NQ1! trade ideas

Week of August 11 - NQ/VIX/CL/10yrWowza, what a week we just had! Sunday night the Yen carry trade started to unwind in a magnificent fashion. We came in on Monday morning with the NDX down 1k handles, and the VIX at 60. Most of this has corrected itself as NQ actually closed the week +60 handles - but there is something more sinister at play I fear. This week is going to be a HUGE DEAL for the weekly charts - as I think we are setting up into the final parabolic move into the election. The Nasdaq opened the week down 1k handles on Monday morning, and the dip was properly bought. The 17,340 area is a BIG deal as it marks a quarterly and weekly low. Where we closed on Friday 8/2 had me REALLY bullish coming into last week - but the damage that was created on the charts from Sunday nights sell-off cant be ignored. The REALLY SNEAKY part here- it that we now have bear flags on the daily and h4 charts for NQ - and they closed us up here just to fill the opening weekly gap and volume imbalance. We could see them spike this another 400 handles from here - and it wouldn't invalidate the sell case. Bottom line - I can't buy until I see them run those HUGE equal lows on the quarterly/weekly charts down at 17,340. Once we do that, I will be looking to get VERY LARGE in longs to ~24k area for the final blow off move on NQ. The VIX had quite the week - it was up ~ 60 when we came into the cash open on Monday morning - the highest weekly level since the pandemic panic spike. That said, the weekly chart has completely broken out - and I want to view this as a backtest. There is a small weekly FVG that will form on Monday for the VIX to drop and fill - but I am viewing this as an area I want to see the VIX hold - as I believe they will drop the indexes from here for one more flush - just before the final long. Crude Oil actually had a REALLY nice week last week. The lows were set Monday morning, and oil never looked back. I am looking for oil to continue it march up to the 79 area for the backtest. We need to reject 79 with vigor and star the march lower for oil as the global economy slips into recession - as oil and the bond market are already aware. The 10yr bounced at a very predictable place and has now begun its backtest. I am looking for the 10yr to sweep last weeks highs, before resuming its march lower as we head towards autumn and into a global recession. So here is the setup I am watching for this week; I want to see NQ sweep the lows of last week - this is a MASSIVE level on the quarterly and weekly charts - there is TONS of liquidity down there that Market Makers can use to sweep and order pair long for the final parabolic leg higher. I want to see the 10yr bounce to sweep last weeks highs - and then continue to make fresh lows. We took out December lows last week. I want to see oil continue it march higher to the 79 level to complete the weekly structure backtest - then drop due to weakening global macro. Until next week - We'll be watching.

Why I Consider This Short Setup to be One of the Best EverI've been watching this NQ setup for a couple of weeks now ever since it broke below its major uptrend from 2023. That was a big move down, but after only a couple of weeks, NQ is back for the retest just like I was hoping for. There are many things that make this a fantastic setup in my eyes, but the risk/reward is also great because you are entering right on the level if it breaks against you, you can exit quickly with minimal damage. On the other hand, if this works and it ends up being a major top on NQ, you could hold comfortably for months and watch the cash flow in assuming the trend continues, which is what stocks usually do. TLDW: Multi-year pattern breaks and retests on the major averages and many stocks including the mag 7 and semis. Everything is seemingly at major multi-year trend tests at the same time, so I expect fireworks here. My bias for now is short, but we'll find out soon enough if I'm going to need to take a loss and flip long or not. Remember, a multi-year pattern can take weeks or possibly months of consolidation before a breakout, it doesn't always happen in a day or a week. We may have some big red days, but this trade is more about the belief that regardless of short term fluctuations in price, we will trend lower for the foreseeable future. We'll see how this one turns out.

20240814 NQMNO is very close to 8.30 level. That is a consolidation before the final spike to the upside. The 8.30 spike to the downside was perfect ss raid before the anticipated move to new high of the day (HOD). I would like to see the end of the high forming at 9.30 and the first displacement with MSS to the downside will be the sign in IOF that the Wednesday High of the Week profile is the one for this week. Today is very nice day with CPI to create such a reversal move. Majority has no doubts that price will continue to go higher. One more spike to the upside will be the perfect trap for the late longs. My downside DOL is discount of the current dealing range and 15m +Mitigation Block.

NQ Major Trend RetestWhen I saw NQ break its major uptrend from 2023, my immediate thought was that it would lead to an extended sell off, which it did, but it was short lived. NQ has returned to the trendline in a matter of weeks and closed nearly right on it heading into CPI. I expect fireworks based on where ES, NQ, and VX are all at along with many mega caps and semiconductors as well. I think this is a perfect setup, it may not work and it sucks it triggered in the final hours of the day before CPI. I didn't feel comfortable taking a max size position, which is usually what I do when I see something I think is this good, but I didn't want to risk too much heading into major data releases and other chaos. No need, we should have plenty of opportunity to short in the future if I am in fact right about the market crash. Remember you don't have to trade every day, most profitable traders don't. You'll end up netting a lot more cash if you spend more time planning and journaling trades while focusing on improving your most detrimental flaws, rather than trading only to make a profit.

NDX NQ Futures - Election Woes?Taking a quick look at NASDAQ - it's a bit premature but very possible we are in the beginning phase of the creation of a right shoulder in a head and shoulders formation. Again, premature and totally unconfirmed at this point, but I wanted to point it out at a minimum and get your eyes on it. I discuss in the video how to measure this kind of formation, but if (big if) we break down in this election cycle, we should see a capitulation-style move going into EOY that could take us back to November 2023 lows. Down in the low 14000's which would be something nobody is keeping an eye on. Getting above 19000 on NQ futures would be a big deal and would help build confidence that this is not a head and shoulders formation and we are in a decent recovery phase. Don't overtrade - today in particular was pretty choppy with only a few good names out there from a day-trading perspective.
