NAS100 Losing Strength? Bearish Reversal in Play!NAS100 is showing weakness to the upside, with signs of a short-term (possibly longer-term) bearish reversal. Similar to SPX, its typically bullish nature appears to be fading. How far could the drop go? No one knows for sure, but right now, the signs for strong long positions are limited.
Nasdaq 1MSmall incremental purchases and fluctuations indicate a phased entry of liquidity into the market and have created a variable or fixed support level in these stocks. A sharp decline in the short term and a return of the price to the resistance level can be expected from this analysis.

US100 Is Bullish! Long!
Here is our detailed technical review for US100.
Time Frame: 12h
Current Trend: Bullish
Sentiment: Oversold (based on 7-period RSI)
Forecast: Bullish
The market is trading around a solid horizontal structure 21,588.3.
The above observations make me that the market will inevitably achieve 22,205.6 level.
P.S
The term oversold refers to a condition where an asset has traded lower in price and has the potential for a price bounce.
Overbought refers to market scenarios where the instrument is traded considerably higher than its fair value. Overvaluation is caused by market sentiments when there is positive news.

Nasdaq needs a decent correction in order to gain strengthI'm not calling for a crash, but generally when markets keep pushing higher, it needs to cool off, the problem with bulls is that they have no restraint, bears are way more tactical and when bears make a move, it is fast, furious and a lot of complacent bulls get slaughtered....I expect nasdaq to reach their 0.618/0.5 retracement levels and if structure remains in tact, markets should push higher....If the correction had happened much earlier, there wouldn't be so much fear in the market....I don't expect serious buyers to step in unless nasdaq is available at more discount....You will see some short covering in between, but don't confuse that for serious buying.....There is no bottom wick in the daily candle, so basically, bulls didn't even make an attempt, also double top on daily, mini uptrend channel break, so try to focus on shorts on the way down...I could be wrong, but I don't think buyers will have much advantage unless it reaches lower levels.....
NAS100 - Can 1D Trend Hold?Dear Friends,
How I see it:
# Very strong 3 Day rejections at ATH = 22235.00
## Strong RED daily close on Friday
### Impressive 1D trend since 7th August 2024, still holding!
Potentially price can continue down looking for support -
1) 50% Fib retracement @ 21415.00
2) 1D Trend support @ 21200.00
3) Psychologic support @ 21000.00
4) Strong demand @ 20600.00 - 20470.00
Potential long - (I don't want to guess what it will do first)
1) Imbalance to fill up to 21870.00
Keynote:
If this 1D trend is breached and the break is confirmed -
Price can easily fall back down into the 17000 's region.
Thank you for taking the time to study my analysis.
Possible long ?I’m looking at going long on nasdaq
There are some economic factors to consider trump.has imposed new tariff threats softening consumer demand Tariffs would affect lumber and forest products previously imposing tariffs on imported cars semi conductors and pharmaceuticals.
Tesla has also dropped because of recalls on the cars do to electric power steering defects
However I’m curious as to what trump will say in the later days considering he uses tarrifs as a bargaining chip. We have seen the last time this has happened that Nasdaq was able to recover the following week
In addition the 1h and 1d chart looks like a cup and handles pattern and price has coincidentally dropped Friday to create the handle

US100: Weekly Bullish, Short-Term Bearish—Two Key ScenariosThe US100 (Nasdaq) remains bullish on the higher (Weekly/Daily) timeframes, but short-term (4H/2H) indicators suggest a correction or pullback. This creates a split bias: either the market finds support and resumes the uptrend, or it breaks key levels and continues lower.
• Support Zones:
• 21,580–21,400 (immediate short-term supports)
• 21,200–21,000 (major daily support, 100 SMA area)
• Weekly Support extends down to ~19,500–21,000 on deeper pullbacks
• Resistance Zones:
• 21,900–22,000 (key intraday resistance + pivot)
• 22,200–22,300 (recent peak & bearish order block)
Scenarios
• Scenario A (Bullish Continuation)
• Look for price to hold 21,580–21,400 support and reclaim ~21,700–21,800 on higher timeframes.
• Aggressive traders may front-run a bounce near 21,580 (tight stops below 21,530).
• Conservative traders might wait for a Daily close above ~21,900 with momentum (RSI >50, bullish MACD).
• Invalidation: A daily close below ~21,000 could trigger further downside.
• Scenario B (Bearish Reversal / Deeper Correction)
• If price fails at 21,700–21,900 or breaks below 21,580 decisively, watch for a move to 21,400 or even 21,000.
• Aggressive shorts may enter on a retest of 21,700–21,800 (broken support → resistance) or a clean break below 21,580.
• More conservative bears might wait for a Daily close under 21,000–21,200 and a confirmed downtrend on momentum indicators.
• Invalidation: A strong 4H close back above 21,900–22,000 would weaken the bearish case.

