NQ - Feb 20th FrameworkWednesday failed to expand through Tuesday range. Weekly range currently in a consolidation. Consolidation protocol active. I am neutral on price until a sweep on the external range. Once a sweep occurs, I will hunt the 15m cisd and target the opposing liquidity. This will confirm the weekly profile & the intraday profile. Need the alignment for a high probability trade. Anything internal is lower probability for my model. Price MUST take external liquidity. Consolidation Reversal weekly profile likely. Mon - Wed in a range, Thursday raids external range then reverses, Friday offers continuation to opposing liquidity.

Today analysis for Nasdaq, Oil, and GoldNasdaq The Nasdaq closed lower as Walmart’s earnings report raised concerns about slowing consumer demand. Today marks the weekly close, and since the weekly chart has not yet confirmed a buy signal, any downward movement in the MACD could increase the likelihood of further declines. On the daily chart, the 10-day moving average is acting as support, aligning with the upper boundary of the February range. The MACD remains in a buy signal, but market flows are mixed, suggesting that choppy price action with alternating bullish and bearish candles could persist. Until a strong breakout candle decisively clears previous highs, it is safer to treat the current market as range-bound. While the bullish bias remains, traders should monitor whether the daily MACD generates a sell signal, which could shift momentum in favor of sellers. On the 240-minute chart, the MACD is declining sharply, indicating that buying pressure is weak. However, since the signal line is still above the zero line, a rebound attempt could emerge between 21,800 and 21,900. If the gap between the MACD and the signal line continues to widen, traders should avoid chasing long positions, even if a short-term bounce occurs. Crude Oil Crude oil closed higher, finding support near the $71 level. A buy signal has appeared on the daily chart, though it is not yet confirmed. The MACD and signal line have formed a golden cross, but today’s daily close will likely determine whether the buy signal holds. If the buy signal remains valid, oil could be forming a double-bottom pattern, confirming a base before moving higher. However, given weekend geopolitical risks, holding positions over the weekend (overweekend exposure) should be approached with caution. On the 240-minute chart, the MACD has pulled back toward the signal line before resuming an upward move, forming a wave 3 buying pattern. Since further upside momentum is possible, traders should focus on buying dips rather than chasing breakouts. Gold Gold closed higher after breaking above its previous high. On the daily chart, the MACD and signal line are closely aligned, meaning that if gold prints a bearish candle and breaks below the 10-day moving average, a bearish crossover (death cross) is likely. Since the MACD and signal line are still at elevated levels above the zero line, any selloff is likely to be met with buying interest, keeping the market range-bound. However, if gold breaks below the lower boundary of the current range, a sharp sell-off could occur, making stop-loss management crucial for long positions. On the 240-minute chart, gold has briefly broken above a triple-top formation before pulling back, forming a whipsaw pattern. This suggests that a further drop is likely. If the MACD on the 240-minute chart crosses below the signal line, it could mark the start of a trend reversal, making this a key technical level to watch. Overall, gold remains in a range-bound environment, but selling at highs is currently more favorable. If buying at support, stop-loss management is essential. As we close out the weekly session, traders should focus on risk management and ensure safe trading strategies. Take the weekend to rest, recharge, and maintain a healthy balance between trading and personal life. Wishing you a successful trading day and a great weekend!

2025-02-20 - priceactiontds - daily update - nasdaqGood Evening and I hope you are well. comment: Interesting day ahead of us. Selling was strong but bulls retraced 70% of it already. If bears come around again and keep this a lower high below 22230, it would show some strength and we could expect another test of 22000. The daily chart looks much more bullish than bearish. Big tails below bars and all bars closing above their mid-point. We have also touched the bull trend line above the daily 20ema. If anything I have a long bias but due to Opex I tend to lean neutral for tomorrow. current market cycle: trading range key levels: 22000 - 22500 bull case: Another dip another bad follow-through. Bulls buy it all and they have all the arguments on their side. They bought where they had to and we now have a decent two-legged pull-back to the bull trend line. Market is free to melt higher but tomorrow is opex and I fare best when I lean neutral on those days and trade less. Invalidation is below 21900. bear case: Bears can generate enough selling pressure to go down hard but as soon as the momentum is gone, so are the bears and market just reverses. I doubt bears can keep this a lower high and continue inside the bear channel. If they do, a weekly close below 22k would be amazing for them. That is the only target I have for them for tomorrow because I can’t imagine this going below 21900. Above 22200 bears just have to cover and we could accelerate upwards. Invalidation is above 22230. short term: Neutral. No bigger opinion on who wins this tomorrow. Both have reasonable arguments and we are inside the big bull channel and now also inside a bear channel. I wait for strong momentum again. medium-long term - Update from 2024-02-16: Bulls are on their way of making a new ath again. So no bearish thoughts until market character changes dramatically again. I can see this going up to 23000 but not beyond. No bigger opinion on a medium-term outlook for this. trade of the day: Buying 22k. Was close enough to the bull trend line, daily 20ema and bears found no acceptance below it.

Break and Retest of Range on NASDAQ Indicates Direction on DailyNQ has had multiple big panic days where it trades unusually and fearfully. The open and close of these days become a target if NQ trades within the range formed by that day for a period of time. Often those levels are precisely tested before the next move. I will be looking for a precise retest of the December 18th open to indicate a move higher, likely through new highs on NQ. I expect that day will be a massive positive day.

