Bullish BreakoutThere's a lot of greed towards the upside in this current market state. Fear consolidation is confirmation of this. Stoploss below said fear consolidation pricing.
NQ1! trade ideas
Nasdaq 100. Mistakes and Daily Orderflow 27.05.25Covered the mistakes that I have made while reading the price. Wanted the shorts although the daily and the 4H suggested bullish price action. The good think was didn't forced. Just left the market after booking partials and breakeven
Post that took one long towards the Volume Imbalance
NQ: 197th trading session - recapI'm back, haven't had great days. School stress is really annoying me rn. I can't concentrade. Tomorrow, I will skip school and trade, I will be locked in, hopefully. And thursdays a holiday day in Germany - hopefully not in the US so the markets open...
Nasdaq 100 3 Bar Trendline now Intact!Hey traders so as you can see you don't need indicators just a simple drawing of a straightline to try to get on the right side of the market. Does it always work NO but most of the time it does. So now we need to wait for the pullback before considering to enter from the long side. Have your order ready and always use risk management.
Don't chase the market let it come to you!
Enjoy,

Quick Win on MNQ with Over $250 Profit — Here’s the Setup!Today’s trade was a perfect execution using an inverse fair value gap. I spotted a bearish fair value gap that had been disrespected, and instead of fading it, I flipped the bias and used it as an inverse gap, anticipating price would not trade under it. With my stop just below, I targeted the buy-side liquidity near the London kill zone highs.
The result? A smooth ride to over 300 points and a $250+ profit in a single entry, reaching target with precision. This is how it’s done when you combine technical setups with market context. Keep your risk low, target the right liquidity zones, and let the market work for you.

Reversal Fakeout to Grab liquidity NQ1In this bullish continuation setup, big players (institutional traders, hedge funds, and market makers) are actively maneuvering around key levels. After price bounces from the Order Block area, these entities aim to manipulate liquidity by triggering stop-loss placements before continuing the trend.
How They Operate:
Stop-Hunting: Institutions know where retail traders place stops—often below key support or VWAP. They drive price lower to collect liquidity before pushing the market higher.
Fakeout Moves: A sudden dip below VWAP or the Order Block might shake out weak hands before price aggressively resumes the bullish trend.
Accumulation Before Expansion: Large players accumulate positions inside the Order Block area while creating an illusion of bearish pressure, trapping shorts before the next push up.
Trade Psychology & Execution:
Spot the Trap: If price dips unexpectedly, assess volume spikes—if liquidity is being swept without follow-through downside movement, it’s likely a stop-hunt.
Hold Strong Levels: A bullish continuation may unfold after liquidity is collected, as institutions reclaim price above VWAP, fueling the next leg higher.
Strategic Stop Placement: Avoid placing stops too close to obvious levels—consider wider stops below strong liquidity zones to survive manipulation tactics.
The key takeaway? Smart money plays around liquidity zones, forcing weak hands out before driving price in the intended direction. Stay patient, analyze the setup, and position wisely to ride the bullish wave after the institutions have had their turn.

NASDAQ Futures – Institutional Levels UnfoldingNASDAQ Futures – Institutional Levels Unfolding
Price is currently consolidating just below a key supply zone at 21,960–22,330, where multiple inefficiencies and prior order flow imbalances converge. The weekly narrative suggests potential expansion if buyers can reclaim 22,330, which unlocks the path toward 22,660–22,860—a macro liquidity cluster resting above.
On the downside, liquidity voids remain exposed between 20,890–20,670 and 19,850–19,400, where algorithmic rebalancing may find efficiency if sell-side pressure reactivates.

Aggressive Moves Around VWAP: The CatalystWhen NQ1 exhibits an aggressive move relative to the VWAP, it typically indicates that large players—such as institutionals and hedge funds—are taking notice. An aggressive break above the VWAP can signal strong bullish momentum, while an aggressive breakdown below it suggests equally forceful bearish pressure. In both instances, the intensity of the move often precedes a significant directional commitment from the market.
The Critical Role of Pullback Confirmation
However, the initial surge or drop isn’t enough on its own for a reliable signal. The true confirmation comes when the price pulls back to the VWAP. For instance:
Bullish Scenario: After an aggressive upward breakout, if the price retests the VWAP and forms a solid bullish (green) candle, this pullback confirmation reinforces that the move is supported by institutional buying. It reassures traders that the upward momentum isn’t a false breakout, giving greater confidence in a long position.
Bearish Scenario: Conversely, if the price aggressively falls below the VWAP and then pulls back to retest it—this time showing a strong bearish (red) candle—it signals that the downtrend is supported and genuine. The pullback confirmation filters out noise and helps avoid premature exits or entries.
This "Break + Confirmation" setup is key to distinguishing between fleeting price fluctuations and sustainable trends in NQ1.
What This Reaction Tells Us
The way NQ1 reacts when nearing the VWAP is essential in shaping trade decisions:
An aggressive move signals a readiness of the market to commit in one direction.
A subsequent pullback and confirmation via a decisive candlestick pattern validates that initial move.
This dual-phase validation offers a high-probability scenario because it not only captures the momentum but also ensures that the price level around the VWAP holds up as a pivot point.
This approach helps to avoid false breakouts, ensuring that a directional bias—either long or short—is only taken once the market has clearly reasserted its intent through a retest phase.
In Summary
Observing how NQ1 reacts around the VWAP provides powerful clues about market sentiment:
Breakout or Breakdown: Aggressive moves away from the VWAP indicate that market forces are strong.
Retest Confirmation: A pullback to the VWAP with a confirming candle (green for bullish, red for bearish) is the reliable trigger for high-probability trading entries.
Institutional Insight: These moves often mirror the actions of larger market players who are shaping the next leg of the trend.
Ultimately, the strategy revolves around patiently waiting for both the aggressive move and the subsequent confirmation to align, thereby filtering out noise and solidifying a clear trade bias.
NQ weekly forecastFor the next week, the markt will go lower to retest the weekly FVG and then go higher
Daily Chart NQ Outlook 5-25-25CME_MINI:NQ1! --- Monthly close coming up, would prefer we close monthly candle above 20666.50 (top end of M FVG), then I would like to see a retracement back into Monthly FVG and it act as a support level, then price heads back up into 22654, relative equal highs.
If Buyers Support & Defend $21K Major Key Level, I'll look LONG!CME_MINI:MNQ1!
Stick to the plan, Never doubt the process. -500K
Last week Bulls were met with Major RESITANCE as they pushed just slightly above Daily Fib. Level 78.5%. The Resistance Price Level is around $21530.00 that sellers heavily defended.
My intended Playbook; If Buyers can defend & support MKL $21K, I do believe they will purge the HIGH and head towards Daily Fib. Level 88.6% / Daily Imbalance Zone. The Pricing of these Level are around $21,949.50...
Overall My outlook is LONG this week on this Asset looking to purge the HIGH and head into more premium pricing. Daily Fib. Level 88.6 / Imbalance Zone