Sells for this week and buys by the end of this monthNasdaq providing us with some great opportunities over the next few weeks. very nice sale going into next week. I am hoping for an even further drop towards the end of the month then potentially a buying up on the last few days into early next month.
Could be promising.
NASDAQ - Short term downtrend.Bearish downtrend on the NASDAQ, targeting the Daily STL as nearest draw on liqudity. Expecting a retracement into the 4H BaG (Pink area) to then continue the current down-trend to sweep the liquidity at the daily STL.
As we can see, the recent bullish expansion to the upside actually took Monthly liquidity which then saw a sharp reversal which has taken out most of the bullish orderflow created in the expansion to the upside, where we created bullish FVGs moving into the HTF areas of interest. Trend turned bearish after the M high was taken, and we have created Bearish BaG on the 4H moving away from the area, as well as a potential Daily FVG being created after Mondays open.
The overall daily range for the year so far (2025) has been somewhat consolidatory, so im anticipating any move below the Daily STL we have as our target, to be a sweep and premium price action to then become our draw on liqudiity.
Happy trading!
$NAS100 IdeaIf the monthly close occurs as projected, we will confirm a double liquidity purge, signaling a bearish scenario. Additionally, buyer liquidity will have been absorbed, with the price closing within the range, further reinforcing the downside perspective for NAS100. However, we still have one more week to validate this bias. On the daily chart, we will wait for a market structure shift before considering short positions.
NSDQ100 drops on weaker than expected economic dataThe NSDQ (USTec) index pair price action sentiment appears bullish, supported by the longer-term prevailing uptrend. The recent intraday price action appears to be a corrective pullback after reaching the all-time high.
The key trading level is at 21290 level, the consolidation price range and also the previous resistance is now a newly formed support zone. A corrective pullback from the current levels and a bullish bounce back from the 21290 level could target the upside resistance at 21890 followed by the 22090 and 22260 levels over the longer timeframe.
Alternatively, a confirmed loss of the 21290 support and a daily close below that level would negate the bullish outlook opening the way for a further retracement and a retest of the 21045 support level followed by 21680.

Crucial to observe Price action on Monday and TuesdayDisclaimer: This is solely a personal opinion and not investment advice. Please conduct your own assessment before making any decisions.
The market performance last week aligned with prior expectations.
Price maintaining an upward trend from Monday to Thursday. On Friday, prices saw a noticeable pullback; however, the decline was limited and did not break the previous low, remaining above 21,436.
If bearish, next week, the price should break below 21,436 between Monday and Tuesday, with any rebound likely staying below 22,000. If the price successfully breaks below 21,436, short opportunities can be considered in the 21,700–21,950 range, with downside targets at 20,870, 20,648, and 20,549.
However, in my opinion, the probability of this scenario is relatively low at the moment. The market is still maintaining a bullish structure with higher highs and higher lows. It is likely that the price will find support around 21436.
If the price fails to break below 21,436 effectively on Monday or Tuesday and instead rebounds with solid support near this level, the market is more likely to maintain its upward trend. In this case, long opportunities could be considered on dips, with an upside target of 22,300–22,465. If the bulls gain control, there is a high probability that the price will retest 21,950 between Monday and Tuesday. However, if the price fails to retest 21,950 and remains above 21,700, it may indicate weak bullish momentum, suggesting a potential further decline.
Next week, it will be crucial to observe the market’s performance on Monday and Tuesday to further assess its direction.

NSDQ100 INTRADAY Bullish Flag breakout The NSDQ (USTec) index pair price action sentiment appears bullish, supported by the longer-term prevailing uptrend. The recent intraday price action appears to be a sideways consolidation after reaching the intraday all time high.
The key trading level is at the 21890 level, the consolidation price range and also the previous resistance is now a newly formed support zone.

