Nas100NAS100 Safety Trade Setup
Strategy Name: Safety Trade — NAS100 (M5/M15)
Setup Description:
This is a momentum-based entry using the Safety Trade concept, identifying high-probability reversal or continuation zones based on layered confirmations across EMAs and price behavior.
Criteria:
• EMA Setup: 800 EMA (Trend), 200 EMA (Market structure), 50 EMA (Signal line), 5 EMA & 13 EMA (Entry signals)
• Zone Identification: Price pulls away from the 50 EMA and creates a significant gap (liquidity imbalance).
• Entry Signal:
• Red-Red-Green candle pattern for buys
• Green-Green-Red candle pattern for sells
• Confirmed by EMA re-alignment and RSI divergence (optional)
• Entry: After the third candle closes in the pattern.
• SL: Below/above the second candle wick.
• TP: 1:2 to 1:3 RR or key ADR zone.
• Preferred Session: New York (after 9:30 AM EST)
• Avoid: Major news releases or uncertain market conditions.

Nasdaq Level 3 Behavior MAAWKey Trapping Techniques
• False Breakouts (above M or below W pattern)
• Session Open Spikes (especially NY open or London open)
• News Traps (spike during news, then reversal after)
⸻
3. TIMING: WHEN TO EXPECT LEVEL 3 MOVES
Look for session overlap (London/NY) — that’s often where the Level 3 “move away” happens.
⸻
4. WHAT TO LOOK FOR
Here’s your sniper checklist:
Before Entry
• Clear M or W pattern (preferably over 3 sessions)
• 3 levels or signs of MM cycle (Level 1, 2 already done)
• Price at ADR High/Low
• EMA Alignment (5/13 cross for confirmation)
• TDI Confirmation (green cross red, volatility band bounce)
• High Volume Candle showing shift
• Price is not at mid-range, but at extremes
⸻
5. WHAT TO AVOID
• Entering during consolidation
• Trading Level 1 (accumulation = trap zone)
• Trading directly at news time (wait for spike/reaction)
• Ignoring ADR (if ADR is already complete, expect reversal)
• Entering too early before confirmation candle
• Big stop losses — you want sniper entries with tight stops
Step 1: Mark the Previous Day’s High/Low
• Use ADR to mark extremes
• Expect stop hunt near these levels
Step 2: Identify M/W Forming
• Look for 3 peaks/bottoms
• Wait for the final push and reversal
Step 3: Watch Session Opens
• London/NY open is often the trigger zone
• Observe price action closely 15–30 mins after open
Step 4: Wait for Confirmation
• Engulfing / Pin bar / Rejection candle
• 5 & 13 EMA cross
• TDI green crossing red & bouncing off band or base
• Align with 800 EMA and 50 EMA direction
Step 5: Enter the Trade
• Enter at or near confirmation candle close
• Stop loss: Just outside the trap wick (10–20 pips)
• Take profit: 1:3 or ride with trailing stop
⸻
7. BONUS: HIDDEN TRICKS
• Draw M/Ws on the 5M but validate them on the 15M
• Use the 800 EMA to see where the overall bias is
• Mark the 1st leg of M/W — wait for trap above/below
• Timing matters more than signals — don’t force entries outside session windows

Why NASDAQ Could Climb Higher Next Week
- Key Insights: The NASDAQ is showing strong bullish momentum, with a notable
25% rally over the past month. Technical indicators, including a breakout
above the 200-day moving average and a positive MACD reading, affirm upward
trends. However, overbought conditions suggest potential consolidation risks
in the short term. Key resistance is near 22,275, while 21,000 remains
critical support. As volatility dips, traders may find opportunities, but
caution is warranted around macroeconomic uncertainties.
- Price Targets:
- Next Week Targets (T1, T2): 21,975, 22,350
- Stop Levels (S1, S2): 21,250, 20,850
- Recent Performance: The NASDAQ has outperformed major indices, gaining 7.15%
last week and posting year-to-date surges largely driven by technology
stocks. The index remains above all moving averages and saw a 17% drop in
the VXN, reflecting reduced market fear. Small caps, however, remain under
pressure from higher borrowing costs and tighter monetary policy.
- Expert Analysis: Analysts highlight strong upside potential but warn of
overextended technical indicators, signaling a pullback could occur before
further gains. Investors should monitor geopolitical developments, interest
rate forecasts, and sector vulnerabilities, especially in technology and
small caps. The NASDAQ seems poised to test 22,275 in the short term, though
bearish divergences may limit gains.
- News Impact: Moody's U.S. credit rating downgrade spurred after-hours
volatility, which could continue to impact sentiment, mirroring reactions to
Fitch’s earlier downgrade. Conversely, U.S.-China trade truce agreements
have uplifted markets, benefiting tech and global equities, and reinforcing
bullish trends. Positive crypto sentiment has also aided NASDAQ’s advance.
Bright prospects should buoy the index next week as optimism continues in
high-growth sectors.
Nasdaq can test the key support againNasdaq had held steadily above the 200-day moving average, eliminating all losses imposed by the tariff situation. Even though the situation doesn’t look resolved right now, parameters of tech stocks are improving: breadth and strength are improving for the last month.
The tech sector has been outperforming other sectors with the recovery of NVDA, TSLA, AAPL and other shares of tech giants. However, despite the local growth of optimism in the markets, the current upside rally looks as a comeback from a shocking event of “Liberation day”, but doesn’t look as an euphoria or a FOMO-event yet.
Tech stocks lead the rally, and it’s possible to observe some rotation between Nasdaq and S&P 500 in the near future, with Nasdaq testing the 200-day moving average back again, as shown at the chart.
Don't forget - this is just the idea, always do your own research and never forget to manage your risk!

