Trade Reflection & Overview – Final Thoughts on the Day’s SetupIn this final video, I’m reflecting on the trade and the key lessons learned throughout the session. Looking back, I realize I should have taken profits when price tested the 9:33 AM fair value gap, which would have given us a nice profit. Although I expected lower prices, considering we had a bearish daily bias, I underestimated the strength of the daily fair value gap, which had already been tapped multiple times. Price held above the 50% level, and that was a strong signal for higher prices. Additionally, the double top formation near Monday’s buy-side liquidity could have been a target for price, which adds to the case for a reversal higher. Despite missing some potential profit, we ended the day with a total of $50,723.16 in profit. Looking ahead, the focus is on consistent trades, avoiding FOMO, and maintaining solid setups that make sense. I’m committed to sticking with MNQ for now, refining my confidence in the setups and building a steady rhythm. Once we’re fully confident and have more capital, I’ll look to take on more risk, but for now, the goal is simple — keep it consistent and avoid repeating past mistakes. This is the year of building profitability and consistency, and I’m ready for the journey ahead. Trade Overview: Profit: $200 Account Balance: $50,723.16 for the day Reflections: Missed opportunity to take profits at key levels Next Steps: Focus on solid setups, consistency, and avoiding FOMO Trading Plan: Sticking with MNQ for now, working on building confidence and rhythm.

Position Management – Consolidation and Missed Exit OpportunityPosition Management – Consolidation, Inverse Head & Shoulders, and Missed Exit Opportunity In this video, we continue managing the position, which remains in consolidation. Price taps the 50% level where we took our first partial, retraces higher, and taps the inverse fair value gap that previously held support for the sell-off. From there, we rush lower to the 9:33 AM fair value gap, finding instant support and bouncing just shy of the 50% mark of that gap. This is also coinciding with the 25% level of the daily fair value gap. As price trades up to the 7.05 area, we create a triple top before moving lower again, but it’s been choppy and ugly. At around 11:00 AM, I reflect on how taking profits at the first test of the 9:33 AM fair value gap would've been the ideal move, putting us up around $380. We’re now observing a potential inverse head and shoulders forming, with the 9:33 AM fair value gap as the head and the 50% area as the higher right shoulder, suggesting a reversal for higher prices. Trade Overview: Price Action: Choppy movement, with multiple taps of key levels Key Levels: 9:33 AM fair value gap, 50% of fair value gap, 25% daily fair value gap Pattern: Observing an inverse head and shoulders setup forming Exit Reflection: Considering missed opportunity to take profits at 11:00 AM.

Position Management – Price Consolidation & FVG SupportIn this video, we continue managing the position after taking our first partial. Price consolidates around the 50% retracement level before pushing lower to the 21,188.75 level, which aligns with the 9:33 AM fair value gap we identified earlier. We find support here, and at this point, we’re still hoping to see a continuation lower. However, the inverse fair value gap only holds for a few more points before the price reverses against us. This ultimately takes us out of the position, but we still lock in a profit of $65 from the trade. Trade Overview: Price Action: Consolidation near 50%, then lower to 21,188.75 (9:33 AM fair value gap) Support: Price found support at the fair value gap level before reversing Exit: Stopped out with $65 profit as the inverse fair value gap failed to hold.

Trade Management – First Partial at 50% of the TrendIn this video, we’re already inside the 10 AM trade from the previous setup. At this point, we’re up 290 ticks, and we’re managing the position carefully. To mitigate risk, we decided to take our first partial near the 50% retracement of the trend, just in case the price reversed and went against us. This step allowed us to lock in some profit while still leaving room for the trade to continue in our favor. Trade Overview: Profit: +290 ticks Partial: First partial taken at 50% retracement of the trend Risk Management: Protecting against potential reversal while staying in the trade.

10 AM Trade – Entry After Buy-Side Liquidity ManipulationAfter the 10 AM candle formed, price quickly expanded higher, as we had anticipated, taking out the buy-side liquidity before tapping into a new week opening gap low. Once this manipulation played out, I observed the price action on smaller timeframes, particularly the 1-minute chart, where we saw a bullish break for value gaps. I used this as an inverse setup to enter on the third or fourth candle. The trade eventually played out, moving lower as expected, setting the stage for further price action that I’ll explain in more detail in the upcoming videos. Trade Overview: Entry: After the 10 AM candle, based on a break of a bullish FVGs on the 1-minute Bias: Anticipating buy-side liquidity manipulation and a move toward lower prices Execution: Entered on the third or fourth candle, holding for a continuation lower.

Pre-9:45 PMI Trade – Executing the Sell and Managing In this trade, we executed a sell before the Flash PMI at 9:45 AM, following our setup and market analysis. We were in the trade and managed it until we were stopped out, at which point we stayed out of the market until after the PMI release. Once the 10 AM candle opened, we observed price action closely, waiting for manipulation. Our focus was on potential higher wick manipulation before the actual distribution of the 10 AM candle. This setup provided us with the opportunity to get into the market once the manipulation played out. Trade Overview: Entry: Pre-9:45 PMI sell Exit: Stopped out, then waited for the 10 AM candle manipulation Bias: Watching for higher wick manipulation and potential distribution after PMI release.

