Long

Updated

NQ Weekly Range (03-06-23)

NAZ with another U Turn near a Danger Zone. Push Pull price action ended (Thursday), the O/N lift pumps the NAZ pre Friday Open and the BTD/FOMO's step in. Break out from the Diablo TL (the NAZ may retest). I will provide a weekly forecast with limited daily updates until my member/private daily (intraday) service is running. How to play the week: White border box levels are high probability targets, Green lines at value area tops/bottoms, Yellow are KL's targets/opposite direction trades (after confirm), White Strong Long (after confirm). General look Long above 12250 1st and 140 2nd, Short below/near 12700. Yellow arrow is expected range. Chart below will show the typical point movement above/below Diablo (Orange TL).

Note: For those that follow, after 3 years and 500 Daily TV Post's, I will be ending the Daily Forecast & Intraday free service. I am moving to a private service that will use TradingView Charts, including my IDS Indicators. Message me if you have interest. I will continue some weekly post's through the end of March or until new program is ready. Thanks for following and all your support.

Note

IDS250, Drop/Pop to 12150-00 may be in the works.

Note

IDS250, Red lines are TLX's (very reliable reversing targets or targets). NAZ is still is downtrend or may drop some prior to next move higher.

Note

Falling Bridge update 300 point range.

Note

Review my 3/1 post, this full move played out on 3/3. The 500 point (3/2 low) move was a set up from 12140. This would make it a 200 point net gain, look for 12140 to be retested when/if 12240 retest does not hold.

Note

Open Range 12300-12425

Note

So far the initial drop near KL 12273 moved to TLX 12321 and above, retested TLX and now trying for KL 12425. NAZ is balanced in price and 12360 to 12320 seems to be solid VA Value Area, Expect a Pull Back to mid VA prior or during Open.

Note

Watch the Channel movement. Or fall out of channel.

Note

Mid Open Range call, Play range. Balanced day so sideways. Push Pull needs to show up for strong short call.

Note

Back later, limited calls.

Note

12425 HIT, may see pull back to 12400 -380.

Note

12465, Ticks turning negative. Watch for push pull and trail Long.

Note

12465 did PB to 12380. Look for lift back up some.

Note

380 retest failure will go to 340

Note

420 then 470 should 340 hold. 380 - 340 retesting now.

Note

NAZ back at 12340 and above TLX. Drop test.

Note

Monday was a balanced day. The stall and Tick change at 12465 will be retested. 12250 should be next support.

Note

NAZ could not hold in the channel, will use KL's for next few days.

Note

Washington Street to step in with words to boost the markets back up. Many new followers in past few weeks, so let me explain. The two boxes are Gov't Issued news events (fed day, CPI) that provided all the lift during the period. The follow days after just aimlessly go sideway to lower. Powell talk for 2 days and say whatever, the typical result is a bounce - then drop. The only curveball is the 2 day pop (could be drop offset to Powell Drop?) that lifted the NAZ and yesterday rejection. Anyway, today should stay between 12250 - 12450, at anytime we may see a move in either direction out of this range. The fact that the O/N did not prop is not good for the upside as most of the gains are developed through O/N props prior to the Open Session.

Note

The best indicator lately is with IDS or range bar charts you can see the push/pull price action show up. This came in yesterday near 12465 and stayed into the close. Do not go Long if you see it after a stalled/failed rally. I was expecting a pop near 12340-80 and since 380 rejected in O/N, the lift may be off/limited. Depends if we see push/pull in regular session.

Note

TLX Holding, Drop today and Thursday was Technical bounce with Friday a Short Covering Rally and Monday a Rollover.

Note

12250 hit

Note

12170 next

Note

Got 180 back 250

Note

stay Short under 250

Note

250 hit

Note

250 retest

Note

TLX then drop

Note

TLX -250 should be range

Note

TlX Rejection

Note

In Range is Strong Short at no Pass of TLX

Note

Drop seems orderly with limited Push/Pull. P/P needs to get violent for a big drop. Powell just needs to say something like "good inflation" and this will fly up. This could be tomorrow. Above low is next clue and Dead Zone is upward bias.

Note

Recent TLX rejection is Strong Short test and may try for 12140, weekly low and strong Long.

Note

12170 Hit

Note

12210 retest, above 140

Note

Above 12130 you could try long to 210 and 250. No hit of 130 is signal.

Note

Getting near a Long trade Zone, look for move back up near 130-100. May be tomorrow or O/N.

Note

12140 Hit.

Note

12130-00 may be level to watch.

