NQ: 175th trading session - recapRather good session today, good pre-market prep. However, I was a bit too tired which is obviously not good. But I walso don't want to put too much caffeine into my body that can't be healthy.
Also, take every clue you get as indication on what might happen. I know that you want "the range to break/ the pullback to continue", but if it simply doesn't do those things then take that as negative consolidation.

Nasdaq (NQ1!) Weekly Chart Analysis – What’s Next? (Week 16)📌 Title:
NASDAQ – 18,000 Holding, But Downside Risk Remains
Review of Last week's outlook:
I said that buying between 18,600 and 18,700 on the 12-hour chart would be reasonable,
but if a 12-hour candle closed below 18,500, it would be a major warning signal.
That strategy was valid at least until Tuesday.
But then three more 12-hour candles formed,
and Tuesday's closing price was 18,938.
The market opened Wednesday with a gap down at 18,790.
Looking at the chart at that time,
price had dropped below the 200-day line on the 2-day chart,
and the 12-hour chart was also not looking good.
So the strategy of buying near 18,600 on the 12-hour chart was no longer valid.
I had mentioned that if a 12-hour candle closed below 18,500,
it could get very dangerous.
And on the 4-hour chart, I had suggested short-term scalping was possible in the low 18,000s.
As expected, there was one bounce from that level,
but the price continued to fall after that.
📋 Description:
Now, NASDAQ is currently hovering near 18,000.
Although volatility remains low, price action continues to drift lower with weak momentum on higher timeframes.
Key Technical Observations:
• 📉 Still inside the 5-day bullish Ichimoku cloud
• 📍 17,000 = Bottom of the Bi-weekly Kumo + 3D 200SMA
• 📍 16,500 = Previous swing low, potential double bottom area
• 📈 18,400 = Needs to be reclaimed by weekly close to consider range recovery
A clean break below 17,700 could open the path toward 17,000, and possibly lower.
For now, this is a watch-and-react zone not yet a clear buy or sell signal, but conditions are forming for the next move.
🔁 Bias: Neutral to Bearish
⏳ Strategy: Wait for confirmation at 17,700 or breakdown
2025-04-21 - priceactiontds - daily update - nasdaqGood Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: Very good trend by the bears but the close was bad for them. Giant tail below this daily bar and if they can not keep the market from retracing more than this 50%, we could reverse this to test 18200+ again. If we stay below 18000, I heavily favor the bears but for now I’m rather neutral and assess where we are before EU opens tomorrow.
current market cycle: bear trend continues for now
key levels: 16000 - 18500
bull case: Bulls need to break above the 50% retracement for today and can then continue higher to test the upper bear channel line around 18300. Any tariff news could get us there but todays news were bad at best. Bulls don’t have much until they reverse this day and claim 18170 again.
Invalidation is below 17700.
bear case: Bears got the breakout below and are on their way of retesting the lows but they have the problem, that we have not seen two consecutive decent trend days since 3 weeks ago when we sold from 20000. So what are the odds of another strong bear day tomorrow? Very low. Best for bears would be, if they kept the market below the 50% pb from today below 17940. This would leave a giant open gap and increase the odds of continuation down. Right now the bear channel down is very broad and I don’t think many bears will hold above 18000 and a decent bar above the 1h 20ema. If today was indeed the acceleration of this potential W5, we should see another strong trend day tomorrow and go for 17000.
Invalidation is above 18050ish.
short term: Bearish if we stay below 18000. Right now channel is broad and could go up to 18300. 1h 20ema should be latest resistance by the bears or we will likely test 18200 or 18300. If we continue down, next support is 17400, then my measured move target around 17250 and below is 17000.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-04-20: My most bearish target for 2025 was 17500ish, given in my year-end special. We had the clear W1 and W3 but now it’s messy.
trade of the day: Short from Globex open.
NQ: 174th trading session - recapMy psychology is definitely getting better, I'm excited and ready to face the markets. That's really all I need right now. Waiting for my setups, I'm patient, focused. But there's one really bad thing rn: I'm not obsessed, I need to become obsessed again. Yk, like dreaming about it n sh*t - that is so f*cking important you don't even know.
Excited for the week, it's the last week of the holidays, I can trade everyday. Hell yea.

MNQ Outlook 4-21-25Toying around with posting publicly welcome back folks.
MNQ still is yet to pick a direction following the big run on wednesday 2 weeks ago. long term I think path of least resistance is for price to continue to chase sellside liquidity. However that high that was put in on that wednesday may be cleared out first.
In any case my trade bias is always day by day and what is offered to me during my trading window.
Please note this is not investment advice.

