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!

Reversal Target: 18,800 USD1. Price Action
The price has been trending within an ascending channel.
It recently touched the upper boundary of this channel and entered a resistance/support zone (marked in red at the top).
The blue arrow suggests a projected breakdown from the channel.
2. Support & Target
The target zone is marked around 18,800 USD, with a label and flag indicating this as a key level.
This zone is also aligned with a previous consolidation area and possibly strong historical support.
3. Indicators
EMAs:
50 EMA (red line): 20,762.7
200 EMA (blue line): 19,861.5
The price is currently above both EMAs, typically bullish, but divergence from the channel and potential resistance may imply an upcoming correction.
RSI:
Currently at 65.03, nearing overbought territory (70).
The RSI shows a bearish divergence—price makes higher highs while RSI stays flat or dips slightly.
4. Implications
If the price breaks below the channel and 50 EMA, a move toward 200 EMA or the marked target zone (around 18,800 USD) is likely.
Traders may look for confirmation via a break of lower trendline support, a strong red candle, or declining volume before entering short.