Note

KL's for tomorrow and O/N

Note

Updated O/N Range and KL's for tomorrow 1210 - 1900, Diablo is back in play. Below 12030

Note

Helpful note: Use a intraday color code for session times. Mark 1st 30m, 9:30 - 12 Chicago CT and final hour. You will notice that the Dead Zone 9:30-12 the NAZ will travel in a range and test for next move. The O/N is similar. Both of these may/will confuse/trick you into changing you direction. 1 way days also have slow to strange DZ's. Today's DZ did provide some points to trade but did set up the Strong Short after trying for the TLX a 2nd time.

Note

My colors are below, I break out the 1st 30 into 2 15m, DZ, close and O/N.

Note

Tuesday O/N 1st moves, 1 will play then target 2nd arrow.

Note

That did work out well, look Long today above 12140 or weekly low forecasted range. May update some later, if I can. Will be in and out of office today.

Note

Open Range today, 12140 will be retested. New follower's, take profit at targets and reload. The only way to play this index.

Note

12150 retested, may try for 12180-85, no pass look short.

Note

12150 retest hit 185, range is 12220 to 12150, needs to break out.

Note

1st move may be to 12240 should NAZ stay above 12160

Note

12100 Long entry mentioned yesterday and 160 above did get to 12220, closing Longs.
Will reload on Pull Backs.

Note

PB to 210 and 170 is likely.

Note

210 hit

Note

Play DZ Range.

Note

12170 hit

Note

12150 1st target, 12110 2nd

Note

Careful on Long DZ with typical final move higher, may drop. 160 did pop. Long above high and Short below. 12294 target high

Note

DZ will try and clean out stops and then redirect. Drop to 160 was Long stop clean out and doing it again.

Note

Inside Open range 1st 30M, 12130 is likely by EOD. Back Later.

Note

DZ Whipsaw, no real change/high sine 1st 2 minutes of Open.

Note

180 is POC, I posted this pre Open and bottom may be hit. 12160, mentioned above is Long. I did not think that it would look like a flat edge, kind of strange how it is holding. Feel break blow will drop to 12075.

Note

Range now is 12110 - 12230, NAZ will try for one of these.

Note

100 point range day, next move will be a big one. Most likely in next day or so.

Note

NAZ hit and closed at 12230, O/N will prop, lower range is 12110 should a pass above 12230 fail. Most likely the NAZ will stay above 12110 and head up until Friday morning.

Note

Look 1st for PB to 12180, then 110. last 2 days may be a sideways MOP up for a Long Run Up. No PB, then O/N Prop Magic is all over it.

Note

PB to 12180 has retested for pop back up. Looking for O/N Prop rally into tomorrow. 12110 would be next add with stop 30 back. Should see pop at EU Open, this is how it is usually done. Only trade if you can loose the Stop on this as I just going with a pattern trade or wild hair out of my (you know what). Will check in the morning. You should have the points to spare on this, need to do these from time to time.

Note

NAZ will try for 12295 or 12125 next. Kind of how it works. May hit 12125 then bounce up or hit 12295 then drop to 12125.

Note

12140 held and w on 30M, should go back to 12210

Note

12160 is KL for NAZ to stay above.

Note

The idea of a Long is based on the Turd move yesterday. All buying and no selling. This was a Prop Drop Offset to counter this move. NAZ has held at 12140-60 and seems that it is being held up, just should of dropped by now. Or, it is going to seriously tank.

Note

Range for Open and KL's

Note

12210 Hit

Note

NAZ got to 12275, near Long target of 294. Expect some pull back and the O/N high may be the high of the day.

Note

12290 hit, watch drop here

Note

may see 170 retest under 12290, Look Long and wait for DZ Prop action to continue.

Note

TLX Hit

Note

12420 is doable, go back to my statement about O/N inti Friday.

Note

Take Profit on Long at 12320 and above for now. 320 should be stop on Long, may see PB to 290

Note

Today a PB may not return back up so easily. Back later, Out for rest of morning.

Note

12290 PB, may go to 240 next.

Note

12350 - 12240 is range.

Note

Heavy Push/Pull, may see quick drop if Ticks stay negative.

Note

12245 Hit

Note

12280 retest for Long or Short at rejection.

Note

12280 retest from 240, needs to stay above.

Note

12280 rejected, range is 240-280

Note

240-280 is a battle between 2 value area levels, move out will be big.

Note

Below 12108 is outside day reversal, may see this by EOD.

Note

Just a wicked day. Now under Bottom 1st 30M.

Note

Near PB at 12170, mentioned earlier, May Bounce here.

Note

Crazy but go back to O/N play of 294 or 110, mentioned that whichever was hit 1st would try the other. That may be playing out here. If 12110 does get hit, look for a bounce.

Note

Its a Flash Crash!!

