NQ: Uncertainty after the bloodbath!Good day!
Yesterday close was irrelevant: Uncertainty, indecision and inside the previous huge candle. Until clear direction, we've today Trump's ultimatum to China with additional 50% tariffs if China does not step back with its retaliation of 34%. China has additional tools: sell US Treasuries which trigger a crise worldwide and particularly in USA.
Along this, we've some cracks within Trump billionaires, including E. Musk, who start showing frustration with tariffs.
Nasdaq 1 day - Imbalance 📝 Chart Structure Overview
The chart previously formed a rising wedge — a classic bearish reversal pattern — which broke down aggressively.
The breakdown has now led to a steep decline, bringing price back to the major support zone between 17,000 – 17,700, which held strong multiple times in the past (highlighted in purple).
📉 Current Price Action
Current price: 17,618.3
Price is hovering just above a key demand zone from 2023, with a small bounce visible today.
The large red candle breaking through multiple support levels suggests strong bearish momentum, but this area could act as temporary support or a bounce zone.
💹 Volume Analysis
There’s a visible spike in volume, indicating capitulation or panic selling — this can often lead to short-term relief rallies or bounces as buyers step in at support.
📊 RSI (Relative Strength Index)
RSI is 34.76, approaching oversold territory (<30), signaling potential exhaustion of the sellers.
Momentum is still bearish but could be ripe for a short-term bounce or consolidation phase.

Possible move for nasdaqI had to redraw my channels from my last view. Sometimes we really have to zoom out to get the bigger picture.....I believe we may have entered a bear phase for the market. I have noted the important levels on the chart. I have outlined the possible path the market might take...There are plenty of untested levels below where massive buy orders are sitting. Of course it will not get there in a day or 2. But it is very clear where bears are sitting. Bear market bull rallies are also quite strong and might give an impression that we will go to ATH. But there is a reason why channels work most of the time at least from a long term perspective. This is merely a conjecture, but if you view the larger time frame as a 5 min chart, you know what moves might take place. I'm not advocating a full blown market crash, but we might get to see lower highs and lower lows over the next few months.....I could be completely wrong on this....For investors these are the best levels to enter big, for day traders...well...vix is still elevated and we trade the day whether it is bullish or bearish...So keep your position size smaller than usual as you will need a wider SL. Trade small, trade safe....Investors can start accumulating good stocks bit by bit and average out with every 10-15% dip, of course in smaller amounts....As we don't know when a bottom will happen...

🔍 Key Technical Highlights:
Demand Zone: Price has tapped into a historically strong demand block between 14,955 – 16,344 (gray box), which previously acted as a launchpad for the last rally.

Bullish Reversal Candlestick: Current monthly candle showing potential reversal with high buying pressure.
RSI: The RSI is rebounding from near the 40 level, historically acting as support during major bull runs.
🎯 Trade Idea:
Entry: Near current levels or on a retest of 16,344
Target: 25,410 (Previous ATH and Fibonacci extension zone, +27%)
Stop Loss: Below 14,000 support, giving room for volatility
🧠 RSTRADING View:
We’re anticipating a long-term bullish reversal as the market finds footing at a key institutional zone. With macroeconomic optimism returning and tech stocks regaining momentum, NAS100 could be setting up for a new leg higher.

Are you buying the NASDAQ dip or waiting for confirmation? Comment your outlook below!
The Nasdaq 100 nears a big breaking pointThe Nasdaq 100 has continued declining, attempting to find some support after breaking below the August 2024 lows on 4 April. The next obvious support levels lie around the late 2021 and 2022 highs, which, for now at least, are offering some stability. It would not be surprising to see the index test that region during the trading session.
However, a break below support at 16,700 could be a negative signal for the Nasdaq, suggesting the index may head even lower. The next level of technical support would not appear until the July 2023 highs at 15,750. If that level breaks, the next area of support lies at the October 2023 low of 14,100, effectively erasing all gains made over the past 18 months.
The problem for the Nasdaq is that several areas on the chart will likely offer little to no support should it break under its 2021 highs, with numerous lower gaps remaining unfilled. This suggests the potential for further declines, which could extend to the 1.618% level around 14,510, especially as we’ve only seen a full extension of the initial bear flag so far.
If the Nasdaq can find support at the November 2021 highs, there is room for a rally back to 17,265, which marks the August lows, and potentially further to 18,360. However, a complete reversal back to the previous highs seems highly unlikely, given that the market may now reprice risk and reassess how much it is willing to pay for it.

