NQ Month End Forecast (03-20 / 03-31-23)

Month End 2 week forecast, switching over to new program in April, 23. NAZ in nearly 1 year range (white Box), POC (yellow dash), VA's (white dotted, H/L). The yellow dash lines (13500 & 11300) are extreme H/L targets. Solid yellow's are inside range KL's. Long above solid Yellow Box and Short below. I will provide limited intraday updates of shaded zones and KL's. Opposite direction trades form both, have been reliable. NAZ appears to be balance (inside white Box). Price is above POC (value) and at top of high VA (value area). Rejection above or pull back near POC may be next move. Fed Day this week and month/quarter end next week, so expect some movement as this may be the last push into the lower volume spring/summer months.

تعليق:

O/N hit 1st Shaded, Play others as targets. Will update pre open.

Great book I thought I would pass along: Reading Price Charts Bar By Bar, Al Brooks. Chapter 11 covers 1st Hour of Trading and is spot on. Another add that I will include in my subscription service is the use of daily Futures Options. Check out CME/QuikStrike at CME site. QuikStrike is vital for the use of analyzing Options Puts/Calls and expected daily values. Review over the next 2 weeks as I will include the use of these products with trading strategies.

تعليق:

O/N with a 200 point drop to test VA High of 2 week forecast. Chart below, 12540 is O/N low and 12574 is VA High.

تعليق:

Notice the 12630 & 12750, these are targets on way back up. Still have some below, may see 2 way movement by Open or in Open session. Short from 1st shaded zone hit (12750) to SZ 12540 was trade to take after 1st NAZ pop up after O/N Open. Now play between 12480 and 12680 SZ's (shaded zone). Updated SZ's below.

تعليق:

If you are trading, just watch SZ to SZ, Example: 574 VA High long to SZ 630, pass next SZ up (675), reject back to VA High, no hold then may try 480, hold at 480 then back to 574, pass at 574 then may try 675 or 725. This example may actually play out as typed, I would not doubt it (may be by EOD Monday regular session).

تعليق:

Updated, Long above 12570 (570 near hit or NAZ never approaches) should work for Scalp to 630-675. Your call just a quick look and may drop after that.

تعليق:

630 Hit, will try 670-75

تعليق:

Move up stop as 670 did noy get hit and look short on stall out. Back near Open.

تعليق:

تعليق:

12670 Hit and looking sideways to lower prior to Open. Move up stop and look for Short Scalp. Updated SZ's.

تعليق:

PB to 12610 is likely, hold on Long if you are flat.

تعليق:

Mentioned the 680 - 480, may hold as range. I am in and out this week so limited updates.

تعليق:

NAZ at 12670, PB to 630 likely.

تعليق:

630 Hit

تعليق:

640 retest and drop or pop.

تعليق:

Updated Zones

تعليق:

Range for break out.

تعليق:

640 break should go to 700 after retest and confirm. If not 565

تعليق:

650 test and may drop at no pass.

تعليق:

This or drop to 600 and bounce

تعليق:

Updated Zones, a Long into Close and O/N should retry O/N High, Your Call.

تعليق:

Boring day and the O/N high is once again the high of the day. Expect the Prop into Tuesday, could be wrong but just the pattern. Will update in morning.

تعليق:

NAZ moves 100 into O/N. 12640 -12740 SZ in O/N. They always sneak it in (low volume and such). Updated SZ's

تعليق:

NAZ riding the channel line, updated zones/targets, crude did a U Turn, may be a flat one prior to Fed Day.

تعليق:

Easy trade is the Long into close and O/N when NAZ has lower Regular session. I did not take, just noting for the 100th time. The chart below will show the 2022 Fed Prop Box (4 days), 1st 2023 Box (same days) and the 3rd is my projection. Box is pop and arrow is drop, I will be tilted to the Pop/drop play (just like other 2). Stack the boxes and those 8-12 days are the main lift for past several months, why would it change now? No Fed No Rally, Go Long and ride with the FOMO's, you can Short after.

تعليق:

Updated zones, 740 is now gone.

تعليق:

Yesterday was 680-480, today look at 680-50 - 850/900. Back after Open.

تعليق:

12720 PB likely.

تعليق:

Keep in mind that the NAZ may exceed O/N high but usually will not maintain. Usually will pass, drop and try again in Dead Zone.

تعليق:

Open Range

تعليق:

Got to 40 from upper Open target, PB Zones are 760, 720

تعليق:

Push Pull is showing up, look 2 way.

تعليق:

O/N High is key and NAZ back under, typical may/usually struggles and then will magically pop through. Back Later.