MNQ Trade Setup -- Waiting for Flash PMI ImpactI’m holding off on a re-entry as we approach the Flash PMI at 9:45 AM. My bias is that there’s a potential for price manipulation to push higher above buy-side liquidity, taking out the highs before continuing lower. I’m waiting for the PMI release to confirm this idea and get better clarity on the market direction. Bias: Expecting a possible manipulation higher to take out buy-side liquidity, followed by a continuation lower. Waiting for Flash PMI to unfold before making any further decisions.

Supply and Demand Zones 5/21/25 $NQLink to chart: www.tradingview.com Bearish: If we break Asia Highs and tap into the 15MIN Supply above (even push up to 21300), then a rejection to break lower into 30MIN demand to take PDL of NY session 5/21 and final target of 5/13 NY low at 20972.75. Bullish: If we break and hold above the 15MIN supply above (and break and retest holding over 21300 12AM London Open from 5/21), then target longs to reclaim target area of ~21415. This target is based on how past price action from 5/15 and 5/19 responded when we reached into the current level we are in, and bounced back TO roughly 21415 before hitting stronger resistance/rejection. Keeping note that on the 4HR frame we failed to break the 4HR supply above and we just created a new lower low/high now.

2025.05.22 nasdaq analysis🔸 Daily Chart Perspective On the daily timeframe, we can see that the recent low was made within the demand zone, but the market began to fall just before the U.S. session closed. The Asian session appears to be in wait-and-see mode for now. If the trend continues downward, the red box to the left suggests the possibility of a one-way bearish move. In such a case, a drop toward the 20583 area is open. The daily 20EMA is also near that zone, and since a one-way drop occurred in the red box area before, the possibility is quite realistic. 🔸 1-Hour Chart View On the 1H chart, the Nasdaq seems to be forming an expanding wedge. It's hard to say that a trend reversal to the downside is confirmed yet, because price is still inside the expanding pattern. However, since the market seems to have formed a short-term top, it gives us a sense of direction for short-term trading. If the price enters the black box area to the left, that could be seen as a complete trend reversal. 🔸 Today’s Trading Plan At this point, due to yesterday's sharp drop, there’s no clear buy zone visible. Only short positions are planned for today. Short Setup #1 Entry: On break below 21112 TP 1: 21075 Short Setup #2 Entry: On break below 21070 TP 1: 20996 Short Setup #3 Entry: On break below 20970 + trendline break TP Max: 20830 ~ 20770 🔹 Conclusion It looks like the trend is leaning toward the downside, but it's best to enter positions only after price breaks out of key support zones.

Nasdaq’s Next Move Revealed This Week – Don’t Miss the Breakout Following a strong surge at the start of the trading week, the Nasdaq reached a new high since March 26th. At this juncture, I anticipate a potential pullback before any sustained upward movement. My analysis suggests monitoring for a retracement to the New Week Opening Gap (NWOG), where price action will likely provide critical insights. I see two probable scenarios: 1. A move to the NWOG, followed by a strong bounce, potentially targeting a new all-time high, as some market commentators have suggested. 2. A weak reaction at the NWOG, leading to a breakdown below this level, with 16,000 as the next key support target. This week's price action will be pivotal in determining the Nasdaq's near-term direction. I recommend close observation of these levels and disciplined risk management when positioning for either outcome.

2025-05-20 - priceactiontds - daily update - nasdaq Good Evening and I hope you are well. comment: Bears get nothing going. Everything is bought. Do not look for shorts unless you can scalp really well. We have room for 1 more day of chop but ultimately I think we will print 22000, like sp500 wants the 6000+. Bull channel is valid until broken, so look for longs. current market cycle: trading range key levels: 21000 - 22000 bull case: Bulls want a new ath and we are high enough, that they could easily get it. As long as we stay above 21200, the bull channel is alive and well and we are making higher highs and higher lows. Don’t need to write more for bulls because they have all the arguments on their side. Invalidation is below 20100. bear case: Bears can only join the chat again, once we have a daily close below 21000. This channel upwards is tight. Do not look for shorts. Invalidation is above 21200ish but real confirmation is only below 21000. short term: Neutral for another day but when the breakout happens, obviously bullish for 22000 and maybe some more. We have room for one more chop day. medium-long term - Update from 2024-04-20: My most bearish target for 2025 was 17500ish, given in my year-end special. We are +18% from the lows and I do think, once this turns again, it will easily be the short trade of the year. trade of the day: Buy low, sell high and scalp. 21400 - 21460 was the main range and both sides made money today. Only real bad trade was shorting below 21400 or buying the Globex high.
