NQ Short (01-13-25)NAZ in the Danger Zone and selling volume is back. 20,990 is the Edge, Long above and Short below. Currently struggling is U Turn Zone #1, white arrow is lift target for retest & rejection. Yellow arrow is weekly lower target. Passing TLX 20,758 and landing on 20,300. Should the NAZ stay under 758, look month end target of 20,000. Expect Overnight Rigging lifts, Dead Zone retracements and any off session prop games that have been working for years. 2 way trading is back.

NQ Range (01-06-25)2025 will get going this week or next. The prior Post called U Turn near the Danger Zone with Friday-Monday rally, which may be extended to 1/13 since markets closed on 1/9. Orange TL is danger zone, shaded are U Turn zones and others are just key levels (KL's). 990 hit & Long U Turn to stall out (next dash white or 22,080). Notice 12/18 & 19, we may see that now on way up and if not, reverse it and NAZ will fall in the DZ. 1st white vertical is Friday close and 2nd is January month end. Looking for NAZ to retest 18,655 should it get in and stay in the DZ. We will need to see some drops in the off session Overnight (never happens) and Not see the Friday-Monday Long play. Unless these breakdown look Long (as they are holding up the NAZ). Should these crack we could see some drop moves like 12/18 & 19th and provide the right shoulder to the H/S. BTD, FOMO, GoFed in 2025.

HTF Directional Bias for MNQ I have a Bearish Bias in play before the 07:00 Pre Session aiming to reach for the Fri 03 Jan 2025 at 21,144.25 and price could come as low as the 20,934.00 level which has the clean triple bottom SSL. The reason why I am Bearish is because price has made a recent rally into the D SIBI and found rejection at the 50% CE level on Mon 06 Jan 2025. Then on Tue 07 Jan 2025 price left that D SIBI to trade lower through the Volume Imbalance and into the discount wick of the candle from Thu 02 Jan 2025. Since it is a very heavy news release I do expect it to make a nice move lower since there is a bunch of SSL resting below the PDL's and price could reach as low as the discount D BISI 50% CE level at 20,871.25

MNQ Week Review 01/06/25 - 01/10/25 Price delivered precisely to the Daily Discount Draw on Liquidity which was the D BISI 50% quadrant at 20,875.75 underneath that nice triple bottom PDLs. Now the question to ask is does price justify staying inside that BISI or will price cut through the BISI and continue to reach for the SSL at 20,640.00? Lets continue to watch and see if price reverses or continues lower from here. This week I got to experience first hand why its good to have a Directional Bias and why its a good idea to stick with it regardless of being right or wrong. - First always remember as a traders we do not control outcome only our performance and if we get one day wrong then thats okay because its only one day in my trading career not my whole trading career. Also its very important to have methodology or an edge that can produce consistency as that will help aid the mental battle of missing trades or getting the bias wrong and not getting the framework to take a trade. In the beginning it might feel bad but keep in mind the game is not capital gain but capital preservation. If your methodology is consistent in terms of producing setups then missed setups or hitting SL should not worry you as there will always be another day to trade and get a setup. -Another key thing I want to touch on is the peace of mind you get when sticking to your Directional Bias. When your looking for example only Bullish scenarios and ignore all Bearish ones then your not over here investing mental capital on a trade that you know is counter to the HTF Bias and could easily hit your SL. Watching price action also becomes enjoyable as well because you don't care to be right or wrong so if your right and your setup forms then take the trade and if your wrong then just turn the charts off and trade another day as there is plenty of trading opportunities through out the year.

IDS 30M SystemMany my followers know I use a Range based chart vs a time based chart. I have provided a 30 minute (time based) version here with instructions, this is reliable but slow or late at times. Use with (range based) IDS 27, 35 & 50 (if you have). Trading's 4 key W's, the keys to it all: #1, What, what is next move Long or Short? Direction of execution. #2, When, when to execute the What? This happens prior to the move. #3, Where, this is the Target of #'s 1 & 2? #4, Why, this is the least important and does not matter. This is the job of all the media, long only managers such mutual funds and ETF's. The IDS 30M will help with 1-3 W's (not #4). Regarding 1-3, the 4 white arrows will help to show the set up. The 2 yellow lines are the Tilson indicator and price will have to be above (and stay above thin white line. The target will be a KL or target (usually a Open Range level). The short set up will be highlighted by the 2 circles. A single Tilson will show pull backs and not shorts. The various vertical shaded colors are key times when price and volume may redirect or move further (in the same direction). Pay attention to the O/N (overnight) as the NAZ will usually travel back up (even after a drop in the Reg Session. The dotted line will change colors from 1 white (long) and 1-2 yellows (short or pull backs). Red bars under 2 yellows is a Short and blue above the white is a long. Use this with daily Posts in order to set up Entry, Targets and Exists/Reverses. Good Luck and hopefully this will help. Below is the IDS50 (Range) system.