تعليق:

760 and 720 Hit, Divergence on this chart, may drop more.

تعليق:

Typical O/N Prop Job and Open Selloff. Not seeing big move lower, sideways unless the Ticks get bad, 1268 maybe on low target.

تعليق:

Hard day, all indexes seem to be rolling over? May pop, if not deeper test.

تعليق:

NAZ slightest lifts are getting sold.

تعليق:

12764, bottom 1st 30M retest.

تعليق:

Dead Zone trying for O/N High.

تعليق:

764 break will go to 730

تعليق:

764 to O/N high is range to watch.

تعليق:

Updated Zones, NAZ hit PB 720 and Dead Zone did try to lift back up. May float or selloff by EOD.

تعليق:

Looks like NAZ is staying in Open Range posted earlier. Doubt that it goes to 950

تعليق:

12950 is in view, the run up is one sided and many retests will follow. Updated Zones.

تعليق:

Updated Zones for PB's. many.

تعليق:

Updated Post, POC and VA's have not changed much at all. Need to see the support or volume support the price level. Price above value is not good unless value area moves up. Could be great Short should price continue to lift with support remaining lower or far behind. I trust nothing and today was a snail move in the DZ (my magical joke).

تعليق:

O/N Zone update, 12820 Zone Hit for Short from 12890. Notice new zone above at 12885 and 788 below. May be range.

تعليق:

updated Zones

تعليق:

Yellow arrow is Trend and Box is Bracket for breakout.

تعليق:

Long on 2nd hit of lower bracket to 840. Stop 10-20 under Lower bracket and Short at 840 on no pass. Scalp Trades.

تعليق:

840 Hit, move stop and NAZ may try for 870. No Short yet.

تعليق:

Next moves, back later.

تعليق:

IDS20,for those that plan to join the Trading Group, email me at [e-mail] / The chart below will provided and the following is what to look for or start to get familiar with: When the lower indicator is above Zero and the White bars (near arrow) are rising, you would trend Long. Reverse when lower below Zero and Red bars are falling. Use Shaded Zones as targets/reverse trades.

تعليق:

70% of the time the NAZ will move within a bracket prior to break out. IDS20 will help with identifying the range and show divergence that will send the NAZ back to top/bottom. The bracket Scalp points add up while the NAZ goes nowhere.

تعليق:

White arrow is most likely a Short set up for NAZ to try lower Zones. Need to watch sideways movement at 840 and red line staying below prior red line 12855. White is above white so Long until red line play out. 4am to 5am is inside prior move (red/white).

تعليق:

Turd developing above 12850 and may try for 870, stall and fall. These Scalps need to play out and waiting is key as the games are played.

تعليق:

Range of play for break out, prior to Open.

تعليق:

Yellow Dash = POC for the day, purpleish lines are VA's Top/bottom. O/N tested yesterday Top VA. May try again in Open or under POC. Current red line did move up but we have very little movement in range. The weak slow lift is misleading as we approach Fed Decision. Believe that sell the news is the play today.

تعليق:

870 rejected and back to mid range. Watch yellow arrow or red bar of previous and white bar drop. No drop stay Long, on drop go short. Looking for NAZ to break out of VA's and yellow Box.

تعليق:

FYI 12840 is Mid Range, not a good spot to start a trade. No Trade Zone or lower probability area. Trading near upper/lower range in opposite direction is preferred.
Long at 820 and short at 870 would of been trades. These levels had been mentioned prior to the moves that have played out. Keep this in mind as the NAZ bounces around the Box/Range (most likely) most of the morning or until Fed Explosion.

تعليق:

12870, Short to lower Box for a test. 820 or 800

تعليق:

Stop under 12850 on Short.

تعليق:

12940 upper hit, NAZ may drop from here, use stop at 950 on short if still on.

تعليق:

Updated Zones, PB to 12900 likely

تعليق:

NAZ under 940 should try 830, slow day. Scalping until explosion.

تعليق:

Updated Shaded, NAZ bounced off Top Box.

تعليق:

830 is target

تعليق:

870 to top is most likely a clean out. 950 was limit or stop.

تعليق:

Updated zones

تعليق:

910 retest

تعليق:

under 910 strong short.

تعليق:

Deep negative Ticks and NAZ is hanging. Rigged.

تعليق:

Huge Option Put order volume at 12500, may be low.

تعليق:

877 held, Closing Short at 895, -25. Will reload. Strange support here.

تعليق:

Price still way above value, nothing is changing except price is rising. Price usually heads back to value, value needs to lift for long play.

تعليق:

905-10 retested, wiggle move will clean out everything.

