Trade the Structure: NAS100 Possible Retrace & Buy OpportunityThe NAS 100 recently broke its market structure after a twist in trade policy—with Donald Trump delaying tariffs by 90 days—which sparked a robust rally. On the 4‑hour chart, we're looking for a bullish setup where the initial surge might be followed by a pullback into a sideways accumulation zone. This consolidation is expected to form a "spring" pattern—a brief retest that could trap sellers—followed by a clear break of market structure that signals a renewed upward move. The entry is ideally on the breakout, backed by supportive volume, while risk management is maintained with a stop-loss positioned just below the range if/when price retraces into support. 🚀📈💰

Tactical US100 Trading: Converting 1W Trend into 30m Opportunity📈 The US100 index is currently exhibiting a bearish trend pattern on the weekly timeframe. We can observe a notable rally followed by a retracement into equilibrium when analyzed against the previous price wing range. 🔎 Currently, the index is positioned at a premium level, creating an environment where short sellers might be building positions in anticipation of further downward movement. However, market dynamics remain highly sensitive to external influences, particularly unexpected statements and social media announcements from influential figures like Donald Trump. 🌊 With such market unpredictability in play, focusing on shorter timeframes provides more actionable intelligence. Price action signals offer clearer guidance in this volatile environment. ⚡ Trade Opportunity: The 30-minute chart reveals a defined trading range worth monitoring. A definitive break above this range could present an opportunity to enter long positions, while a breakdown below support might signal a favorable short entry point. 🎯 This breakout strategy enables traders to respond to actual market movements rather than attempting to forecast the broader market direction—a particularly valuable approach given the current unpredictable market landscape. ⚠️ DISCLAIMER: This analysis is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.

NAS100 (15min) – Bullish Entry Activated1. Symmetrical Triangle Formation Price was compressing inside a symmetrical triangle, with a series of lower highs and higher lows, indicating indecision and buildup of pressure. 2. Downside Fake-out (False Breakout) Price briefly broke below the lower trendline, suggesting a potential bearish breakout. However, there was no strong follow-through; instead, price quickly reclaimed the trendline and pushed back inside the structure. This is a classic fake-out, often trapping late sellers and providing liquidity for buyers. The rejection from the lows resulted in a long wick, signalling strong buying interest and failure to break down. 3. Aggressive Bullish Reaction After reclaiming the triangle support, price moved rapidly back to the top of the triangle. The next key move was a strong breakout above the upper trendline, confirming bullish intent. 4. Break and Retest Price action followed through with a clean breakout above resistance, followed by a minor pullback and retest of the broken trendline, which held as support. This retest offered a textbook entry point based on price action principles. 5. Bullish Structure Confirmation Post breakout, price formed a higher low and continued to make a higher high, confirming a trend shift. This structural change strengthens the bullish outlook.

NAS100 Playbook For The Week Friday closed around 18,783, likely in the midst of wrapping up Wave 5 on the 1H timeframe ⚠️ However, the daily Wave 5 still looks incomplete — my upside target remains around 19,732. Notably, price hasn’t tapped the Wave 3 daily high at 19,258, so there’s still room for one more push 📈 What I’m Watching: 🔻 Short-term pullback likely. Here are the zones I’m eyeing for potential shorts: 🔹 1H Wave 2 FVG zone → 18,098 🔹 Daily FVG / Wave 2 bottom → 17,573 I’ll be looking to short into one of those levels IF structure confirms, then potentially flip long once we see a solid move on the daily 💥 — Trading structure over signals — let the wave tell the story 🌊 #NAS100 #ElliottWave #MarketStructure #kushstratedFX

monday long opportunity for nasdaq1. From the daily chart perspective, I believe a short-term bottom has already formed, but the stop-loss level is too far for a long position, so it’s better to seek a low-entry buy. Last Friday, it reached a support level, but I wasn’t firm enough so i didn't enter. BUtT, we can PATIENTLY wait for a lower point to buy here. monday plan: On the 1-hour timeframe, resistance is at 19100-19300 (which is also the 4-hour resistance), and support is at 18200-17800. Look for buying opportunities on Monday, with real-time updates afterward, stop-loss at 17600. TARGET IS 19100-19300. If price goes up directly, i will wait 19100-19300 for a short opportunity instead.

