NQ1! trade ideas
Nasdaq (NQ) Set to Complete 5 Waves, Defining Bullish TrendOn April 7, 2025, the Nasdaq (NQ), like other major global indices, marked a significant low, setting the stage for a potential bullish trend. From this low, the index has embarked on a five-wave impulsive rally. This a hallmark of bullish momentum in Elliott Wave theory. The initial advance, wave 1, peaked at 18,361.5. It was then followed by a corrective pullback in wave 2, which found support at 16,735. From there, the index resumed its upward trajectory in wave 3. The move up in wave 3 has an internal five-wave structure, signaling strong bullish momentum.
Within wave 3, the first sub-wave, ((i)), concluded at 19,386.75. Subsequent pullback in wave ((ii)) found support at 17,700. The index then surged higher in wave ((iii)), reaching 21,562. Afterwards, a corrective dip in wave ((iv)) ended at 20,725.04, as illustrated on the one-hour chart. This wave ((iv)) correction unfolded as a double-three Elliott Wave pattern. Wave (w) bottomed at 21,072.75 and wave (x) peaked at 21,337.5. The final leg, wave (y), concluded at 20,725.04, completing the correction.
The Nasdaq has since turned higher in wave ((v)). From the wave ((iv)) low, wave (i) advanced to 21,858.75, followed by a pullback in wave (ii) to 21,071.5. The index is now poised to extend higher in wave (iii) of ((v)), continuing the impulsive rally from the April 7 low. In the near term, as long as the pivotal low at 20,725.04 holds, any pullbacks are expected to find support in a 3, 7, or 11-swing pattern, paving the way for further upside. This technical setup suggests the Nasdaq is well-positioned to sustain its bullish momentum in the coming sessions, provided key support levels remain intact.
Volume Speaks Louder: My Custom Volume Indicator for Futures
My Indicator Philosophy: Think Complex, Model Simple
In my first “Modeling 101” class as an undergrad, I learned a mantra that’s stuck with me ever since: “Think complex, but model simple.” In other words, you can imagine all the complexities of a system, but your actual model doesn’t have to be a giant non-convex, nonlinear neural network or LLM—sometimes a straightforward, rule-based approach is all you need.
With that principle in mind, and given my passion for trading, I set out to invent an indicator that was both unique and useful. I knew countless indicators already existed, each reflecting its creator’s priorities—but none captured my goal: seeing what traders themselves are thinking in real time . After all, news is one driver of the market, but you can’t control or predict news. What you can observe is how traders react—especially intraday—so I wanted a simple way to gauge that reaction.
Why intraday volume ? Most retail traders (myself included) focus on shorter timeframes. When they decide to jump into a trade, they’re thinking within the boundaries of a single trading day. They rarely carry yesterday’s logic into today—everything “resets” overnight. If I wanted to see what intraday traders were thinking, I needed something that also resets daily. Price alone didn’t do it, because price continuously moves and never truly “starts over” each morning. Volume, however, does reset at the close. And volume behaves like buying/selling pressure—except that raw volume numbers are always positive, so they don’t tell you who is winning: buyers or sellers?
To turn volume into a “signed” metric, I simply use the candle’s color as a sign function. In Pine Script, that looks like:
isGreenBar = close >= open
isRedBar = close < open
if (not na(priceAtStartHour))
summedVolume += isGreenBar ? volume : -volume
This way, green candles add volume and red candles subtract volume, giving me positive values when buying pressure dominates and negative values when selling pressure dominates. By summing those signed volumes throughout the day, I get a single metric—let’s call it SummedVolume—that truly reflects intraday sentiment.
Because I focus on futures markets (which have a session close at 18:00 ET), SummedVolume needs to reset exactly at session close. In Pine, that reset is as simple as:
if (isStartOfSession())
priceAtStartHour := close
summedVolume := 0.0
Once that bar (6 PM ET) appears, everything zeroes out and a fresh count begins.
SummedVolume isn’t just descriptive—it generates actionable signals. When SummedVolume rises above a user-defined Long Threshold, that suggests intraday buying pressure is strong enough to consider a long entry. Conversely, when SummedVolume falls below a Short Threshold, that points to below-the-surface selling pressure, flagging a potential short. You can fine-tune those thresholds however you like, but the core idea remains:
• Positive SummedVolume ⇒ net buying pressure (bullish)
• Negative SummedVolume ⇒ net selling pressure (bearish)
Why do I think it works: Retail/intraday traders think in discrete days. They reset their mindset at the close. Volume naturally resets at session close, so by signing volume with candle color, I capture whether intraday participants are predominantly buying or selling—right now.
