Nasdaq future forecastHere's a (NQ1!) Nasdaq 100 quarterly candlestick logarithmic chart. With a trajectory trend channel based off 20 years of price discovery history. And 4 year vertical lines based off US president terms. Plus, 1 year vertical lines to forecast the possible ROI range in the future. This 20 year trend is invalidated with a break of the support or resistance lines. 2025 close high = 30,900 avg = 23,740 low = 18,000 2026 close high = 35,600 avg = 27,600 low = 21,300 2027 close high = 41,150 avg = 32,500 low = 25,250 2028 close high = 47,900 avg = 37,800 low = 30,200

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 under pressure and aims for 18'400NQ is being pushed down, and a rebound doesn’t seem possible at the moment. There are some fundamental factors supporting this weakness. However, as a chart analyst, I focus on the signals within the chart itself. What I see is a possible target around 18,400, which aligns with the L-MLH. With the weakness of the MAG7, the Nasdaq is unlikely to make further gains. The options are sideways or down. The latter is what I trade according to the rulebook.

Weekly and Today analysis for Nasdaq, Oil, and GoldNasdaq The Nasdaq closed lower following the non-farm payroll data release. As noted in yesterday’s analysis, the possibility of a sharp drop in the third wave of selling on the 240-minute chart was highlighted and has largely materialized. The monthly 5-day moving average (20,880) emphasized this month acted as support, forming a lower wick. On the weekly chart, the MACD has crossed below the Signal line, generating a sell signal. The index is positioned between the 3-day, 5-day, and 10-day moving averages above and the 20-day moving average below, suggesting the possibility of a range-bound market this week. If the market moves upward at the beginning of the week, it may decline later, and conversely, if it drops initially, a rebound may occur later in the week. The upper range is projected at 21,360–21,400, while the lower range is expected to be below 20,880. Flexible responses to early-week movements are crucial, especially with Wednesday’s CPI release likely to serve as a key turning point. On the daily chart, the MACD and Signal lines remain below the zero line, making sell-side strategies near the 3-day or 5-day moving averages preferable during rebounds. Downward movement toward the 120-day moving average is possible, but there’s a strong likelihood of a rebound after forming a lower wick, so avoid chasing the sell-off. On the 240-minute chart, while selling pressure remains strong in the third wave of the downtrend, support and a potential trend reversal could occur below 20,700. Overall, a sell-on-rebound strategy is advantageous today. Oil Crude oil surged on the possibility of U.S. sanctions on Russian crude exports. As previously noted, oil continues to display a pattern of reversing trends and sharply rising from the bottom. In pre-market trading, prices have already surpassed $78, but with the significant divergence from the 5-day moving average, caution is warranted today. On the weekly chart, the divergence from the 5-week moving average and the presence of previous highs around the $78 range suggest that even if prices rise further, chasing the rally should be avoided. The most favorable scenario this week involves buying on dips near the 5-week moving average, with corrections potentially reaching $73.4–$74. On the daily chart, more time is needed for shorter-term moving averages, such as the 20-day and 60-day, to align with current prices. On the 240-minute chart, the MACD has formed a golden cross, generating a buy signal. However, if prices fail to surge further, divergence in the MACD could occur. Pay attention to potential sell signals and additional declines. As the rapid rise calls for a correction, prices are likely to consolidate around $78 during pre-market trading, making range-bound strategies favorable. Gold Gold surged on Friday due to reduced expectations of a Fed rate cut following employment surprises. On the weekly chart, gold has formed a bullish candle, breaking above key short-term moving averages. However, the significant divergence between the MACD and Signal lines suggests that surpassing the previous high near 2,760 will be challenging. On the daily chart, the MACD is above the zero line, and the Signal line is trending upward, showing a buying trend. Buying on dips near the strong support zone at the 5-day and 60-day moving averages around 2,690 is a favorable short-term strategy. With additional upward movement possible, a buy-on-dips approach is recommended. However, volatility is expected to increase with Tuesday’s PPI and Wednesday’s CPI data, so plan accordingly. On the 240-minute chart, strong buying momentum continues, with the RSI entering the overbought zone, making premature selling risky. Weekly Overview This week, early movements are likely to continue last week’s trends, with a potential inflection point around Wednesday’s CPI data. Manage risks carefully, and have a successful trading week! ■Trading Strategies for Today Nasdaq - Bearish Market -Buy Levels: 20,945 / 20,900 / 20,780 / 20,740 / 20,680 -Sell Levels: 21,110 / 21,210 / 21,310 Oil - Bullish Market -Buy Levels: 76.55 / 76.00 / 75.60 / 74.60 -Sell Levels: 78.35 / 78.85 / 79.45 / 80.00 Gold - Range-bound Market -Buy Levels: 2,713 / 2,703 / 2,695 / 2,685 / 2,677 -Sell Levels: 2,726 / 2,735 / 2,742 / 2,753 / 2,759 These strategies apply only during pre-market hours.

