2025-03-18 - priceactiontds - daily update - nasdaqGood Evening and I hope you are well. comment: Neutral. Today was really bad for the bulls. The rejection from 20000 should not have go so deep. I now think we will likely chop between 19000 - 20000 until Opex. Bulls had the momentum on their side and the breakout above 20100 was strong enough to go higher but here we are. Lows 19346 have to hold or we flush to 19k. Around 19700 I’d rather do jack shit. 50% of this range is Monday’s low at 19755m which was also late resistance today. current market cycle: strong bear trend but pullback expected key levels: 19000 - 21000 bull case: Bulls did good and then fumbled it hard. They now need to keep this a higher low above 19346 or we could flush down to 19000. Technically this is a trading range 19300 - 20200 and we could make lower lows and higher highs in this range, give or take. My assumption was stronger buying into opex but for that we needed to stay above 19700ish. Now what could convince me that this could become a strong short squeeze into Friday? Immediate reversal during Globex and a grind up to 20000 before EU opens. Very very unlikely. One last tiny argument bulls could have is the retest one but for that today’s low has to hold and we just have to grind up. Invalidation is below 19604. bear case: Bears outdoing themselves currently. Strong surprise today and now I think any upside is likely limited to around 21200. If bears are really strong, we make lower lows tomorrow and then chop into Opex on Friday. I see this as low probability and I would prefer sideways inside the current range. short term: Neutral around 19700. Bearish around 20000 if bears come around again and bullish if we reverse strongly from either 19600 or 19400. medium-long term - Update from 2024-03-16: My most bearish target for 2025 was 17500ish, given in my year-end special. We don’t know if we have printed the W1 of the new bear trend or repeat the pattern from 2024, where we sold of very strong to reverse even more strongly and make new all time highs. Market needs a bounce and around 20000/20500 we will see the real battle for the next weeks. trade of the day: Long during EU session was decent but more so for dax. This short on US open obviously but I don’t think it was easy, given the bullishness before.

MNQ 9:30 Open Trade Idea 💡 Trade Idea shown live here, beautiful setup that was respected very nicely during the 9:30 open. The area we pointed out on the previous video: Where I stated price was likely trading up to fill in that FVG before dropping lower was respected perfectly. I was rendering the video above when it happened. Hence, why you see me enter late here. I could have been more patient and waited to enter at the 50% of the bearish fvg level. But regardless, I was able to profit $31 and make back the $30 I was in drawdown for. Had this been NQ we would've made over $695 on this one trade. This is teaching us discernment in our decision making and how to trust our bias and trade ideas. We caught over 130 points on this one MNQ trade and the potential was over 400 points as shown on this video. We were targeting the bullish 1h fvg and sellside liquidity (equal lows) If you guys found this insightful give it a like and comment down below. I would also love to know if any of you guys would like me to share any specific ideas or go over anything in particular. Let me know!

Missed trade opportunity on MNQ due to Tight SLOnce again, we shifted sl too soon and got stopped out of a good trade. It was nice to see the outcome, it ended up tapping inside of that Volume imbalance once again before falling over quickly for the remaining sellside liqudity. If my SL was kept at the highs we would've captured the whole move. This week I have been feeling a little tired and my birthday is this thursday guys!! lol I would hate to have a bad trading week on my BDAY 😢. I don't know if that's why I am being so cautious, I wanna enjoy my week. haha Anyways, I will post any new trades if I get into another one.

So, we have momentum, clear support at the yellow CL, a potential new push through the white CL and a loooooot of Air...and stop/losses above to be sucked in §8-) I'm long with a stop below the yellow CL low, and with multiple targets to the upside.