Once again: “Think complex, model simple.” My Daily Volume Delta (DVD) indicator may look deceptively simple, but five years of backtesting have proven its edge. It’s a standalone gauge of intraday sentiment, and it can easily be combined with other signals—moving averages, volatility bands, whatever you like—to amplify your strategy. So if you want a fresh lens on intraday momentum, give SummedVolume a try.
550+ Points Secured on MNQ | Bullish FVG + Gap Fill PrecisionIn today’s trade, we captured over 550 points on MNQ, banking a solid $288 profit on one clean, high-probability setup.
Here’s the breakdown:
Sunday’s open left a gap above, creating a clear target for buy-side liquidity.
During Asia, price dipped into a validated Daily Bullish FVG, which had previously been traded through and reclaimed — a powerful sign of support.
As price retraced into the 30m FVG and approached its high, I entered at 7AM, aiming for the equal highs above.
Although we exited slightly early before the 10am open push, price ultimately fulfilled the full TP target, confirming the strength of the setup.
🎯 Bonus insight: As mentioned in the video, re-entry at the 50% of the 30m FVG was also valid — and it could’ve netted another 600+ points. That’s how powerful these FVG structures are when aligned with narrative and timing.
Watch the full video to see the exact entry logic, TP strategy, and lessons learned.

Nasdaq 100 Uptrend Approaching Important Resistance LevelHey Traders so today still looking at Nasdaq 100 now in strong uptrend but watch close this 21,867 level because a few things could happen. It could break through which would be bullish. It could pause and consolidate or it could reverse.
Then we have the All Time High at 22,684 not too far away!
So if your bullish wait for a closing price above that level 21,867 before continuing to buy or better yet let it break above them pullback then buy at a better price.
However if you bearish I wouldn't try shorting until a break below support at 20,700

The Last Batch of Good DataCME: Micro E-Mini Nasdaq 100 Index Futures ($MNQ) #TheFuturesLeap #Microfutures
Investors have defied the Wall Street adage of “Sell in May and Go Away”.
The S&P 500 rose by 6.2% in May while the Nasdaq climbed 9.6%. Both indices notched their best monthly results since 2023. The Dow Jones gained 3.9% for the month. The S&P stood out as it recorded its best performance for the month of May since 1990.
Several favorable factors propelled May’s impressive stock index gains:
• Early-May employment data pointed to continued strength, raising risk appetite.
• A temporary U.S.-China tariff reduction for 90 days helped calm trade tensions.
• Robust earnings from Nvidia and Super Micro Computer fueled rally momentum.
Meanwhile, these unfavorable events also occurred in May:
• Moody’s downgraded the US sovereignty rating. By now, the US has lost its AAA ratings from all three major credit agencies.
• The 20-year Treasury bond auction received a cold shoulder in the bond market.
• The trade talk between U.S. and China has been stalled apparently.
In any other time, bad news of such significance would send the stock market into a free fall. But investors turned a blind eye to them. This highlighted a bullish market sentiment, a prevailing appetite for risky assets amid uncertainty in geopolitical and trade tensions.
Underpinning the rising stock prices are solid macroeconomic data for the month of April and strong Q1 earnings from major US corporations. Given that stock prices reflect expected future earnings, it is fair to ask: Will the data stay good?
Import dependency is unlikely to change any time soon
On May 30th, US Census Bureau reported that the U.S. trade deficit in goods narrowed sharply in April, with the gap contracted 46.0% to $87.6 billion. Goods imports decreased by $68.4 billion to $276.1 billion. Exports of goods increased by $6.3 billion to $188.5 billion.
What really happened is that there was a boost in imports in Q1 due to the front-running ahead of tariffs. This ended in April as the higher rates kicked in. If we take March out as an outliner, we will find that the April data is 9.7% higher than February. As a matter of fact, U.S. trade deficits in 2025 rose sharply comparing to 2023 and 2024 levels.
With the US-China interim trade deal in effect from May 14th, we could expect large waves of imports to resume from now through August, pushing trade deficits even higher.
The global supply chain is decades in the making. Its undoing will take years. Meanwhile, imports will pour in, only at higher costs due to the new tariffs and higher freight costs.