تعليق:

Last Update prior to release

تعليق:

This before (box and arrow are projections), the usual play is the Prop FOMO lift, then the 30 plus day drop.

تعليق:

12980 will go to 13200 is stays above

تعليق:

تعليق:

Not sure, other indexes are flatish

تعليق:

If you are trading, you may want to wait until after he talks. All he has to say is anything and the NAZ will jump 500 points. Good if you are Long, bad if short so wait.

تعليق:

updated zones

تعليق:

877 again, will hold most likely

تعليق:

Staying in Range of Zones.

تعليق:

FOMO Push see Ticks

تعليق:

Important Update, NAZ will up or lower here.

تعليق:

840 is target, same as my 1st trade, funny.

تعليق:

840 taken now up and may try High, not kidding.

تعليق:

More box to fill.

تعليق:

IDS20, when 840 zone was taken out the NAZ did not hit 13200. Turned at 980 and went to lower zones. The lower has to be up for Longs and lower for Shorts. Just follow the system. Was trading and could not type. New system will be live.

تعليق:

12000 next ?

تعليق:

Price is moving toward value, always look at this.

تعليق:

Updated Zones for O/N and tomorrow.

تعليق:

CL or Crude may be a Short.

تعليق:

We are at yesterday low. Look for rallies up, stalling and falling. That is how the drops have been playing out. Highly doubt that we see any big 1 way lower days.

تعليق:

Updated Zones, NAZ trying for 780 and after with no pass may try 705, will check back in morning with the weather forecast also.

تعليق:

SaneusiRsebuN with another great call in O/N, I encourage this so join in if you would like. Rule is you have to post Entry (prior to any significant run), Target and update your exit or reverse. More mind are better and I am ultimately try to find the service/person that will let me sit back and just press buttons, this may be you. Anyway, Shaded Zones are new and have been reliable. Updated are below, the NAZ tends to target the nearest one and if no hit will change direction. This was the result yesterday of my "Important Update" comment. I will update as day plays out.

تعليق:

Regarding the 2 week "weather forecast", the chart below is what we have seen from White Arrow to upper Box, rejection and now resting on a Key Level (KL). Yellow arrow is range through Friday close, IMO.

تعليق:

Like I stated after the close, we will see rallies/lifts up, stall and drops. This is how the NAZ will decline, get use to the O/N propping up after a big down day, these are the easiest trades and have been going on the entire Bear. This offset is used to stabilize the index and create great Shorts for the Open Range (1st 30M). IDS20 below, notice lower indicator is above zero and price did take out SZ 12780, passed 788. Just expect a retest below should any SZ's above not get hit.

تعليق:

IDS250, NAZ will try 12600 prior to next attempt higher. Back later, like I stated not in as much this week or next.

تعليق:

IDS20 lower is below zero, next set up for short, expect a wiggle and any drop that does not hit lower SZ will come back up. Short development needs to play out. Anyway, 12860-12700 may be range for Open and large part of the day.

تعليق:

12850 was Bottom of yesterday Open Range (1st 30M), watch Top, Mid, Bottom of that and any rejection will send NAZ lower.

تعليق:

Watch the Diablo (NAZ Killer), may rotate around some. I have seen it pass and then go back under pretty hard. Use as Long above/Short below for Scalps.

تعليق:

12930 is upper limit today, should NAZ get passed 850-60. Short set up is still in bracket and will go with rejection under 850-60.

تعليق:

Notice lower and SZ's, squeeze developing and NAZ will shoot out to top for break or strong rejection. Short set up is still in Bracket.

تعليق:

SZ 835 is gone, rejected NAZ, updates below.

تعليق:

Anyway, this has been a good example of how a Short develops. You can see the hit in 90's, pop up in Bracket and retest at lower Bracket. Still needs to get lower but the upper range of Bracket is the Short from and not the 1st hit lower. NAZ should blow out of the bottom and you should be in from 835.

تعليق:

Can somebody tell me why these indexes are up at all? Rigged Long Trap, the NAZ will be broken down by the EOW, Back Later. 12800 holding will produce a pop up, so place stop on short at entry of just above.

تعليق:

SZ's, purple lines are VA (value area) with yellow as POC, NAZ needs to leave range.

تعليق:

920 failure look short 830 PB 1st.

تعليق:

12900 is head fake long, top yesterday 1st 30M.

تعليق:

840 is next test.

تعليق:

تعليق:

920 hit, Zones for back under.

تعليق:

waiting on retracement to end, NAZ just playing in range.

تعليق:

Strong Short 13015, edge Trade 100 point stop 5 contracts

تعليق:

Stop at 315

تعليق:

Lower low and lower high is the play. Will reload if stopped.