2025.05.25 nasdaq weekend analysis📊 Friday Market Recap & Analysis
As previously mentioned, the trend had shifted downward, and I advised against taking long positions—short bias only.
Although the uptrend line was broken twice, one break was a fakeout and the price pulled back up.
Eventually, the red box support zone was broken, and the target was hit with a max drop of $363, resulting in a profit of around $7,260 per contract.
A rebound occurred as the US market opened, but a short-term trendline break at the close suggests Monday's market may lean downward—unless strong positive news emerges over the weekend.
🕰 Weekly Chart View (NASDAQ)
The weekly candle closed just slightly above the previous high, but not significantly—likely meaningless.
The 20-week MA is currently at 20,272.
If the NASDAQ breaks the recent low, there’s a high chance it could drop down to the 20-week MA + top of the Ichimoku Cloud.
📅 Daily Chart View (NASDAQ)
Buying pressure hasn’t fully disappeared yet—NASDAQ is still sitting above the 20-day MA, meaning the trend could revive.
However, if the 20-day MA (around 20,647) is broken, the price may fall into the orange box supply zone.
Historically, we’ve seen a box range movement between 20,400–19,300, so a break of the 20-day MA could lead to a repeat.
For long re-entry, the purple box zone (19,300–18,980) is a strong support area to watch.
✅ Conclusion
・Unless major news comes out over the weekend, Monday’s market will likely retest the 20-day MA.
・If that level breaks, the next drop could be around $1,000, which is significant.
・As always—wait patiently and take the trade when the market gives it to you.
Nasdaq and Indexes Week 22 BiasWhile the Indexes maitain a Bullish perspective on Weekly right now, I would not dare to anticipate next week "Flavour" but rather wait for The New Week Opening and if necessary till FOMC Minutes on Wednesday.
I would like to see immediate rejection from where price it's right now (allowing it to reach the IFVG starting at 20,690.00) to maintain a bullish bias rather then a deeper retrace, otherwise Bias may change on a Daily basis and pause that Weekly View for a later time .
#202521 - priceactiontds - weekly update - nasdaq futuresGood Day and I hope you are well.
comment: Not as bearish as I am on dax but I think market should not go above 21200 again and continue down. For that to happen, bears need to leave a strong bear gap somewhere. Gap down on Monday or Tuesday will likely do the trick. If the bull trend line holds and the current bear trend line breaks, There is the small possibility of another leg up but for now I can’t see that happening.
current market cycle: trading range
key levels for next week: 19000 - 21000
bull case: Bulls need to stop the selling and reverse to above 21000 fast or bears will push this much lower. If they manage to stay around 21000, more bears could doubt the strength of this selling but it’s a weak argument as of now. If bulls go only sideways around 21000 and close Monday above it, that would change a lot to the better for them. They have support from the daily 20ema until clearly broken.
Invalidation is below 20600.
bear case: Bears see a clear topping pattern with at least 3 decent tries of going above 21350 and now we have the strong selling on Friday with a total escalation of the trade war with the EU. Bears were given a gift and they need follow-through and leave a big gap that has to stay open, like the bulls did with the 3 current open gaps. Targets for the bears in order are the breakout retest 20277, 20000 and then the prior support around 19300/19400 which is around the 50% retracement.
Invalidation is above 21200.
short term: Neutral until we clearly have follow-through selling by the bears. I want to lean max bearish but need more confirmation.
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.
NQ and ES Market OutlookPossible Scenarios for NQ and ES this coming week, remember to always for the price to go sa mga POI natin before looking for an entry OR if you see price targeting your POI, then look for confirmations that yung POI is your target TP area.
NASDAQ 13/100 The price continued to move in a range on 15 min TF. The price has finally broken downward from the range.
NASDAQ 12/100 with two tradesI had done my analysis on NASDAQ. The market sentiment remains positive post Federal decision on interest rates.
NASDAQ Analysis 11/100 and one bumper trade !!!The market moved higher with Fed Decision on Interest rates. THe market sentiment remains positive.
NASDAQ Anaylsis 10/100 and two tradesI have done NASADAQ analysis. Trump recently announced a trade deal with UK which boosted the market sentiment. But will the rally continue?

Long above KL 365 and Short below. Price Action is all about Tricks, Tweets, Games and any low volume session opportunity (long side now). Still want to retest the 15m 2,000 point blast zone.