My conclusion: U.S. trade deficit will grow bigger, at least for the remainder of 2025.
Retail price hikes could cause inflation to rebound
US retailers largely source their products overseas. Could they just “eat the tariffs?”
• Walmart: FY2024 revenues $681 billion (+5.1% YoY). Net income jumped 25.3% to $19.4 billion, lifting its net profit margin to 2.9%.
• Target: Revenue $107.4b (-1.6%). Net income $4.14b (+49%). Profit margin 3.9%.
• Costco: Revenue $254.5b (+5.0%). Net income $7.37b (+17%). Profit margin 2.9%.
• Walgreens: Revenue $147.66 billion (+6.17%). Net Income -$8.64 billion (-5.9%)
• Amazon: Revenue $638.0b (+11%). Net income $59.2b (+95%). Profit margin 9.3%.
Apparently, even the largest and the most efficiently run retail giants are operating with a razor-thin margin. Retailers really have no choice but to pass on the tariffs to consumers, in the form of higher prices.
On May 15th, Walmart announced to raise prices starting in late April. The price hikes would accelerate in May, and a larger sting will start to be felt in June and July when the back-to-school shopping season goes into high gear.
Other retailers are expected to follow suit. Walmart’s action provides air cover for the tens of thousands of retailers to raise their prices freely.
My conclusion: Inflation will go up from May through the holiday season in December.
Higher interest cost will eat into the bottom line
While stock investors brushed off the Moody’s downgrade, the bond market has been in real trouble. As the US treasury bonds lost their “risk-free” status, debts of all kinds and all durations see a big spike in yield. Bond investors are undergoing a complete makeover of repricing bonds and reassigning a new “risk premium”.
On May 21st, the U.S. Treasury held an auction for 20-year bonds that fell significantly short of expectations. The lack of bidders—an alarming indicator of waning confidence in the U.S. economy—resulted in the yield on these bonds skyrocketing to 5.1%.
The bond yields go up even though the Fed holds rates steady. This indicates that central bank monetary policies are not very effective in shaping the long end of the bond market. Even if the Fed lowers the overnight Fed Funds rates, bond investors would still demand higher yield to compensate for the perceived risk increases for the once “risk-free” instruments. Commercial banks could keep interest rates high for mortgages, corporate bonds, auto loans and credit cards.
As of June 2nd, the futures market puts the odds of the Fed holding rates unchanged at 95.4% for its June 18th FOMC meeting, according to CME Group FedWatch tool.
www.cmegroup.com
My conclusion: The Fed may have little appetite for cutting rates if inflation goes up. When they cut the overnight rates, businesses and households may not get any relief from high interest expenses.
Trade tensions and geopolitical risks may stay elevated
Before the ink dries on a temporary agreement, the trade talk between U.S. and China has been stalled. The minister-level negotiation has gone nowhere, and it may take presidential talk to salvage the agreement. At this point, we could not make any assumption about any trade agreement. Its shape and form and timing are uncertain. If the trade talk breaks down, we will see a new round of tariff reescalation and retaliation.
On June 2nd, breaking news report that Ukraine carried out a large drone attack deep into the Russian territory. Russian retaliation is expected. After months of effort, potential ceasefire and peace negotiation could fall apart.
My conclusion: Trade and geopolitical tensions are both escalating, after early signs of calming down. These would hurt economic growth and dent investor appetite for risk.
Trading with Micro E-Mini Nasdaq 100 Index Futures
Based on my analysis above, I hold the opinion that good data may quickly turn bad in the coming weeks, and correction in the US stock market is imminent. Valuation at the current lofty level completely ignores the risk escalation closer on to us. Anyone sharing this view could express it by shorting the CME Micro E-Mini Nasdaq 100 Index Futures.
The Micro Nasdaq contract has a notional value of $2 times the index. At the Friday closing price of 21,578, each September contract is worth $43,156. The minimum margin for shorting one contract is $3,036 at the time of this writing.
The latest CFTC Commitments of Traders report shows that, as of May 27th, the total open interest for Emini Nasdaq and Micro Nasdaq futures are 275,143 and 204,499 contracts, respectively.
• Leverage Fund has 77,467 in long, 251,452 in short, and 10,472 in spreading
• The long-short ratio of 1-to-3.2 (= 77467/251452) show that the “Smart Money” is very bearish on the Nasdaq while the index gained nearly 10% in May
Hypothetically, if Nasdaq 100 were to pull back 5% before September, a short futures position will gain $2,157.8 (= 21578 * 0.05 * 2).