Nasdaq – Fair Value Gap (FVG) in Play: Breakout or Rejection?US100 is going up and reaching a critical inflection point, the Daily Fair Value Gap (FVG) between 21,500 and 21,700.
This FVG is not just any level; it’s the last inefficiency left by aggressive sellers, and the market is now deciding whether to reclaim or reject it.
Key Zones
- Daily FVG (Supply): 21,400 – 21,600
- Major Resistance: 22,400
Trade Scenarios
Bullish Continuation
A clean daily close above 21,600 confirms FVG reclamation.
Could trigger a momentum burst toward 22,250.
Ideal play: wait for consolidation above 21,700 or breakout-retest setup.
Bearish Rejection
Rejection from the FVG could lead to a retracement toward 20,300, where demand and a lower imbalance reside.
Look for rejection in the FVG zone.
Technical Takeaways
The FVG at 21,400–21,600 is acting as both a magnet and a battlefield expect volatility.
The impulsive move leading here lacks a clear retest, which may increase the probability of a short-term correction.
Momentum is strong, but traders should wait for confirmation not emotion.
Summary
The Nasdaq 100 is knocking on a daily FVG door and what happens next will set the tone for the coming weeks.
Above 21,600 = bull trend continuation
Rejection = short-term dip to 20,300 possible
What's your take, breakout or rejection?

NQ: Upcoming Weekly analysis!FA Analysis:
1- Not much to update in comparison to last week analysis.
- Trump deals have had the upper hand; Market took them as a relief and stocks and equities are crumbs away from the pre-tariffs values.
- FED has tied hands:
a) On one hand, FED knows very well the negative impacts of tariffs that both prices and employment are not hit yet by them.
b) On the other hand, economic data are still good which are sufficiently reasonable and rationale to cut rate.
c) Latest data on Consumer Sentiment came undershoot and Inflation Expectations came overshoot which really reflect the tariff impacts.
Hence, it will be very difficult for the FED to cut rates on June meeting.
2- Moody's Rating: Last Friday Moody cut United States ratings to AA1 from AAA
Market will open with a Gap down.
3- Next week is relatively calm in terms of macro-economic data. We might see other Trump's deals.
TA Analysis:
Weekly TF:
NQ Weekly candle provided a strong bullish candle.
Price closed and broke out the monthly Candle (green dashed line).
1- If the opening (gap down) is below the green dashed line, the weekly close should be revised down to the opening.
2- If the opening is above the green line, the weekly close is bullish.
Price should retest both the previous weekly high and low (blue lines) as a sign of Consolidation.
Daily TF:
The last three days show a clear exhaustion.
According to the ST/MT/LT Outlook (i.e., SELL), FED no rate cut in June and Moody's rating, market might start a sell-off.
That's all for this week. Wish you a green and wealthy week!
(Note: This analysis reflects my view and my bias that ST/MT/LT Outlook is Sell. Someone else may argue a complete opposite narrative and it could be a correct analysis. So do your own assessment and make your own decisions!)
NAS100...Ever The Bullish Instrument 36As you all know I am eternally bullish on the NAS100...
What this means is that I trade my Hl's to my HH's.
Whenever there is a a hard retracement like we had over the past month, that is the time I either do the following
1. Wait or it to be over
2. Trade smaller positions to a HL (since the monthly needed the HL)
3. Or just keep testing new retracement theories so that I an expand my overall strategy.
What we have seen is that since Monday April 7, we got a confirmation for the Monthly HL and sine then the market has been working itself back to another ATH.
It is just a matter of patience and understanding that the market will always go back and break every single high that has been created as it continues to be eternally bullish.
Understanding this concept ensures 100% success as long as proper risk management is followed and an understanding that any sells in the market are only temporary retracements towards the HL on a larger timeframe.
With that being said...
All elements of the Auberstrategy remain in tact and working efficiently...
Happy Trading