NQ: Upcoming Weekly Analysis!Happy week! ST/Mt/Lt Outlook: SELL FA Analysis: 1- US is in or about to be in RECESSION. 2- US is isolating itself from the world economy; from the driver seat. 3- 90-days tariff pause: Market relief, recovery period; it's absolutely not a "buying the dip" strategy! 4- Inflation (CPI and PPI) are softening surprisingly!!! The explanation might be from a lower demand (considering the recession/economy slowing down); So this is not necessary the right softening inflation that the FED is looking for.   5- The FED will use the inflation softening to cut rates. 6- On the other hand, Tariffs will increase inflation. 7- Also, Consumer sentiment is at lowest level. 8- Bonds are skyrocketing (Follow U10y and U30y). Trump wants them down but market is pushing them up to make pressure on him to withdraw the tariffs. Hence, Trump will intervene with carrots and candies every time Y10y, e.g., breaks 4.5%. 9- Dollar is loosing foot whereas Gold is seeking the sky. Money is flying outside USA. Next week is soft in terms of economic data beside ECB meeting and Trump's tweets. TA Analysis: Weekly TF: a- As the outlook is Sell, here is a chart based on Waves theory. b- I consider Wave 1 completed and price is in retrace to complete Wave 2 (between 50-61.8 fib) (Yellow box) c- The current wave 2 might take few other days/weeks (at least 2). This wave 2 is supported by the 90-days pause, the Inflation softening and the FED cutting rate next meeting. (Note: I invite you to keep this chart close to your eyes:)) Daily TF: FY awareness, each wave has at least 3 moves: Initial swing; Retrace' and Impulsive swing. Wave 2 has already made both Initial and retrace swings. We should expect to see the last impulsive swing. From TA, the daily close was irrelevant; it was inside inside previous daily candles! Happy green week to Everyone!

Market on Edge: Tariffs, Tension, and Market Turmoil(The following is for informational purposes only and reflects personal opinions, not investment advice. Please exercise your own judgment before making any financial decisions.) In the coming weeks, the U.S. stock market is likely to remain driven by news flow, with investors closely watching the Trump administration’s policies on tariffs. Last week, market sentiment remained extreme fearful as the impact of the tariff measures continued to ripple through the markets. The U.S. bond market sell-off prompted President Trump to announce on Wednesday a 90-day delay on tariff implementation for countries other than China. This announcement triggered a sharp market rebound that forced many short sellers to cover their positions. However, as the tariff delay did not fundamentally resolve the underlying uncertainty surrounding trade policies, the market failed to sustain its gains on Thursday and Friday. At present, U.S.-China trade tensions continue to escalate, and no successful trade agreement has been announced yet. The market is seeking more concrete positive developments—such as tax cuts from the Trump administration, or the signing of trade agreements with major economies that include tariff reductions—before uncertainty can be lifted and a meaningful rebound achieved. For now, it is better to remain patient and let the news develop, with minimal trading activity. Market direction will largely depend on future actions from the Trump administration and the Federal Reserve, making it difficult to rely on technical analysis alone to determine the market trend. Currently, the 19,988–20,382 range serves as a critical resistance zone. A breakout above 20,382, sustained over time, would indicate that bulls are gaining control. Conversely, if the price stays consistently below 20,275, it suggests that bears remain dominant. Until clear, favorable news emerges, further downside in the market is possible. However, shorting at these levels also carries significant risk, as any policy shift or positive announcement from Trump could trigger another sharp rebound—similar to what occurred last Wednesday.

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.

