Nasdaq 100: Bulls in Control for Now, but Key Hurdles RemainNasdaq 100 futures have gapped higher upon the Asia market open, leaving them sitting above the important 200-day moving average. With momentum indicators like RSI (14) and MACD generating bullish signals, it’s an environment that favours buying dips and topside breaks. However, the coast is not entirely clear for bulls with the price struggling to take out the March 28 high of 20,536. The January 2023 uptrend is also nearby, sitting just above 20,600. Zooming out, the price has also been coiling in a rising wedge pattern, warning there may be an eventual resumption of the bearish trend seen between late February and early April. While some bulls may be willing to buy above the 200-day moving average with a stop beneath for protection, others may prefer to wait for a decisive push above the top of the resistance zone around 20,650 before establishing positions. Topside levels to keep on the radar include 21,000, 21,420 and 21,969. If the price were to reverse back below the 200-day moving average and close there, it would swing near-term directional risks lower, invalidating the bullish bias. Good luck! DS

NQ Range (05-14-25)The Range of Games below will run until Tuesday 5/27. Looking for a drop between now and mid next week that will set up the Long to ATH or near 23,000. Look for the Memorial Day holiday low volume week (prior to holiday or after) to set up the lift higher in O/N or during the Dead Zone's of Reg Sessions. Should the NAZ lift prior to mid mid/late next week, look Short for a pull back. Blue lines are 2025 & 2024 Open Price levels, NAZ is flat YTD. Stall lift above should retest Mid Level of the 2 blue lines. NOTE: Since 1/22 the NAZ is up 26% (today) and ATH 32%. Current to ATH is range of tricks, the upcoming low volume holiday trading days may be the Pop set up for the breakout. Long moves in the Overnight and extended weekends have been consistent.

NASDAQ - continue with the UptrendOn NASDAQ , it's nice to see a strong buying reaction at the price of 20150. There's a significant accumulation of contracts in this area, indicating strong buyer interest. I believe that buyers who entered at this level will defend their long positions. If the price returns to this area, strong buyers will likely push the market up again. (FVG) - Fair Value GAP and high volume cluster are the main reasons for my decision to go long on this trade. Happy trading Dale

NQ Short (05-13-25)The move up from Danger Zone U Turn at KL 16,365 on 4/7 has been sketchy at best. These are better viewed on the NDX Daily chart. Below is YTD NDX, notice the multiple Gap moves up and away from the Danger Zone (16,790 on NDX). Looking back, gaps usually get revisited and when you have 3-4 there is higher probability of a gap fill. The NAZ 30M chart is showing the channel to play as the NAZ just popped to Top after the Sunday gap open and 2am 350 point 25m move. Sunday had a gap and a massive 2am move. NDX chart looks like Swiss Cheese and NAZ (NQ) chart will break down the gap that created the Cheese. It is all Cheesy Price Action.

Equities Start the Week HigherTrade talks were front and center starting off the week, and the equity markets saw sharp increases with the Nasdaq leading the way higher, being up over 4% on the session with the S&P and Russel also up over 3%. The U.S. and China agreed to a 90-day pause on tariffs, and traders had been waiting for news about this since the initial breakdown in early April. While equities saw gains, the Gold market saw selling pressure being down over 3% today, and now over $200 below the recent all time high. The CME Fed Watch Tool probabilities have also been changing over the past week, where the July meeting now has a higher probability of another rate pause instead of a rate cut. The market is now pricing in the first rate cut to come at the September meeting at a near 50% probability. Tomorrow traders will see CPI numbers come out, offering data on inflation which could also add volatility to the equity and precious metals markets.

Inflation Data Boosting MarketsInflation has been front and center on traders' minds for the last several years as it can impact not only consumer prices but also futures markets. Today, CPI was released and the number came in slightly lower than expected at 2.3%. Throughout the session, the equity indices, precious metals, crypto markets, and Crude Oil traded higher. The Nasdaq led the way higher for the equities being up over 1.5% and Crude Oil also was up over 2.5% recording the 4th consecutive day with a higher high. Looking at the recent gains in the S&P and Nasdaq, it can be useful to look at the historic relative strength on a daily basis. Currently for the Nasdaq, the relative strength from a daily basis standpoint is at the highest level since the all time high prices from December 17th, and the market is trading well below that level currently. For the rest of the week, traders will hear remarks from Fed Chair Powell about the current inflation and employment landscape and will see more data on global inflation that could add volatility to the markets.

Two Shots at NQ: Because One's Never EnoughAlright, here’s the game plan – because let’s be honest, the market loves nothing more than pretending to break out, then snapping back just to mess with us. 🔥 The Setup: I’m eyeing the Micro E-mini Nasdaq-100 Futures (June 2025), and I’m giving myself two shots at this breakout. Yeah, I know – ambitious. But the market’s been playing hard to get lately, so I’m hedging my enthusiasm. 💡 Why Two Long Entries? Because, let’s face it, the first entry will probably get stopped out. I like to think of it as a “testing the waters” trade. If it works, great – I’m a genius. If not, well, it was just practice. First Entry (The Optimist): I’m jumping in if it breaks out, keeping the stop tight – because nothing says confidence like a cautious stop loss. Second Entry (The Realist): If the first entry faceplants, I’ll wait for the market to freak out and then calm down. Then, I’ll slide back in when it looks like it’s actually serious this time. 🧠 Managing the Chaos: Short-Term Target: The last high – because if it doesn’t clear that, what’s the point? Long-Term Target: The equal move – assuming the market doesn’t chicken out halfway. Stop-Loss: Snug and sensible, because I’d rather not watch my account do a disappearing act. Take profit targets are set where the equal move would complete – assuming the market cooperates for once. 💭 The Thought Process: I’m not here to pretend I can predict the future – if I could, I’d be on a yacht, not posting on TradingView. But this setup gives me two chances to be right, which is at least one more than usual. 🔥 Your Thoughts? If you’re also giving your trades a second (or third) chance, drop a comment. Or just let me know how your latest breakout fake-out went – because misery loves company. 😅

NQ1 - Out Of Hours Pop = Exhaustion Gap?NQ1 Very sudden pop happening out of hours. Impulsive action outside of regular trading hours can often be dangerous. There is a reasonable chance that this move is the final blow off phase of the uptrend to set up an exhaustion gap in regular trading hour indices before the next wave down. FOMC tomorrow might provide the volatility to print a topping candle. We'll see - obviously that just one possible outcome. But if it gaps up tomorrow I'm going to be thinking of short opportunity🤨.