The risk of shorting the Nasdaq is that the stock index continues to rally. To hedge the downside risk, the trader could set a stop-loss at his order. For example, a stop loss at 23,000 for a short order would set the maximum loss to $2,844 (= (23000-21578) x 2).
Happy Trading.

#202524 - priceactiontds - weekly update - nasdaq e-mini futuresGood Day and I hope you are well.
comment: I do think we will continue to print lower highs from 22094. Very clear invalidation price for that thesis is a print above 21855. 21000 is my target for the next days/weeks. A strong daily bear close below the daily 20ema around 21450 would be my confirmation. Above 21855 we continue to chop sideways and could retest 22094.
current market cycle: trading range most likely for now until we have a daily close below 20ema
key levels for next week: 21450 - 21855 (below 21450 - next target is 21000 and above 21855 next target is 22000)
bull case: Bulls outdid themselves by almost completely reversing the strong sell-off on Friday. That certainly was unexpected but now is decision time. Can they keep the market above 21500 a second time? If so, most bears will likely be quick to give up again and we can continue sideways 21500 - 22100 or even higher. Since we did not close below the daily ema, bulls remain in control.
Invalidation is below 21450
bear case: Bears see the bull wedge as broken and want to trade down from here. The top we have formed is a credible double top with ath 22656 and good for swing shorts. Bulls have been given two amazing macro numbers last week, especially the cpi print and we could not break strongly above. Instead we got a spike and it crumbled afterwards. Those are the type of things that don’t happen in bull trends.
Invalidation is above 21855
short term: Neutral for now and I wait for the breakout to either side. I want to favor the bears but they were so weak after the Globex sell spike on Friday, it’s not wise to hope they suddenly become strong.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-06-15: Daily close below 21450 is my validation for the new bear trend which has the first bigger target at 21000 but I think we will printed below 20000 again this year. Structure is obviously not yet bearish, so don’t be early if you want confirmation and can’t/won’t scale in to shorts higher.
For tomorrow’s Asia open (6 PM EST):NASDAQ Futures Setup – Asia Open Outlook (6 PM EST)
Watching price action closely around zone #24. If we reject this level, I’m anticipating a potential short setup targeting zones #25 and #26, with a final support area near #27. Will reassess if price breaks above and holds #24.
Stay nimble — volatility around session opens can offer great opportunities.

NASDAQ Daily Observation Scenarios & Probabilities In ContextCME_MINI:NQ1! CME_MINI:MNQ1! IG:NASDAQ BLACKBULL:NAS100 EIGHTCAP:NDQ100
Well obviously they're 3 possible outcomes but the idea is how we read the context in the upcoming week as the market unfolds each day. But, weighing the outcome based on the current news / fundamentals I would be leading towards 2/3 the the Bullish Long-Term Trend still holds true.
My assumptions would be holding on to the news development of the Iran Israel conflict.
Based on TA heavy we would be still be bullish but a good retracement as the Negotiations of ceasefire with market volatility increase as each time there's a news update with the Conflict & top that with the current Trump Tweets, Tariffs, FED Rate cuts.
Market is weighing the value of this Conflict escalation and deciding the time to price it in. Because market is always forward thinking, IMO.
I personally will be trading these scenarios each-day as the market updates me with NEWS, TA and mainly the Key Levels. As a day futures trader, I will be preparing for volatility. Not as much as the "Liberation Day Sell Off" or the "90 Day Tariff Extension Rally", but futures traders thrive in these kind of market conditions.
It is also sad to hear about the news, or course fundamentally. I am also hoping for the market to make a strong stance absorbing it all with a positive outlook.
Bullish Scenario:
- Market ignores all the war in the Middle East and a rally continuation to make New All Time High.
- News updates on the development of de-escalation war negotiations each day which ends up with a Weekly positive green candle.
Neutral/Consolidation
- News updates brings about both positive & negative impact causing market to range giving the opportunity for accumulation / distribution.
Bearish
- Bad news WAR escalation, Tariffs, Not enough Rate Cuts, Bearish Data.
- Sell side Liquidity wipeout
NOTE:
* 2/3 outcome leaning Bullish because even when a retracement / pullback happens we will rally back up
* since it's a daily observation, i will be looking into the Daily Key Levels of Support/Resistance, Fib Levels, Liquidity Zones, Volume Levels to be tested.
