NQ Targets (09-08-22)

1526
NAZ out of channel today. Feel it will need to drop/pop to get near upper target. O/N may just take it higher and Open may sell it off some with DZ taking it back up. Push pull PA today at lower range, that changed mid day.

Key Levels

Note
Powell to talk tomorrow, I did not realize this. This may explain the Box below, appears or looked fake during the day. I believe we got another prop drop offset to counter his comments or markets reaction too. Could be wrong, I usually sniff this stuff out though. 12120 was tough R/S.
snapshot
Note
NAZ has a Diag TL to get passed.
snapshot
Note
Usually it struggles with these.
Note
12246 is support and under will drop to lows or more.
Note
Long above 12246, NAZ should pop some. Mopping lower range.
Note
12300 is target on Long, stop at 12240.
Note
12246 scalp to near 12300 and drop for test.
Note
Under 12246 is most likely a stop clean out for a long back up.
Note
Sniffed out fake move from yesterday, Chart above. 121 is base.
Note
Pivot at 160, most likely a Pop is next move.
Note
NAZ tested fake move zone and is popping, expected. Play lower range should NAZ fall back.
Note
Scalp not included, just major Signals.
snapshot
Note
Stay Long above 12200 or 12220
Note
12285 is KL at Top and strong resistance watch out for games around level.
Note
Doubt that it gets to upper target. 12400 more likely.
Note
Dead Zone did lift the drop. 12280 test maybe.
Note
Only 30 points above O/N high, Not much.
Note
Pull Back developing at 12370
Note
PB to 12350, bounce and Mop.
Note
How this works is at a Key Level's the NAZ will rotate around and pick up stops, once cleaned out (Sell & Buy Stops) the NAZ will head back to KL for another test. This whips the traders around and the Pro's take advantage of the Stop orders by heading in the opposite direction after you are out at the worst price. Yellow arrow is KL and Circle is Mop Area. Anticipate their play and follow them. Good Entry price gets pushed 50-100 points before the turn. This is many time just 20-40.
snapshot
Note
12370 was my PB Call and NAZ may go the KL if no bounce at 12350.

Note

Note
IDS 50 (right) 2nd line Grey, is usually the max drop and Long Entry with stop below KL and Add at KL. Scalp the Mop.
snapshot
Note
NAZ stopped at O/N high, No Gian in Open Sessions and this is weak.
Note
Hard to trade in Mid Mop, you are late.
Note
Pro's appear to be done rigging up, for now. 12284 hold may try for new high.
Note
Freefall and O/N and DZ did provide a nice Prop. On Long here, only if NAZ holds at KL and retests.
Note
snapshot
Note
KL's back up and play opposite direction 1st.
Note
Short signal at 12285
Note
snapshot
Note
Whippy and no real strength since Open.
Note
Testing 12285 from Under and under Top of 1st 30M.
Note
DZ is trying, sellers above may be difficult.
Note
Strange but bottom of Mop Zone is bouncing more.
Note
Magical DZ!
Note
Just like that, Top is not far from here.
Note
I am Flat, watching the Mop.
Note
Going to be Wicked!
Note
Feeling like an Up lift and decent Head Fake that may work out for the Riggers. Drop Fake 1st.
Trade closed manually
Slight Drop Fake, and Up we Go. 12244 has been holding all day. No selling at 2 2:15 CT is very odd, sign of rig work. Too strange for me, use a stop.
Note
Flat, it may all happen in final 2 minutes.
Note
Mr Retail trader, FOMO, BTD, makes it too easy for the Pro's and just confuses me with how easy it is at times. They buy high and higher and sell low and lower. Final 10 minutes will be your time to trade.
Note
The entire day has been strange, This close is what? The mid day sell off happened for a reason, could be smart money getting out. Strange closes and such just confuse things and are usually to up side. When things are off, go long or do not trade in the direction that you may think.
Note
Off course, Final 10 minutes. It will keep going.
Note
Same old tricks, NAZ gets propped 80 points in final 7 minutes and more in the O/N. The Open sold off, DZ lifted and then dropped only to get lifted again. Today could have been a drop test as opposed to Rigging. Thing is the drop today did not get bought quickly with strength and the close was pure prop. I see an air pocket developing that will give way. Prior to CPI, I mentioned similar tricks and we had that huge drop. Usually big drops do follow these types of rally weak days.
