Fingers didn't want to work today with typing my apologies
US100 trade ideas
NQ: Upcoming Weekly Analysis!FA Analysis:
1- We have two forces (Trump's team, policy and tweets and the FED) as market movers.
2- Trump's Team: Maintaining the UNCERTAINTY
- Minimum tariffs is 10% which is at least 500% of the original tariffs.
- Have a clear strategy: One screaming very high and the other one, the nice guy, offers 10-25% tariffs
- All the deals won't be binding deals; so they might change at any time. So uncertainty is still there.
- It's all about PR and looking good and winning
- Market understands very well what is happening. Market sees the 10% tariffs as a huge barrier.
=) So all what Trump is doing, including the final/big deals, are bad for stocks and equities.
3- The FED:
- Last FED did not provide any hint about June rate cut. FED is data related.
- Last macro-economic data did not help the FED Rate cut. Hence, the upcoming data is very relevant.
- This week, we have key inflation data: CPI and PPI. Higher Inflation data means NO June Cut which is very bad for stocks and equities. Inline and lower inflation data will help FED Cut which is good for stocks and equities.
=) From now on, Good macro-economic data is bad for stocks and equities and vice-versa.
TA Analysis:
Weekly TF:
- From weekly perspective, we got a bullish weekly candle than closed inside a bullish candle.
- Price seems exhausted and toppish. There is no need to go further up. But in any case, the chart shows two higher levels that price might reach in the case of bad economic data.
Daily TF:
- Friday candle was unable to close above the latest HH.
- Price always closed inside the consolidation area.
- Price will test the previous swing low (highlighted by a circle) in case Monday or US-China talks does not close above the latest HH.
=) From weekly and daily TF, NQ should go south.
Wish you a green week Everyone! GL!
(Note: I won't be around this week beside quick in and out; So I won't post most likely)

NQ: Prior to the FEDAs expected, NQ is consolidating.
Tomorrow is a big day in terms of looking forward. What should we expect from the FED?
1- FED Mandate is: Employment and Inflation
2- FED has always said: FED policy is data related.
The latest data on both Employment and Inflation were not sufficiently bad to rationalize the rate cuts and feed Trump's pressure.
Hence, I think the FED won't give any hint tomorrow about the rate cut on June. This will disappoint market and a Sell-off of stocks and equities will be massive. The start of Wave 3.
The other scenario will send stocks and equities up in a zigzag move: Down then up.
Gold as a lead indicator has resumed up its direction. This might be a sign of what is coming for equities.
Have a good evening/night!
My NQ Long Idea 5/5/2025Been a while but I haven't been posting ideas because I have been scalping and doing smaller time frame trades. I think we have NQ at a nice price level where we might see a bull run soon with the market sentiment slowly "thawing" on the idea of "risk-off" sentiment to "risk-on" sentiment and environment with more uncertainties clearing out of the market scenes.
We have US trying to negotiate deals with many countries including China which is very challenging and we can never know if it will be achieved or not. However, from an economic point of view we can agree that the US economy is in the Neutral-bullish. We have a very bullish price action in the past week or so. We also have healthy economic numbers but it is still unclear until Wednesday.
On Wednesday the FED will speak on this matter and give us some clarity on whether it is a Risk-on or Risk-off environment. Anything will happen but I can see the "Gap" getting filled on FED day due to the SPIKE that will be delivered to us.
Currently Edgefinder tool is giving us 8 for NQ with only the GDP and sPMI scores in the negative. However the net score is bullish and on the positive.
I think 1 of those two ideas will be played out sooner or later anything can happen but from a technical view I would like to see the price reaching the 50% FIB and then take off from there.
It is subjective though and everything in trading is subjective including what I do and say.
NAS100 and the analysis that has reached a conclusion and has noToday I was reviewing my previous analyses when I came across this chart on NAS100 and after months of waiting, it had come to fruition.
It's a bit late to publish now, but I will gradually increase the number of symbols and arrange the time so that the results are available to everyone on time!!
Good luck!

NAS100 Rejected at Key Supply Zone | Pullback in Play?The NASDAQ 100 (NAS100) just tapped into a strong supply zone around 20,000 – 20,100 and is showing signs of rejection. Price is currently at 20,007, down -0.45%, and struggling to hold above the demand turned resistance.
Chart Highlights:
Supply Zone: 20,000 – 20,100 (visible rejection area).
Key Support Levels:
19,852 – immediate structure level.
18,846 – breakout origin, potential demand zone.
17,673 – major volume and demand cluster (orange zone).
Bearish Bias:
If price loses 19,852, we could see a drop toward 18,846.
Failure there opens the path for a deeper correction to 17,673, where buyers are likely to step in.
Bullish Trigger:
A clean break and close above 20,100 would flip the script and suggest continuation of the bullish rally.
Volatility Warning:
Upcoming U.S. economic data could cause sharp moves (see calendar icon on chart). Be cautious and reactive.
Trade Setup: Watch for short opportunities below 19,852 with stops above supply and targets near the marked supports.