NASDAQ Might Recover From Massive LossesWohooo... These days are wild!
Now let's take a look at how the day can develop, because... the market, at least the NASDAQ, doesn't look that bad anymore.
We are seeing the first signs of a bottom. However, it can be assumed that the market will dip again at the opening.
There is a bullish order block in the area shown, which coincides pretty much exactly with the POC of the last recovery attempt.
An excellent RRR for long trades could be taken here.
NASDAQ - Bounce here could mean strength.The chart is self - explanatory as always.
Nasdaq is sitting at a critical zone — the previous all-time high area — with the 200-week EMA just below.
📊 From a technical standpoint, a bounce here would signal potential strength.
⚠️ But when panic sets in, technicals can take a back seat.
Stay sharp. Manage risk.

Understand Trump tariff war, Assess if market rebound is likelyIf you want to better understand Trump’s strategy for the tariff war and the underlying intentions—especially to assess whether a rapid market rebound is likely—you may refer to a paper by Trump’s economic advisor Stephen Miran, titled “A User’s Guide to Restructuring the Global Trading System.”
Here’s a brief summary of the key points from the paper regarding the trade war:
1. Market Volatility Is Anticipated
The paper acknowledges that sharply raising tariffs may trigger financial market turbulence, increase uncertainty, lead to rising inflation, potential interest rate hikes, and a stronger U.S. dollar—all of which could cause broader ripple effects. (In other words, the Trump administration is aware that such moves will shake the markets.)
2. Second Term: Focus Shifts to Legacy
While Trump and his team prioritized stock market performance during the first term, in a second term—when re-election is no longer a concern—he may focus more on leaving a political legacy. This includes reshoring manufacturing, tax reform, reducing national debt, and shrinking the trade deficit.
3. Tariffs as a Strategic and Fiscal Tool
This new round of tariffs serves not only as a pressure tactic , but also as a potential revenue source to fund Trump’s desired tax cuts. As such, the Trump administration may not rush to finalize new trade deals. Instead, tariff reductions would likely occur gradually, and only after securing substantial economic benefits.
4. Trade and Security Will Be Linked
Future trade negotiations will likely tie economic cooperation to national security. The U.S. could use a dual standard—“tariffs + security”—to compel other nations to follow U.S.-defined trade and geopolitical rules.
For example: Countries might be forced to join a tariff alliance against China. In exchange for market access, they would either have to tax Chinese goods or accept high U.S. tariffs and reduced security cooperation. For the EU, if it does not meet U.S. demands, tariffs would become a key revenue stream for the U.S., while freeing up American resources to focus on China’s rise rather than spending time and money on European security.
5. Big Picture Strategy: Build a Global “Tariff Wall”
This paper lays out a grand strategy to use tariff warfare to pressure countries into forming a global “tariff wall” encircling China, aimed at constraining China’s economic influence.
Strategic Implications
Based on this approach, the U.S. goal in trade negotiations is not merely tariff reductions or market access, but achieving:
1. Market access for U.S. goods via lowered barriers abroad.
2. Adoption of U.S.-led trade and geopolitical rules, including encircling China and sidelining nations like Iran and Russia.
3. Increased U.S. government revenue— meaning tariffs might persist throughout Trump’s term and not be eliminated outright!
Market Outlook
If the U.S. follows this roadmap, it’s unlikely that a consensus with China or other China-dependent economies (like the EU) will be reached quickly. This suggests that market volatility could persist for some time if these strategies are enacted.
Given the current asset declines showing signs of a liquidity crunch, without a clear positive catalyst (e.g., successful trade deals, tax cuts, or rate cuts), it may be difficult for equities, crypto, or even gold to see a meaningful rebound in the short term.
As markets remain highly sensitive to news, it’s crucial to focus on risk control in trading and consider reducing position sizes when needed.
Let’s keep the discussion going—what do you think about the future direction of U.S. trade policy under Trump?