Trading with the 20 & 100 Simple Moving Averages (SMA) The Simple Moving Average (SMA) is a powerful trend-following tool that helps traders identify buy and sell opportunities. In this chart, we use: SMA 20 (Purple Line) → This moving average represents the average price of the last 20 candles. Since it reacts quickly to price changes, it reflects short-term momentum and helps identify early trend shifts. SMA 100 (White Line) → The 100-period SMA smooths out price action over a longer timeframe, reducing noise and showing the overall market direction. Trading Strategy: The Golden & Death Cross ✅ BUY Signal: The SMA 20 crosses above the SMA 100 → This is called a Golden Cross, and it indicates that recent prices are rising faster than the long-term trend, suggesting a shift toward bullish momentum. Traders see this as a buying opportunity since short-term demand is increasing ❌SELL Signal: The SMA 20 crosses below the SMA 100 → This is called a Death Cross, and it shows that recent prices are dropping below the long-term trend, signaling a potential bearish market shift. This suggests that sellers are taking control, increasing the likelihood of a downtrend. By using moving averages, traders can filter out market noise and trade with confidence.

MY IDEAL MOVE FOR MNQ1!so MNQ recently broke the bearish daily gap that it had been struggling with for awhile which i expected to happen by the end of this month, and in turn it created a bullish daily imbalance. There are 2 moves that i am expecting right now, the first is for it to either stay in a range for the next 2 days and create a weekly gap, and after we fill the gap next week we push towards ATH's. And the second move is for it to fill the daily gap in these next two days and have a slow and weak approach towards ATH's or completely disrespect the daily and just range. SO MARKET RANGE FOR THE NEXT 2 DAYS IS IDEAL (for me)

2.19.25We had a buy idea here that was nice and traded about 80 points. Took another -$300 loss today unfortunately. Haven't been having the best mental / emotional framework since we have been taking some losses. I also just have alot going on personally and have been busy which has made it more difficult for me to have a solid plan for trading. I have been working on being consistent because I do see that everyday I am learning despite the losses. We are currently up about $900 on the 53K challenge, and it's been a struggle for me to achieve it mentally. I have done it 3 previous times, and It was when I was really relaxed when I was trading those challenges and I was very objective. I am realizing that I am forcing my trades to trade past 200-500 points, and its what has been causing me to struggle. MNQ + NQ are able to give 300 points even 1,000 points in a day. But we don't need to catch the entire move, we just need to be objective with our target and also mindful of the time needed for it to get there. As we can see on this trade I was targeting the Monthly highs, and yes, NQ can give us a crazy move like that but typically it only happens during heavy news. I will be going away on a trip this weekend and I believe it will do me some good to rest, take a couple of days off work and really enjoy myself with my partner. It is honestly what I need and looking forward to the most. I will come back next week refreshed and rested with a fresh set of eyes for me to share my insights with you all. We were rebilled for another month for our current 53k challenge so I have till March 15th to pass this before the next renewal. If we were to be nimble and keep it objectively and lets say only trade 2 days a week with really good setups. we would be looking at a target of 80 - 100 points with several contracts for weight on our trade. I need to build confidence on the trades that truly matter.

Today analysis for Nasdaq, Oil, and GoldNasdaq The Nasdaq closed higher within its range, finding support at the 5-day moving average. While the daily buy signal remains intact, the market showed some corrective movement following yesterday’s doji candle, with selling pressure continuing on the lower time frames. As the index approaches previous highs, profit-taking is occurring, leading to a temporary consolidation phase. Market flows remain mixed, which could make it difficult for the Nasdaq to break through resistance decisively. However, as long as the index continues to hold the 5-day MA, the potential for a continued rally remains. On the 240-minute chart, the sell signal remains active, and the market is consolidating within a range. Since the MACD and signal line remain above the zero line, further upside attempts are likely. For now, a range-trading strategy—buying near support and selling near resistance—remains the most effective approach. Crude Oil Crude oil closed higher, breaking above the $72 level. On the daily chart, the MACD has not yet confirmed a bullish crossover, making it too early to fully confirm an uptrend. Although oil has formed a double-bottom pattern, market flows remain mixed, and since the MACD and signal line are converging near the zero level, a strong breakout or breakdown could occur soon. Given that the weekly MACD remains in an uptrend, buying dips remains the preferred strategy. On the 240-minute chart, the MACD and signal line have both moved above the zero line, confirming strong buying momentum. If oil breaks above the neckline at $73, a strong bullish move could follow. However, if the market fails to hold above $73, it could settle into a range-bound structure. For now, buying on dips remains the most favorable strategy, but traders should be cautious, as today’s crude oil inventory report could introduce significant volatility. Gold Gold failed to break above its previous high, closing lower. The market remains in a range-bound structure, with the MACD initially turning upward but now shifting back toward the signal line. If the MACD forms a bearish crossover, gold is likely to remain in a consolidation phase, and the next key question will be whether gold finds support at the 20-day moving average or moves even lower to test previous breakout levels. On the 240-minute chart, the MACD is pulling back toward the signal line, showing signs of weakening momentum. Additionally, the market appears to be forming a triple-top (head-and-shoulders) pattern, meaning that if the neckline breaks, a further decline could follow. Given these conditions, the best approach is to trade within the current range, favoring selling near highs while only considering long positions at key support levels. Stay disciplined, manage risk carefully, and have a successful trading day! 🚀 If you like my analysis, please follow me and give it a boost! For additional strategies for today, check out my profile.