🧭 Game Plan
Intraday Longs: Only valid above 18,500 with confirmation.
Short Bias: Look for breakdowns below 18,243 or failed retests near 18,500–18,600 to position short.
Watch for Monday Reaction: If we open weak or gap down, shorts could accelerate quickly.
#202516 - priceactiontds - weekly update - wti crude oilGood Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: Expanding triangles are my least favorite structure and we are in one. I have no bias here because both sides have reasonable arguments. Bulls just want this selling to become a bear trap and test up to the upper bear trend line around 69 and bears can see it as a bear flag that tested the 50% retracement of this bear leg.
current market cycle: trading range on the monthly chart - daily chart is a bear trend that could be transitioning into a trading range again
key levels: 55 - 69
bull case: Bulls see it as a failed acceleration down and want to retest the prior bear trend line around 68. Same target as last week but this week they closed the weekly bar above 64 which was my line in the sand. If they continue here, they will likely squeeze much higher again. 69 next target.
Invalidation is below 60.
bear case: I give the bears one more day to form a strong reversal but the odds are low. This breakout could go much higher and Friday looks like a give-up bar. Argument for the bears is that we are still at the 50% retracement and the breakout-retest of the March low 64. Any prices above 64.2 is invalidation for the bears. I will only view this as bearish again, if bears break the bull trend line from the 54.48 low and that’s currently around 61.
Invalidation is above 64.2.
short term: Neutral at 64. Above 64.2 bullish and only below 61 I think bears have taken control again.
medium-long term - Update from 2025-04-20: This does look like another bear trap below 60, which was to be expected. Depending on next week I will write some more here. For now It’s still a bear trend until bulls can reclaim 72.
#202516 - priceactiontds - weekly update - nasdaq
Good Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: Neutral and very similar to dax, as most of the time. I do think we will see one more leg down in this current bear trend before we could go sideways for longer, until earnings become the absolute fucking shitshow I expect them to become. We get daily news about big companies not exporting to China or to the US due to tariffs. No one believes this will go down smoothly. Bear trend line holding so far, 50% retracement for this bear trend was 19483 and the spike high last week was 19388 and bulls could not get above it this week. The daily 20ema is also right above us and every time market touched it, we sold and closed below. Triangle will likely break on Tuesday and I am having wet dreams about going below 17000 again.
current market cycle: bear trend but above 19388 it ends and we will be in a giant trading range
key levels: 15500 - 19500
bull case: Bulls want this trend to end and crush the hopes for a third leg down. That has not changed. Their only target is 19388 and if they get it, market is completely neutral and they will likely go for 20000 again. Bulls still have the triangle argument but below 18100 that is gone as well. At this point I think only very positive news could save the bulls. Market is likely waiting for big earnings next week and if Tesla surprises downwards, we will hopefully crash this m* again.
Invalidation is below 18000.
bear case: Last week my assumption was that the tariff exemptions were enough to pump this above the bull spike from the previous week but that failed and we went lower since. If even that can not lift the market to higher highs, what will? Only a big agreement with the EU and/or China. How likely is that? This US government doesn’t even know how to articulate their goals in negotiations, how do you think you could guess it? Market is in maximum limbo and since we are still somewhat high enough, we could see more risk-off trading. Until bears can get below 18000, we likely continue sideways. 3 big resistances held and the bear trend line is intact. Bears are heavily favored to continue down and I expect a third leg. Can the third leg get much below 16400? I don’t know but I doubt it. Only a deep recession would get us there and for that we would need earnings going real bad. Below 18000 I expect 17200 to be the next big support but a retest of 16400/16500 could happen.
Invalidation is above 19388.
short term: Neutral. Sideways most likely until a clear breakout above or below. Below 18000 we could do 17500 or 17000 fast. Above 19388 market is free to test much higher again.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-04-20: My most bearish target for 2025 was 17500ish, given in my year-end special. We had the clear W1 and W3 but now it’s messy.
Only a big tariff agreement news can move the markets and that can go either way. You have no edge in guessing what will happen, so having huge swing positions right now does not make much sense. If earnings go bad, we will go much lower. What is the next big support to be hit? The lows of 2022 at 12565. Can we really get there? With a deep recession and some bigger failings, sure but for now it’s unrealistic to expect it.
