NAS100USD: Bearish Continuation Likely After Liquidity GrabGreetings Traders!
As we transition into the New York session, increased market volatility is expected. Currently, NAS100USD is showing signs of potential further bearish continuation. This outlook is supported by a draw on liquidity toward downside liquidity pools and a notable inefficiency—an unfilled gap left earlier in the week.
Key Observations:
1. Unfilled Gap – A Draw on Liquidity:
The market has left behind an inefficiency in the form of a price gap, which typically acts as a magnet for price. Although such inefficiencies are not always filled immediately, they often become targets for future price movement as the market seeks balance.
2. Reclaimed Order Block Breach – Engineered Liquidity:
Price has recently broken below a reclaimed order block that was serving as a temporary resistance zone. This indicates that the market was hunting for liquidity at a relatively premium price—above a key resistance level. The presence of relatively equal highs in this area further supports the notion that this was an engineered liquidity zone.
Engineered liquidity refers to zones designed by smart money to entice retail participation. Once sufficient liquidity is gathered, institutions then drive price through these zones to execute large sell orders at a premium.
3. Downside Targets – Liquidity Pools and Gaps:
With resistance now confirmed as engineered liquidity, smart money is likely to shift focus to the downside. Key targets include liquidity pools at lower price levels and the aforementioned inefficiency, which represents an area of fair value—ideal for profit-taking and potential continuation of institutional selling.
Trading Strategy:
Monitor price for confirmation within any short-term retracements. Selling opportunities aligned with institutional intent may present themselves as price gravitates toward the inefficiency and deeper liquidity zones.
Stay focused, remain patient, and ensure all trades align with your trading plan.

DAX Wave Analysis – 24 April 2025- DAX broke resistance area
- Likely to rise to resistance level 22500.00
DAX index is under the bullish pressure after it broke the resistance area between resistance level 21500.00 (top of the previous correction A) and the 61.8% Fibonacci correction of the downward ABC wave (2) from March.
The breakout of this resistance area accelerated the active impulse wave (3) from the start of April.
Given the clear daily uptrend, DAX index can be expected to rise toward the next resistance level 22500.00 (which stopped wave B of the earlier ABC wave (2)).

US500 LIVEHello friends
Given the price rise and correction we had, we can open a position with capital and risk management.
*Trade safely with us*
How important is the time frame when you investWe’ve been discussing the possibility of a recession in the US for some time now, along with tariffs and the impact of Trump’s policies. This has led to declines of up to 25% in the US NASDAQ index, sparking panic among many investors. When investing for the long term, it’s important to be aware of where we are within the same time frame as our investment horizon—a 25% drop in the short term doesn’t necessarily have to be a concern for long-term investors.
In this case, we can see that the NASDAQ has established a massive uptrend over the years. As long as the main trend levels remain intact, we can’t even say the market is moving sideways. The market has provided one of the best opportunities to enter the NASDAQ, bouncing right off previous highs and demonstrating the strength of the trend.
By buying in the previous highs or near the long term trendline, means a very low risk with returns up to 30%.
Order Block on lower time frame.A short rally to the upside is expected, after an order block on the lower time. If the target is reached and the price closes on the 15m candle above the OB line, we may see a bigger push to the up side.
US NAS100Preferably suitable for scalping and accurate as long as you watch carefully the price action with the drawn areas.

Trade Update Based on NASDAQ PredictionsThis is an update on my trade idea that I posted a few hours ago for NASDAQ. Made over $6,912 on all positions!
Current Analysis for NASDAQ I'm currently looking for short term sells for price to make a correction and fill the inefficiency. After that is completed, I'll be looking for Long term buys targeting the 19,233.9 level and afterwards I'll be targeting -27.0 percent level on the fibs.
ALERT: EUR Broke Out of Long-term Downtrend Vs Currency Basket This is the aggregate EUR index against several currencies called EXY (like DXY)
Large downtrend from 2008 was breached this quarter to the upside.
The first trigger of trend weakness occurred in the summer of 2017
when EUR index crossed over mid-line and for the rest of time
the price has remained there.
In 2021, the price has shown a false break to the upside but failed to progress further.
That top is the nearest target for the price at 123, which will book +9% profit.
The next barrier is located at the top of 2014 of 140 with +24% gain.
US30idea about the trade is very clear.
1d swing is bearish.
1d fractals is bearish.
4h price movementum gone up takan-out liquidity ,now gave 4h fractals shift towards downside . I m in a sell.
DAX INTRADAY important support at 21118The DAX40 continues to exhibit bullish sentiment, aligning with the prevailing short term uptrend. Recent price action suggests that the index experienced an oversold rally, which subsequently spiked above near a key resistance zone — the previous intraday consolidation level around 21,532.
This area now serves as a critical pivot point. A corrective pullback “Gap Close” to 21,532, followed by renewed buying pressure, would likely confirm a bullish reversal, with upside targets at:
22,276 – Near-term resistance
22,657 – Medium-term resistance
22,903 – Long-term resistance level
However, if price breaks and closes firmly below 21,532 on a daily basis, the bullish scenario would be invalidated. In that case, the DAX40 could extend corrective pullback toward:
21,118 – Immediate support
20,800 – Major downside target
Conclusion
The bias remains bullish above 21,532, with rallies from that level offering potential long opportunities. A daily close below 21,532, however, would shift sentiment and open the door for bearish continuation toward lower support levels.