My Trading mistakes 3.17.25This video was a prime example of good trades taken just poor management. As you guys can tell from my dialog, I was clearly not level headed when it came to my decision making today. I was trying to follow ICT's commentary but I was getting confused as I was also trying to interpret it with my own understanding of the current levels on my charts. As I stated in previous videos, I was feeling lots of anxiety and emotions today because I tend to go through that after a very good trading week. I feel like it's personal confidence after a good trading week gets affected due to me striving for perfection. We see several mistakes in this trade, I was buying at premium levels, 19,750 - 19,798.50. Till ICT commented that he would not be long here (Thanks ICT, idk what i was thinking 😂 ) I then revised my idea and saw we had traded under the Bullish fvg from 9:51am, once price trades through it that is usually one of my favorite trades to take because price tends to react very quickly to those areas. If you're right or wrong, you will find out quickly usually. Once price reversed, I caught a beautiful trade of over 300 points, but because it was MNQ and I had already taken several losses from forcing my trades, I needed many more points to make back the money I had lost to prior trades. This leads to a flawed thinking of mine, I tend to target trades over 300 - 600 points.. And the problem is that often times I will be right and catch those trades, but its unrealistic of me to always expect myself to catch these trades as not every trading day will present me those price moves. So some things I have learned today through my trading mistakes and losses: 1. Place SL above the highs when I enter a trade (the volume imbalance tapping me out made me want to cry 😢 lol) sl was hit at 10:25am. Plan of action, be more patient with my trades and if I enter a trade, trust it fully, calculate my risk and accept the trade for what it is. 2. We failed to take profit at the 9:30am lows. It was a clean profit, inside of the 1st presented FVG. I most definitely should have taken profits there, despite my trade entry being above where price traded to and continuing lower. I most likely would've not wanted to hold through the trade or might have trailed my sl past BE causing me to get stopped out with minimal profits. Below is the trade where we can see we could've simply risked 40 points to mave over 300. Its better to just take the profit at the liquidity area (the lows) and then watch to see if price will continue lower or reverse for learning purposes. There is no need to always catch 300+ moves BRUNA. Come on. Lets keep it simple. Anyways guys, this is my attempt of analyzing my mistakes today. I am wholeheartedly in this trading journey and I wanna share all the mistakes and losses and problems with you guys in hopes that if someone is also struggling with these issues, that you might learn from my mistakes and maybe learn something from my mark ups.

MNQ 12:00PM Trade EntryThis is one of the trades we took today which was very good trade, however due to me targetting the buyside liquidity all the way at 19,788.75 caused me to not realize my profits at the 16:00 mark. I was full of emotions today and I believe its just old patterns that I am working on breaking. We had a great trading week last week, so we must remain level headed and focused. I can see here that my problem today was just not taking profits due to wanting to hold for bigger trades. This is something we must break from and fix in our trading. When I am more focused on quick trades targeting near term liquidity pools it is when I am most confident. But I realize as I start getting better trades I tend to try to hold on to them more, specially after last week where we caught over 800+ points. We were able to catch over 1,000+ points today, the sad part is... I was at work and did not enter on my funded challenge, I entered it on paper demo just to see the results of the trade and let me tell you, it broke my heart to not have entered because it FLEW to my TP. This is part of the journey though, and I realize I must get a hold of these emotions and anxiety to get into trades and make money. 3/17/2025 - 12:01pm -12:14pm (13 minute trade) 3:00 was our entry 16:00 Should have been our TP. (We should've realized that the next 1h candle that opened at 1pm would have a manipulation lower) We could've utilized the IFVG once again at 12:46pm for the entry for the perfect trade idea. This was around the area where I entered on my DEMO. - We used the 1H FVG which was used as support near its 50% - Volume Imbalance from 11:33am -11:34am candles. It was used as support - We also respected the Bearish FVG (turned IFVG) from the 11:33am candle. We can also see that we create a inverse head and shoulders pattern 2 times near this area. The first one we caught the trade, just failed to take TP at 16:00 mark at the 19,741.50 high. The second Inverse head and shoulders pattern occurred 1:03-1:05pm. This was also a slight tap above the 1h bullish fvg which was the final piece needed to take price higher to fill in the 4h SIBI from the March 10, 2025 6:00am candle. We ended up taking a total loss of $214 on our Top step account today after all trades.