Likely Bullish Gap at Open Followed by a Sharp Drop📈 US100 – Likely Bullish Gap at Open Followed by a Sharp Drop 📉 On the 15-minute chart of the US100, we can see a corrective structure forming within an ascending channel, likely representing wave (B) of a larger correction. The price is currently near the top boundary of the channel, around 18,872.1. 🔍 Key Technical Highlights: Clear prior bearish impulse. Ongoing corrective move within a rising channel. ABC correction forming inside the channel. Potential rising wedge, suggesting bullish exhaustion. 📌 Main Hypothesis: I expect the market to open with a bullish gap, potentially reaching or briefly exceeding the 18,872.1 level, before starting a stronger downward move toward 17,411.8, which aligns with a key support zone and broader trendline confluence. 📊 Key Levels: Resistance: 18,872.1 (ideal reversal area) Target Support: 17,411.8 ⚠️ Alternative Scenario: A strong breakout and consolidation above the channel could invalidate the bearish setup and suggest a continuation to the upside. 💡 Conclusion: This move would fit well within a broader corrective pattern, offering a technical pullback before any potential continuation. I’ll be watching the open closely for confirmation. 💼 Trade Idea: 🔹 Strategy: Short from resistance 🔹 Suggested Entry: 18,850 – 18,880 (potential gap zone and upper channel resistance) 🔹 Stop Loss: Above 18,920 (outside channel and above recent highs) 🔹 Take Profit: 17,500 – 17,450 (key support zone / technical target) 🔹 Risk/Reward Approximation: 1:4 🧠 Wait for price action confirmation (rejection, bearish engulfing candle, or intraday structure break before entering).

To new ATHs?After a sharp drop, the price has been rejected at 16300. In my opinion, the fall has nothing to do with the presidency of the United State, rather a perfect opportunity for the investors to buy the dip. The last two HLs on monthly time frame were printed in March 2020 ( Worldwide Pandemic) and Oct 2022. Since then, Nasdaq has been going up steadily and making HHs and HLs on daily and weekly. Now, in April 2025 another HL has been printed on monthly and I think that market might be on it's way to make new ATHs in coming weeks and months and even years.

NASDAQ100Perfect — now we’re on the 4H timeframe, which is great for refining entries. Let’s break this down again with the three frameworks: ⸻ 1. Smart Money Concept (SMC) Key Elements: • CHoCH (Change of Character) — clearly marked after price broke above a short-term structure, shifting market sentiment bullish on 4H. • EQH (Equal Highs) — potential liquidity resting above; smart money may target these. • BOS (Break of Structure) — further confirms internal bullish structure. • Order Block (OB) or Demand Zone in the green box (~17,700–18,200)** — price respected this zone strongly after BOS, indicating smart money accumulation. SMC Bias (4H): • Currently bullish, moving from demand to premium pricing. • Price is forming higher highs and higher lows post-CHoCH. • Liquidity pool above EQH near 19,000 is likely next target. • Potential long re-entry if price returns to demand zone (18,000–18,200). ⸻ 2. Elliott Wave View (Micro Count on 4H) • If this is part of Wave 4 retracement on the Daily, this current 4H rally could be subwave A or B of the corrective structure (flat, zigzag, triangle). • Alt. view: This may be Wave 1 of a new impulsive move upward if macro bearish bias gets invalidated. • Current price action looks impulsive — strong vertical move (potential Wave 1 or 3). If impulsive structure: • Wave 1: 17,000 → 18,900 • Wave 2: pullback to ~18,100 (near OB) • Wave 3 underway — targetting >19,000 ⸻ 3. Dow Theory (on 4H) • Short-term trend is now up: Higher high confirmed post-BOS, and higher low formed. • To maintain bullish structure, price must not break below 17,900 (demand zone). • Confirmation of strength if we break above 19,000 — forming a higher high again. ⸻ Trade Idea (4H Setup) — Bullish SMC Entry Entry (Buy Limit): 18,150 (mid-demand zone) SL: 17,750 (below OB) TP1: 19,000 (liquidity above EQH) TP2: 19,800 – 20,200 (Daily supply zone) RR Ratio: ~1:3+ ⸻ Would you like a tighter setup on 1H for sniper entry, or are you trading swing/position from here

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. 💬 Final thoughts: You don’t need 100 trades. You need 1 well-managed setup and a calm mind. 📲 Follow me to keep learning how to trade structure, not stress.