NAS100USD: Reclaimed Order Block Signals Further DownsideGreetings Traders!
In today’s analysis of NAS100USD, we observe a momentary shift into bearish institutional order flow, confirmed by the formation of successive lower lows. This structural development signals the potential for continued downside movement.
Key Observations:
Bearish Institutional Order Flow:
The consistent break of lows supports a bearish bias, providing a framework for seeking short opportunities in alignment with institutional intent.
Confluent Bearish Arrays:
Key bearish arrays—including the mitigation block and a reclaimed order block—are currently aligned. These zones, if respected, could serve as strong resistance and provide high-probability entry areas for short positions.
Trading Strategy:
Should price retrace into these arrays and provide confirmation, we can look to enter sell positions with the expectation of further downside aligned with the prevailing order flow.
Stay disciplined, remain patient, and trade only with confirmation.
Kind Regards,
The Architect

NIFTY SHORT SETTING UPSimilar to my previous post on BN, Nifty is now setting up for a short trade.
Notice that the index is struggling to make fresh highs.
Notice the Lower Highs being formed.
In my analysis, if we get a negative candle closing below 24,250 it can lead to short covering and we can have a snap back to the mean.
This is again a Mean Reversion set up that I'm targeting similar to BN.
DOW JONES INDEX (US30): Another Gap to Watch
US30 is on its way to fill the gap up that was formed 2 days ago.
It looks like the market will reach a gap opening level soon.

My directional Bias for NASDAQ/USTECH/NAS100/NQAnd stated before in my previous post. This is my idea behind the direction of nasdaq for the next few days. I will be maintaining a bullish bias with an open mind to take advantage of short term sells to fill the inefficiency.
US100 Triangle Squeeze – Breakout or Fakeout?Hey Traders,
Price is currently consolidating within a symmetrical triangle, squeezing between rising support and descending resistance.
Two potential bullish scenarios on watch:
🔹 Scenario 1:
Breakout above triangle resistance with confirmation → Potential rally toward the 19,200–19,600 zone.
🔹 Scenario 2:
Short-term rejection at resistance → Pullback to triangle support or the 18,370 level → Then bounce for continuation to the upside.
If the triangle breaks to the downside, I’ll be watching the 18,000 and 17,600 demand zones for a potential reaction.
📌 Key Levels:
Resistance: 18,800 / 19,200 / 19,600
Support: 18,370 / 18,000 / 17,600

US500 Day Trade Setup: Liquidity Pools, Gaps & What’s Next?The US500 (S&P 500) 4-hour chart recently showed a gap up, followed by a strong move into the previous range highs. This price action likely triggered buy stops and tapped into buy-side liquidity above the prior swing highs. After this liquidity sweep, the market has pulled back and is now consolidating just above a visible gap, which sits slightly below the current price level.
From a Wyckoff perspective, this resembles an upthrust after distribution, where price runs stops above resistance before reversing. The current pullback suggests a potential test of the gap area, which often acts as a magnet for price, especially if there’s unmitigated liquidity left behind.
Using ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts, the recent move above the range high can be seen as a raid on buy-side liquidity, followed by a retracement. The gap below current price represents an imbalance, and ICT traders often look for price to revisit such inefficiencies before resuming the trend.
🌐 Fundamental & Sentiment Backdrop
Recent data shows the S&P 500 has experienced a sharp correction in April, with a monthly drop of about 5.75% from the previous month, but it remains up 6.8% year-over-year (YCharts). The market has been volatile, with sentiment shifting due to macroeconomic concerns, including renewed trade tensions (notably new tariffs), a mixed earnings season, and questions about the Federal Reserve’s next moves (IG).
Wall Street analysts have recently revised their year-end targets lower, citing increased risks from tariffs and slowing earnings growth (Yahoo Finance). The VIX is elevated (28.45), and the put/call ratio is above 1, indicating heightened hedging and caution among market participants (YCharts).
🏦 Wyckoff & ICT Concepts in Play
🏗️ Wyckoff: The recent rally into the highs and subsequent pullback fits the upthrust after distribution narrative. If the market fails to reclaim the highs, a move back into the gap (potentially as a sign of weakness) is likely.
💧 ICT: The gap below current price is a clear area of interest. If price trades down to fill this gap, watch for a reaction—either a bounce (if demand steps in) or a continuation lower if the gap fails to hold.
💡 Day Trade Idea (Not Intra-day)
Scenario: If price trades down to fill the gap just below the current level (around 5,300–5,320), monitor for a bullish reaction (such as a strong daily close, a bullish order block, or a clear rejection wick).
Trade Plan:
🕵️♂️ Wait for price to fill the gap and show a bullish daily signal.
🎯 Enter a day trade long at the next day’s open if confirmation is present (e.g., a bullish daily candle close or a break above the previous day’s high).
🛑 Place a stop loss just below the gap or the most recent swing low.
📈 Target the previous high near 5,400 for a day trade, or consider scaling out if momentum continues.
Alternative: If price fails to hold the gap and closes below it on the daily chart, consider a day trade short the following day, targeting the next liquidity pool below (e.g., 5,200).