NQ Technical chartNQ Analysis Examining the overall 4-hour trend, we observe a pattern in the downward and upward price movements: Downward Move (AB): From 22,428.75 to 21,016.75. Retracement (BC): The upward retracement of BC was exactly 78.6% of the total downward move (AB). Price action moved up to this level before rejecting. Similarly: After rejecting at 22,118.75, the price dropped to retest at 20,983.75. This resulted in another upward retracement (DE) to 21,872.75, which again represented 78.6% of the previous downward move (CD). On Friday, the lowest tick on NQ was recorded at 20,874.75. If we apply Fibonacci to the most recent downward move: The 78.6% retracement level is at 21,674.00, marking a potential area of interest above. Below, the open areas of interest are: 78.6% retracement at 20,803.50 88.6% retracement at 20,605.75 This highlights key zones for potential price action and reaction points moving forward. Monday NQ Price Action Prediction Key Levels to Watch: Support: 20,803.50 (78.6% retracement): Critical support zone. 20,605.75 (88.6% retracement): Deeper support if the lower level is breached. Resistance: 21,674.00 (78.6% upward retracement): Key resistance zone. 21,872.75: Previous swing high and secondary resistance. Predicted Scenarios: Bullish: A bounce from 20,803.50 could lead to a rally toward 21,674.00. Breaking above 21,674.00 may push prices to 21,872.75. Bearish: Breaking below 20,803.50 could trigger a drop to 20,605.75. Rejection at 21,674.00 may signal continued downside toward support levels.

Nasdaq 2025 outlookAs we complete 2024 and the significant move we have experienced in the NQ this year, its time to have a look at the possible outcome for 2025. the ascending triangle suggests a topping pattern and as the Santa Claus rally completes and portfolio adjustments for year-end, I have to conclude that we will see a reasonable correction in January/February next year. I have drawn boxes to indicate my support and resistance areas. As we all have found out this year sentiment is a primary driver of markets but we are so extended and selling rallies is challenging. I don't believe in fighting the trend but look for a set-up that limits your risk, happy holidays and take care

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.

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.

DXY,SPX;NDX,GOLD WIf you look at my old DXY analysis, it can give you a hint. I mentioned that I'm still biased towards the downside for SPX and NDX. The AI hype is good, but in my opinion, it's causing more harm than good. Meanwhile, wars are ongoing, unstable democracies and many narcissistic people are causing trouble. In addition to all of this, racist parties and mindsets were hyped before WW2 as well.I just want to share:)In my opinion, there will be lightning-fast chaos, I just don't know when.

Prepare Nasdaq for Monday on weekend 25.01.11Hello, this is Greedy All-Day. Today’s analysis focuses on the NASDAQ. Briefing Results Chart: Buy Perspective: No buy entry signals were triggered during session. Sell Perspective: While the initial blue ascending trendline break could have been a sell entry, the timing occurred outside of market hours (during the Asian, European, and U.S. sessions), rendering the move insignificant. Thus, the sell entry was based on the extended yellow ascending trendline. Upon its breakdown, the target was exceeded, resulting in a total drop of 325 points and approximately $6,500 in profit per contract. Daily Chart Analysis (Perpetual Contract) Chart: On the daily chart: Lagging Span (Chikou Span): The Lagging Span has definitively entered below the candles, suggesting a high probability of a trend reversal. For a full reversal, the price must break above 21555. Current Position: The price is currently at 21016. The Lagging Span suggests the potential for upward movement toward 21437 on Monday, barring further breakdowns. Green Box: Previously acted as a support zone, but the red box candlesticks broke below, creating new lows. Ichimoku Cloud: While the price has entered the cloud, it continues to close above the upper boundary, maintaining support for now. Key Moving Averages: Without a gap-up on Monday, the daily candle is likely to open below the 20 EMA and 60 EMA. Major resistance levels are at 21090 and 21440, respectively. March Futures Contract Analysis Chart: While largely similar to the perpetual contract: The price closed within the Ichimoku Cloud. Intraday trading on Friday even saw the price break below the cloud’s lower boundary. Key Levels: Resistance: 21213 (cloud upper boundary). Support: 20930 (already broken once, so its strength as support is questionable). Key Daily Chart Patterns Chart: Two notable patterns emerge on the daily chart: Descending Triangle (Red Lines): Height: ~6.8%. The pattern broke downward on Friday, suggesting a potential target at 19594 (6.8% below the breakdown point). Falling Wedge (Blue Lines): While this indicates a corrective downtrend, a breakout above the blue box could signal a return to the highs or even new all-time highs. Both patterns offer insight into market sentiment but require confirmation to act upon. Monday Trading Strategy Chart: Buy Perspective: Entry Trigger: A breakout above the green box + 21206. Context: The price has shown resistance at 21206 following a rebound and subsequent decline. Targets: Resistance levels are marked on the chart; verify specific price points on the chart’s left side. Key Consideration: Without a breakout above 21562 (light blue box), the overall trend remains bearish. Any potential buy would likely be a temporary retracement within a broader downtrend. Sell Perspective: Recommendation: Monday may be best suited for observation rather than aggressive sell entries. Risks: There are no clear support trendlines, and selling on a break of the previous low carries considerable risk. Conclusion The NASDAQ is a dynamic and unpredictable market where what appears to be a correction may not actually be one. Recent declines can trigger panic among traders, but it’s critical to approach the situation with patience and a calm, strategic mindset. Avoid emotional decisions and focus on the bigger picture. Trade smart and stay prepared for any market movements. 🚀
