will they try? The wedge will break eventually and I highly doubt it will be to the upside. Bulls can not hold long at the highs since pullbacks are 130-500 points big. Look for longs on decent pullbacks once bears give up. Multiple times below 21800 today. When we print 22000, what are the odds of this going higher for 22500 or new ath above 22688? No idea but looking at the wedge and the structure since April, longing momentum makes sense but that’s it.
Invalidation is below 21390.
bear case: Just imagine cpi comes in hot… Bears can only dream. They are doing fine selling new highs and scalping for 100+ points. They are too weak to print lower lows, so don’t bet on them. Once we go below 21700 again, we can look for better targets and market is likely neutral again. Until then, try not to get trapped.
Invalidation is above 22100.
short term: Likely bearish around 21950-22000 for another pullback into 21750/21800. Still expecting 22k to get hit tomorrow. Rough guess: If we move strongly above 22080ish, we could see an acceleration upwards due to short covering from hell but don’t bet on it. Only go with the momentum if it happens.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-05-24: Will update this section more after the coming week but in general the thesis is as for dax. Down over the summer and sideways to up into year end. I don’t think the lows for this year are in.
trade of the day: Longing 21800 was good so many times since Friday.

Will NASDAQ Continue Its Bullish Momentum Next Week?
- Current Price: 21761.79
- Key Insights: NASDAQ continues to exhibit robust bullish sentiment, driven by
technology sector strength. Investors should watch resistance at 22,385 and
key support near 21,414 for directional cues. While upside pressures remain,
risks of a short-term pullback could materialize if overbought conditions
persist.
- Price Targets:
- Target 1 (T1): 22,275
- Target 2 (T2): 22,385
- Stop Level 1 (S1): 21,600
- Stop Level 2 (S2): 21,414
- Recent Performance: The NASDAQ has shown resilience, maintaining its upward
trajectory amid potential headwinds such as weaker momentum signals and
geopolitical trade developments. Technology stocks, specifically
semiconductor firms, have powered market gains, buoyed by optimism in the
sector's outlook.
- Expert Analysis: Analysts agree on the likelihood of continued upside provided
key resistance levels are cleared. However, caution surrounds potential
reversals due to overbought technical conditions. A pullback might occur
within the next 3–6 weeks, reinforcing the importance of monitoring
divergence signals.
- News Impact: Optimistic US-China trade comments and semiconductor growth have
supported the rally. Broadcom's recent earnings could temper enthusiasm,
serving as a potential inflection point for the index's short-term
trajectory.