Prepare before National Foundation Day on Nasdaq 25.01.09Hello, this is Greedy All-Day. First, I’d like to apologize for not posting a briefing yesterday, January 8, due to personal reasons. Let’s dive into today’s analysis of the NASDAQ. Tuesday’s Briefing Results Buy Entry: No buy entries were triggered, so there’s no commentary for this perspective. Sell Entry: The trigger was a breakdown below the ascending trendline and the lower boundary of the supply zone at 21640. Outcome: After the breakdown, the NASDAQ dropped by 350 points. Profit: Approximately $7,000 per contract. Daily Chart Analysis The NASDAQ is currently consolidating between the 20 EMA and the 60 EMA, which suggests indecision: The price has not closed below the 60 EMA, indicating that support is still holding and cautioning against premature selling. The price has not entered the Ichimoku Cloud, which means a full bearish transition has not occurred yet. This range-bound movement suggests that the market is awaiting a major catalyst, such as an economic indicator or political news, to determine the next directional move. A more strategic approach is required in this scenario. Key Supply Zone Dynamics The current range is highlighted in the orange box, where price movements have shown inconsistent behavior: Resistance and support levels within this range do not align consistently. The best approach in this zone is to wait for a clear breakout in either direction before entering a trade. This area is prone to stop-hunting, increasing the risk of being prematurely stopped out in both directions. Today’s Trading Strategy Buy Scenario: Entry Trigger: A breakout above the green box at 21812. Reasoning: The red box marks the upper boundary of the resistance zone, but breaking above it alone does not provide a strong buy signal. A move above 21812 would signify a breakout above key resistance levels, including the descending trendline and prior candle resistance, providing sufficient justification for a buy entry. Sell Scenario: Entry Trigger: A breakdown below the orange box support. Reasoning: Breaking the short-term ascending trendline would open the door for a test of Wednesday’s low. If the low is breached, the price could decline further to the 21006 level. The 21006 support zone corresponds to the January 2, 2025 low of 20983, a critical level. A breakdown here would signify entry into the daily Ichimoku Cloud, opening substantial downside targets. Conclusion Today is a market holiday in the U.S. (National Foundation Day), so trading activity will be paused. In such conditions, I recommend avoiding impulsive or speculative trades and instead observing the market’s behavior to prepare for the next session. Stay disciplined and trade wisely. 🚀 This briefing will remain valid until Friday due to the market holiday. The next NASDAQ briefing will be shared over the weekend in preparation for Monday’s trading.

NASDAQ - Resistance with Fair Volume GapOn NASDAQ , it's nice to see a strong sell-off from the price of 21275.00. It's also encouraging to observe a strong volume area where a lot of contracts are accumulated. I believe that sellers from this area will defend their short positions. When the price returns to this area, strong sellers will push the market down again. Fair Volume GAP (FVG) and high volume cluster are the main reasons for my decision to go short on this trade. Happy trading, Dale