* I wish all good luck and god bless. Thank You.
NASDAQ Weekly Analysis TA & Fundamental News Alignment CME_MINI:MNQ1! IG:NASDAQ CME_MINI:NQ1! NASDAQ:NDX BLACKBULL:NAS100
Highest Probability for the upcoming week?
Not looking good with the Friday news tension of Israel Iran war escalation.
Not much of a selloff coming in, I guess the market is still in the wait and see mode of the upcoming weekend news development; could even be in the next week if the success of de-escalation negotiations.
The TA sure look eerie though, big a** H&S formation completion of the last leg. If successful, could we well be in the recession? Will this scare off the FED and force them to CUT RATES?
Smart money opportunity to buy another big dip?
Have we been in a real proper pullback after a massive rally from "Liberation Day" ?
I wonder why we can't break this level in the last week, could it be that the Smart Money selling to Retail?
It sure does look like an exhaustion point doesn't it?
BEARISH SCENARIO:
- Final Leg of the H&S lead to a massive selloff by Retail and Smart Money buying the dip.
- News WAR breakout with Iran vs Israel, with every development leading to a sell-off / rollover.
- Weekend news leading to a massive gap lower in the Monday Asia Open.
- Last week weekly candle close RED wick/shadow suggesting a strong resistance/ rejection level. A high-probability of the next candle will also be a RED Weekly Continuation?
BULLISH SCENARIO:
- Healthy Retracement and holding strong support levels.
- Even for any bearish news the market holds & the participant buying power will maintain a healthy pullback.
- Sweep up to the liquidity making New All Time High.
NOTE:
*This is a weekly analysis, Price Action within the week will reflect differently from day to day.
*The outcome will only be projected by the end of next week.
*Please do comment on your thoughts, a healthy discussion is always welcomed.
*I am publishing my thoughts and context to the way I interpret the market, in no way I am giving any financial advise.
2025-06-12 - priceactiontds - daily update - nasdaq
Good Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: Neutral around 21900. 21700 was the lowest I expected and we printed 21716.5. Weekly close around 21900 is the most likely outcome for me. We have no acceptance above 21900 and none below 21800 as well. A trend day tomorrow would surprise me.
current market cycle: trading range
key levels: 21700 - 22100
bull case: Bulls want to close the week above 21800 to print a green one. They had spikes above 21900 but nothing else. They are still somewhat in control because we are not making meaningful lower lows and are still at the highs but price action is neutral since last week so no side has the clear advantage. Weekly close above 22000 would be a surprise to me.
Invalidation is below 21680.
bear case: Bears have to close the gap down to 21680 if they want more downside. Until then they have to fade everything above 21900 since that has been profitable for a week now. A weekly close below 21800 would be a decent sell signal going into next week and a clear break of the wedge. Problem for the bears is the same as for bulls on the other side. On the 4h chart we have big tails above and below bars. Market is completely in balance around 21850ish and therefor I expect a weekly close around that price.
Invalidation is above 22100.
short term: Completely neutral. New high or low would surprise me tomorrow. I expect a choppy session where mean reversion will likely be king.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-05-24: Will update this section more after the coming week but in general the thesis is as for dax. Down over the summer and sideways to up into year end. I don’t think the lows for this year are in.
trade of the day: Longing 21730 because it was support all week and the obvious trade.

Nasdaq Potential Daily ReversalIPDA Speaking + Contract closure we can see speed take place to reach BSL outside IPDA range but why whould the just past 20 days HRLR instead of moving higher with speed
Because of Intermarket striction
maybe to build more stops there but it would be greater in terms of liquidity efficiency to place a fake D high in here and reverse, take the liquidity lower on D HRLR and then continue higher to reach 22,672.00.
The key here is: do we breach above the D SIBI or do we react from it.

Live Paper Trading Using my own strategy. I was playing a break of a downtrend with OB at certain levels, I waited for a confirmation to get into the trade.
I let the trade play out to long i could have taken profits around the $110 mark, I wanted to see how far i could ride it until it reversed on me. I need to learn how to scale out as well i could have scaled out 4 out of my 8 contracts and rid the other 4. Im taking this learning expiernce by taking profits sooner rather than letting the chop take my gains away. I would say i had a great entry maybe 30 seconds to soon but i caught a 5 minute move. I need to take note that if Im going to scalp just make it a 3-5 minute play.