تعليق:

Updated Zones

تعليق:

12900 next

تعليق:

Like I aid, the NAZ will go higher 1st, stall and drop. Typical offset Bear.

تعليق:

Should break as FOMO's and BTD's are all on board, may not until later. 13080 is in view on hold.

تعليق:

Range until close.

تعليق:

Deep negative Ticks should show up for drop test, 12900 hold is a Long back up. Stop at 330

تعليق:

13030 Stop.

تعليق:

980 Break is all that is needed.

تعليق:

On Edge Trade yellow line would be Add Shorts.

تعليق:

Stop at 015

تعليق:

Closing 5 at 12970, plus 45 x 5 225

تعليق:

Play range should come back up some. Back later.

تعليق:

957 may bounce.

تعليق:

957 did bounce and will try 13003. 957 was top 1st Hour.

تعليق:

Zone Update

تعليق:

Above 957 should try top, KL to watch. This is a No Trade Zone or Bracket, hard to predict.

تعليق:

Strange here at 12970, Ticks have been constant -300ish and O/N provided much of lift, just not feeling the strength. Lately that really does not matter as the lift just shows up. Careful will check back.

تعليق:

Range is playing out

تعليق:

Range and Long above 840 or should 840 hold. CL is selling off.

تعليق:

Diablo, back to and may hold. Mentioned the NAZ will do this.

تعليق:

Bounced off Diablo.

تعليق:

Strong Short was the hold, next time. NAZ is all over the place.

تعليق:

Even though NAZ was up (due to O/N prop) the stronger volume was to the downside today, in the Open Session and not fake O/N.

تعليق:

Zones for O/N, use as targets and entries.

تعليق:

NAZ tried for 12911 and did not hit, will try again or drop to lower zone.

تعليق:

NAZ with 2nd rejection at Box Top, 3rd tomorrow or South?

تعليق:

Crude looks similar, all cylinder's South?

تعليق:

Testing this new Zone Signal that I have been using past few weeks, pretty reliable. If you compare the proceeding chart to a current chart you will see that I delete a zone once it is hit. I the add a new one that has developed. The remaining are the next or current targets. Current chart with zones is below. Keep the Diablo in your view.

تعليق:

Current as 830 was hit, look at 12900 or 1230 next. Nobody knows which is next, one will most likely get hit and then to the other. Sounds crazy but watch it play out.

تعليق:

Zone Update, NAZ in 100 point range, Dax and Crude lower, looking lower for today. Notice how NAZ took out SZ 12890 and fell back. Set would of been Long to SZ 12890 and reverse on break failure with target at SZ 12730 (long term). Since SZ hit, I have added 2 new SZ's, but keep SZ's 12950/12730 in your plans.

تعليق:

Past 2 days have had the exact same Open Range's (1st 30M), balanced. The Box is your guide, Short below and Long above with Long try to pass 12300 (3rd attempt). Thinking 1 way South Drive today. But always plan for some strange move higher at some point as the rigging stabilizing games will show up to shake you out. SZ 12825 just got hit.

تعليق:

Bigger picture

تعليق:

NAZ out of box, 12734 is target

تعليق:

Starting to get some nit picker's past few days, F Off with your BS, D Bags.

تعليق:

Crude Update, $2 lower since last chart.

تعليق:

Updated zones, 12820 and under stay Short

تعليق:

To be clear, the Short should have come from Upper SZ that got hit. If you are entering now you would expect a pop/Long up to 820 for your entry. Your Short entry is late and you have to deal with Open Range wiggle, so a Long here is most likely the correct play and not a Short (12777 is KL from few days ago)

تعليق:

X marks the spot, TLX 849 would suggest Long above and short below. Notice how low is approaching/falling from 820. Got to move quick and I can't type and scalp, back after open.

تعليق:

12823 is lower VA and may be hard to pass. 847 is OR Open Range bottom, so Long has some obstacles if trying for 850-60. This is the Short entry set up that I was mentioning (long to 820 was idea, then reverse), Open is the variable that will shake you out so hold off or use wide stop.

تعليق:

12800 Long offset pop coming through, This is where they prop up to offset the big one later.

تعليق:

12800 20 point pop was the head fake that set up the 50 point drop to 12770. This is what you need to look for as the NAZ moves from zone to zone.

تعليق:

New Zone 750 is Long to 780. The yellow arrow is the original Short Idea at 5AM, the 3 Hit at 820 was the set up for the 750 or 730 SZ try (called earlier). No hit at 730 is a Long back up to 780 or 820. You have to be super quick and this is why I can't type and trade. Eventually this just get programmed in you head and yo see it.