Closing Auctions: How Order Imbalances Shape Market Prices█ The Final 15 Minutes: How Closing Auctions Determine Market Pricing
Every trading day ends with one of the most crucial events in financial markets — the closing auction. While many traders focus on intraday price movements, understanding the dynamics of closing auctions can provide valuable insights and profitable trading opportunities.
█ What Are Closing Auctions?
Closing auctions are special trading sessions held at the end of the day across major and minor exchanges worldwide. They determine the official closing price of securities based on Market-on-Close (MOC) and Limit-on-Close (LOC) orders submitted before the market officially closes.
These auctions are essential because institutions, index funds, and ETFs use the closing price for portfolio valuation, index tracking, and arbitrage strategies. In recent years, closing auction volumes have surged, now accounting for about 11% of total daily trading volume.
█ Why Have Closing Auctions Grown in Importance?
The increasing popularity of Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) is one major factor behind the growth of closing auctions. ETFs must ensure their prices align with the net asset value (NAV) of their holdings, and arbitrageurs use the closing auction to correct price imbalances.
Additionally, large institutional investors prefer closing auctions to execute substantial trades with minimal market impact. These factors have led to a rise in order imbalances — where buy and sell orders significantly diverge — during the closing session.
█ How Do Order Imbalances Affect Prices?
Studies have found that stocks with large order imbalances tend to experience price distortions in the last 15 minutes of trading. Stocks with high buy imbalances typically outperform those with high sell imbalances during this period. However, about 83% of this price impact reverses over the next three to five days, suggesting a short-term trading opportunity.
⚪ Example:
At 3:55 PM, the exchange releases imbalance data:
Buy Imbalance: +500,000 shares (demand is high)
Sell Imbalance: -200,000 shares (supply is lower)
Since there are more buy orders than sell orders, buyers are forced to increase their bid prices to get filled. As a result, the price moves up sharply, reflecting the strong demand.
This is exactly what we see in the chart—the buy-side midpoint jumps higher than the sell-side midpoint drops, confirming a buy-heavy imbalance in the closing auction.
█ A Profitable Trading Strategy Based on Order Imbalances
Based on historical data, traders can exploit these patterns using two different strategies:
⚪ Momentum Strategy (Short-Term): Buy stocks with the largest buy-side imbalances and short stocks with the largest sell-side imbalances 15 minutes before the market close. Close positions at the market close.
⚪ Reversal Strategy (Over Multiple Days): Do the opposite—short stocks with the highest buy imbalances and go long on stocks with the highest sell imbalances at the close, holding positions for about five days.
Backtests of this strategy show that the momentum approach can yield approximately 32 basis points per trade, translating to an annualized return of 80% when executed systematically. However, traders must account for transaction costs and slippage.
█ Real-World Example: NYSE Closing Auction Data for AAP (02/20/2025)
To better understand how closing auction imbalances impact price movements, let's analyze the NYSE imbalance data for AAP on February 20, 2025. The data provides three key insights:
Imbalance Trends: At 15:55 and 15:56, AAP had significant sell imbalances (-40,849 and -40,718, respectively). However, this shifted at 15:57, showing a smaller sell imbalance (-13,023), followed by a net buy imbalance at 15:58 (+11,403) and 15:59 (+6,764). The final imbalance before dissemination was -34,286.
Paired Quantity Increase: The paired quantity, representing executed trades, consistently increased from 258,135 at 15:55 to 311,382 by the final dissemination, indicating heightened auction activity as the market prepared to close.
Impact on Clearing Price: AAP's price began at $42.17 but surged to $44.66 by 15:58, aligning with buy imbalances. However, the price slightly retraced to $44.34 at final dissemination, reinforcing the tendency for short-term reversals after strong closing auction moves.
This example highlights how traders can monitor closing auction imbalance data to anticipate price behavior in the final minutes of trading. For a more interactive exploration, check out the NYSE’s Closing Auction Imbalance Analysis Tool.
█ What Does This Mean for Retail Traders?
Pay Attention to the Closing Session: Many traders overlook the last 15 minutes of the market, but this period offers crucial insights into order flows and institutional activity.
Watch for Order Imbalances: Exchanges like the NYSE release imbalance data at 3:45 PM, giving traders a window to react before the market close.
Avoid Chasing Closing Prices: Since price reversals are common, buying into a strong closing auction rally may lead to short-term losses.
Use Data & Tools to Your Advantage: Platforms like Polygon.io provide real-time and historical imbalance data, which can enhance trading decisions.
█ Key Takeaways
Closing auctions play a crucial role in determining end-of-day prices, affecting institutional strategies and index valuations.
Order imbalances in the last 15 minutes of trading can create short-term price distortions, often reversing in the following days.
Traders can capitalize on these imbalances using either a short-term momentum strategy or a multi-day reversal strategy.
Understanding and leveraging closing auction dynamics can provide a significant trading edge.
Closing auctions are more than just an end-of-day formality—they reveal important market sentiment and provide trading opportunities. Whether you are a day trader looking to capitalize on short-term price movements or a swing trader seeking to exploit reversals, understanding the role of order imbalances in closing auctions can give you an edge in the market. By incorporating these insights into your strategy, you can navigate the complexities of the market more effectively and make more informed trading decisions.