Nasdaq Analysis for Tuesday 25.01.14Hello, this is Greedy All-Day. Today’s analysis focuses on the NASDAQ. Monday’s Results Chart: Buy Perspective: No buy entry signals were triggered. Sell Perspective: While there was a mention of the possibility of a breakdown below the lows, no clear sell entry signals were given. After the breakdown, the NASDAQ dropped by approximately 180 points but eventually rebounded sharply toward the end of the session. This suggests that observing for a day to allow for the formation of a supply zone would have been a prudent approach. Key Points to Note Chart: March Futures Contract: The price initially broke below the Ichimoku Cloud on Monday but re-entered the cloud due to Tuesday’s gap-up opening. Key Levels: Cloud bottom: 20980. A failure to hold this support level could have a long-term bearish impact. Cloud top: 21216, marking an important resistance level. Perpetual Contract Analysis Chart: The perpetual contract shows the price re-entered the Ichimoku Cloud after briefly touching the cloud's bottom. A bullish candle has formed above the cloud, signaling support. Key Levels: Cloud entry: 21005. Resistance at the 60 EMA: 21085. Current Market Frame Chart: The NASDAQ appears to have entered either the red box or the orange box frame: Red Box Range: 20788–19818. Orange Box Range: 20382–21081. Key Resistance Levels: The 21081–21085 range represents a critical resistance zone. A breakout above this level could signal the potential for further rebound. Today’s Trading Strategy Chart: Buy Strategy: 1. Breakout Above 21088.5 (Morning High): Rationale: This represents a breakout above both the resistance trendline starting from January 7, 2025, and the morning high. Risk: The price could face immediate resistance at 21123, potentially reversing quickly. 2. Breakout Above 21207: Rationale: This level marks the top of a previous supply zone following a sharp decline, making it a more conservative entry point. Sell Strategy: While the framing structure is complete, the market appears to be stabilizing at the bottom. For now, observing the market and avoiding sell entries is recommended. Conclusion The NASDAQ remains in a critical consolidation phase, with the potential for both rebounds and further declines. For buyers, focus on breakouts above 21088.5 and 21207 for potential upside. For sellers, it’s advisable to observe the market for clearer signals, as the recent bottoming behavior suggests limited downside in the short term. Patience and careful observation are key in today’s session. Let’s stay disciplined and trade wisely. 🚀 Please like and subscribe!

NQ short-term short bias from the key zones In my opinion we are going to see the bearish short term continuation to rebalance, into the black area of interest (lower quadrant of the bullish order block along with the previously formed RTH Gap, which I do not expect to see retraced considerably if we want to see the further bullish movement) around the inauguration of trump and retrace slightly by the end of the month. Further continuation is in the following months if the conditions are fulfilled. Although there can be the same fluctuation as before within the price channel in this case I would expect the same picture I drew just delayed.

Tuesday: Make Your Day a Payday with NASDAQ 25.01.07Hello, this is Greedy All-Day. Today’s analysis focuses on the NASDAQ. Monday Trading Results Buy Signals: The green boxes marked the buy entry zones for Monday’s session. Sell Signals: No sell entries were triggered, so there is no commentary for sell trades. Outcome: Both the first and second buy entries were activated, and all targets were achieved. Profit: The price moved a total of 321 points, resulting in approximately $6,400 in profit per contract. How Should We Approach Today’s Market? Looking at the daily chart, the price appears to have entered the supply zone within the green box range, which spans 21619 to 21896. While Monday’s bullish candle demonstrated strength, the upper wick formed during the U.S. session's close indicates that bullish momentum was met with selling pressure. This leaves a less-than-ideal setup for the bulls. The trend is likely to continue in the direction of the breakout from this supply zone. Today’s Trading Strategy Buy Perspective: Entry Trigger: A breakout above both the resistance trendline and Monday’s high at 21897 is recommended for a conservative buy entry. Target Levels: First resistance: The yellow box, which contains the purple resistance trendline. Beyond this, the maximum target lies at 22111. Scenario Analysis for Bulls: Should the price rally, the green box zones (previous lows) will form a double bottom structure, providing a strong foundation for continued upside. A breakout above 22111 would confirm a larger double bottom pattern, potentially paving the way for a rally toward previous highs or even new all-time highs. Sell Perspective: Entry Trigger: A break below the ascending trendline and Monday’s corrective low at 21619 serves as the sell signal. Target Levels: Maximum target: 21520 Beyond this, further downside is possible; however, key support zones are unclear due to differing stair-step patterns during recent rallies and corrections. Conclusion The NASDAQ is at a critical juncture, balancing between bullish potential and bearish risks: For Buyers: Watch for a breakout above 21897 for potential upside to 22111 and beyond. For Sellers: Monitor a breakdown below 21619, with 21520 as the initial target. Be prepared for both scenarios, as the market continues to provide dynamic opportunities. Let’s stay sharp and trade wisely. 🚀

Nasdaq buys coming in uptoo 21400This week promises to be intriguing with the Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) release scheduled for Wednesday. My focus will be on Monday’s London session to potentially set up a buy scenario for Nasdaq, aiming for the 21450 level. I plan to approach Monday with reduced risk and lighter trading volume. Tuesday looks more dynamic, as I’ll be targeting a short setup if the market reaches my key point of interest. The conviction to target 20680 remains strong, aligning with my overall bias. Lets wait and see how manual intervention takes action Happy Trading and trust your process. Proverbs 16:3 (NKJV) Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established.