Note

12110 HIT

Note

Try a Long at 12075 and above. 50 point stop. This could be drop test prior to move back up, I have seen these before. Worth a try and only if you have points to loose.

Note

12075 retest.

Note

No lift, at all.

Note

In weekly Forecast in Strong Long Zone.

Note

Stopped.

Note

11964 may hold.

Note

Was a Flash Crash, good to see this and a Hold is a Buy.

Note

Long at 11996, 50 stop

Note

Adding Long at 12000

Note

Just games

Note

Dropping half at 12025

Note

12075 is target

Note

Got back stop hit.

Note

Stop at 12020 and Break even. Will let run into O/N Prop Magic.

Note

So Orange Line is Strong Long at Hold and Strong Short Under. Stopped at 12020.

Note

Outside Day Reversal, will update tomorrow. Tons of Failed Auctions above that will needs to be retested.

Note

KL's for O/N and Friday. Shaded are Failed Auction Zones and are reliable as targets and retest zones.

Note

Yellow Line is recent Prop Base, expect it to hold and supply a U Turn. The Danger Zone is below and that will be defended.

Note

You can see that the O/N is usually very different than Open on down days in Open. May see the same tomorrow. May see drop in O/N pre Open with in DZ and lift near EOD. Highly doubt we see same way PA, that would be just crazy.

Note

NQ1 and current Contract is way off with pricing, KL's will not match. FYI.

Note

Updated KL's Current Contract

Note

NQ1 is off 100 points. Current contract hit 11930 (White line) and Diablo (Orange TL) in forecast/post. We had a 80 point 30 minute bounce at 1am CT off 11920. I will be surprised if the NAZ goes lower today and stays lower, I am just expecting the typical U Turn away from the Danger Zone. New followers you may want to review the TTZ (trading time zones) post, this will cover the O/N and Dead Zone periods and how they prop the NAZ.

Note

Yellow arrows are the prop moves, recent one will fall back to 12000 and then try for shaded area above.

Note

Notice how the Prop moves erase the entire O/N drop and are a fraction of the time. So if we get a sell off, you can expect the lift to follow or NAZ gets propped in minutes at PR release and that is the prop, then falls back lower during Open only to be propped back up during the next O/N sessions.

Note

Shaded hit, back to 12000 now.

Note

NAZ falling back now. I am actually trying to develop the 1st Prop or Fake move indicator. Just surprised that nobody has done this will all these fake moves that trick everybody.

Note

Watch Shaded prior to Open, Lower is unlikely or maybe on Knee Jerk.

Note

Long at 12000, 100 point Target take profit, No stop. Long at 11900, 100 point stop and 200 point take profit, 100 point Stop to cover both trade. Going with Prop O/N Knee Jerk 1st, may be wrong just the pattern forever.

Note

Diablo to Break or Bounce when NAZ does go lower.

Note

Good on 1st trade 100 points profit

Note

Always go with the U Turn when in Danger. Now may fall back near Open for next trade.

Note

12115, 12130, 12160 are tests above.

Note

PB to 12050 is likely

Note

12115 is yesterday VA, NAZ trying to get through. Rejection will be a drop.

Note

Cancelling my 2nd Long trade for now.

Note

Range is Set, play it and I will be back mid morning.

Note

12085 is KL, NAZ will struggle near.

Note

Notice the Prop lifts (3) and then the slow decline. This will continue until the Long trades hold and the BTD/FOMO's so up.

Note

11900-20 cloud be a Long, watch the level.

Note

Pop to 12940 likely.

Note

PB 11985 and bounce

Note

11900 Long may fall back some.

Note

Long needs to pass 12028

Note

12085 is next test and short under

Note

12028 Rejected

Note

11960 - 20 is next zone.

Note

12085 Rejection should push to lower Zone mentioned.

Note

Again, notice the DZ flip flop. This just is busywork and offsets the drop.

Note

All this movement and NAZ will be Flat to positive today, watch. Back Later.

Note

closing Short at 11830

Note

This may go to 11600 at no hold here

Note

930 and 980 on lift or re short at stall

Note

860 is retest

Note

850 retested 830 hold is long scalp.

Note

860 Hit, 930

Note

You have to add 20-30 points at KL's and watch Ticks.

Note

11810 is KL, above Long Short below

Note

860 is key to Long

Note

bid to ask spreads are wide, will fly

Note

inside 11860, bottom 1st 30M

Note

got to 910

Note

910 or 795, flat. Scalped to 900 a few times.

Trade closed: target reached

final 10M may bounce some, great day and maybe another 200 lower.

Note

Range 11900-11600

Note

Monday

Note

KL's

Note

Amazing, NAZ already 100 points off the low. Even after the close. These are the easiest trades and the pump will be on in O/N.