تعليق:

Anyway, NAZ is struggling to get lower so expect a pop up prior to big drop and look for Push/Pull PA. Best indicator of a Short day. Big picture is that NAZ is still in range of yesterday, just busywork BS as we approach Open. Take profit on Shorts until jerky PA fades.

تعليق:

Thinking this for Open, lets see.

تعليق:

Set take profits at 50 points, long from 770 is last good entry, if you missed 750, 820 needs to break for up move. 1st major stal will see a drop test today.

تعليق:

770 Long should be flat.

تعليق:

Crude came up 1.5%, Algo's follow.

تعليق:

So far

تعليق:

730 -20 is KL

تعليق:

Watch TL

تعليق:

above 722, Dead Zone will Jack this back up.

تعليق:

Still nowhere new, play the range.

تعليق:

Key Point, Notice the bottom 12730 and reaction to what 12950, Watch, no hit coming back down.

تعليق:

12920 Short was only great Short. All others had to be scalped in order to work out. You can play under 12920 in either direction.

تعليق:

Set your Take Profit at 50 points, this has been the range per move. Back later.

تعليق:

1st HR in, still nowhere. This is being held up, be careful on the Long side. Like yesterday, I waited for retracement and went short. Scalp Longs until the drop comes. Play their game. 840 seems to a problem. May try Shorting from there with 50 point stop. So long to and short from. Your call I am gone for a bit.

تعليق:

Shorting from TLX, Working TLX's are reliable for turning points, NAZ gets above a Long may work.

تعليق:

Updated

تعليق:

TLX no pass

تعليق:

Zone 780 hit, next move should be it.

تعليق:

Crude was flat now -1.5%, -4 to 0 and back under.

تعليق:

تعليق:

I believe that 13000 retest is out, may see a drop today under TLX.

تعليق:

840 trades are working, strong short under 722

تعليق:

865 or 710, NAZ still in Open Range. Another drop may be here under 788

تعليق:

Not taking this Long at 12790, only well above TLX after retest.

تعليق:

Sideways slow roller prior to next move, could float up, typical Friday. Back Later, Flat until break out.

تم إغلاق الصفقة يدويًا:

Will close this post here and start new Monday. Done, can't trade the Snail floaters, just too easy and make me nervous, have fun as it may go all the way to the moon. Will Short and come back in should it actually, really, for once HAPPEN. Scalping is getting old, we need a solid break out in either direction. Yesterday looked like it, but the sold all off and then some.

تعليق:

Updated Zones, NAZ may try hard to break 840-50. No go heading South.

تعليق:

IDS20, rule of thumb is 3 or so hits at Bar, no pass, opposite direction trade.

تعليق:

Single Hit sessions are whipsaw and less reliable, back to prior 3 hit session level

تعليق:

Line up lower Peaks with Price, Current session could be head fake or break out, time of day is random.

تعليق:

2 hits, needs to pass or this is a Short.

تعليق:

Tricky, 790?

تعليق:

Red Bar dropped, suggests weakness. Needs to lift past other. If does not, will see a snap drop.

تعليق:

Sorry Yellow is POC, Red is above Red.

تعليق:

820 is box bottom and what to watch.

تعليق:

Pop up looks like a Turd, may come back

تعليق:

Turd Trick so far. Good as long it stays above 820.

تعليق:

POC dropped. May hit zone above and drop.

تعليق:

Waiting for lower indicator to drop

تعليق:

TLX is blocking

تعليق:

Waiting on Ticks

تعليق:

Should drop,, again random zone.

تعليق:

Turd

تعليق:

920 above 820, this is so typical and why I pass. Hard to believe, every Friday.

تعليق:

Great Log trap, but I highly doubt it. Mentioned 950 earlier, not far.

تعليق:

At Turd top, needs fall trough.

تعليق:

Strange day, NAZ still nowhere.

تعليق:

840 miss, 920 is next

تعليق:

Friday played out well, missed one at the end. Thing is, we get tired and by late week we are zapped. I think this why Friday afternoons are a great time to sneak in a move that favors the retail mindset and not institutional/trader. Review notes, called each move but had scrambled brain from all the scalps by the end. I think this is done by design (shake traders out). O/N high was 1st prop move (as world indexes, crude) were down big. Then lowest SZ to next highest major SZ with many direction changes (all day). NAZ closes where, O/N high. A MACD indicator may show the set up for a drop, if I am looking at correct. This could be the lift prior to and we may expect additional into Monday and possibly through. 13000 is in view for another test.

Updated Zone for Sunday/Monday

تعليق:

VA & POC, not much change. Price is still high above value.
