NQ Short (10-27-25, Week 5) لـ CME_MINI:NQ1! بواسطة MAZing

NAZ with O/N Gap open to lock in the Long chase and clean out the short stops. Regarding Friday short, I always go flat into the close. The O/N continues be used to lift it with ease. This may be blow off top day into balance of Friday - Monday Long Play. Netflix had the -10% move and has not recovered, NAZ is using the off session to Rig it up. Drop may not be until Tuesday, yellow arrow is range for retest should upper stall out. Current gap fill likely either way. Pump/Dump into Open, Gap up in O/N and expect some Tweets. When this stalls, look short. AP on Friday, voided by Gap.

ملاحظة

The Friday O/N session, primarily the majority of the move was the (circle) 200 point 1 minute move. This was then followed up with a flat reg session Friday. Next we have a Gap Up 270 point open O/N session on Sunday. Basically 1 way at record speed, 1 minute move and a Gap (no time) move. 770 is level to watch near Open of Reg Session.

ملاحظة

Drop offset in play for any trade talks or Fed Day problems. Netflix is only up 1% and still lower 9% since the drop. All Gap an O/N looking for Reg Session reaction with some balance or selling volume. IDS27, NAZ will not go below either MA and keeps bouncing off. Upside down indicators that usually lead to a major drop. While NAZ is clearly approaching the upper 7 Week Target, I just do not like in which the way this has lifted up. Off Session and low volume.

ملاحظة

Since bounce off KL 24,900 the 30M candles are stacking perfectly (except for circle). Look for stacking to slow or stop when shorting set up, pull back, drop tests and sideways. All this with lower volume and major (short time moves).

ملاحظة

Slight divergence developing on IDS75. May not be until Tuesday should Monday lift play out from F-M Long Play. Reg Session reaction is key today.

ملاحظة

850 drop test Short to 770. 1st attempt with 50 point stop. Scalp any hold on drop and let stops play out.

ملاحظة

850 - 900 TZ

ملاحظة

Buying on red valleys should flip to selling on white peaks. Again, huge move in record speed and lower volume.

ملاحظة

Just a weak or strange breakout of the Churn Zone of past 4 weeks. May be wrong and this is the new price action of a Bull, mentioned that it just seemed off last week. That could be it, sticking with the idea that normal historical cause/effect to resurface. If this continues, Hedge Funds will close their doors, trading firms will move to BTD/FOMO shops and indexing with Vanguard will be the strategy.

ملاحظة

Drop test target here. Just watch the 30M Candles for the turn.

ملاحظة

850 showing resistance, gave 50 point scalp and back up.

ملاحظة

Scalping Short from 850 with 770 and under break, Netflix is flat.

ملاحظة

May see sideways all day just like Friday, until the O/N. Why not, it works.

ملاحظة

Lower 30M candles, may see Diablo develop. FYI, if you are or were Long you did well pay 2-3 days. If you are trading, you have had not much to play with as the moves have happened in basically a few minutes. We need to see the NAZ explode up or this is coming back.

ملاحظة

Hammer Short under 850, again same stop.

ملاحظة

Needs to get under 800 1st then 775 and maybe it goes.

ملاحظة

885 has to reject or going up. Head fake or pop here.

ملاحظة

Stacking is back, looking for 790 retest and reaction.

ملاحظة

AP below needs to break lower.

ملاحظة

Stop at 950 and adding at 885 Short

ملاحظة

NAZ should fall into 100 lower sideways range or Blast UPWARD here at 25890.

ملاحظة

IDS75 Divergence, letting it ride, points to play with.

ملاحظة

NAZ appears to be in Slow Motion gear and moving like an inchworm higher, almost invisible. This looks like Holiday PA and not sure if it can even fit the Bullish/strong description. 950 is TZ, Original was 900. Drop test has to show up or traders may surrender and come back tomorrow. Even if you go Long, it is not going anywhere.

ملاحظة

PA so slow that if you want to trade this you have to go to a 10 Bar on the chart. If you are trading a minute chart, go to 1-3 minute range. IDS10 is below.

ملاحظة

Update of 9/29 Review Post, Click to view.

ملاحظة

We have some seriously low volume so for through the day. Still looking at IDS75 Divergence and may add to the Short or close and reload after the next O/N session.

ملاحظة

Target on Drop Test and move be biggest move of day. If Hit, look for reaction back up quick or weak bounce.

ملاحظة

Biggest move of Reg Session (above call). For those that were following me a few years ago, the NO Strength NAZ is back. NS NAZ is very hard to trade since it moves like a sloth, but will get higher. When the Sloth stops you can barley see it and then it drops like a rock. What I am looking for here (scalp) prior to going in the Pump/Dump O/N.

ملاحظة

YTD NDX, 2 specks are Friday and today. Not 1 but 2 gaps to fill and usually will happen.

ملاحظة

So the volume today will be the lowest day of past 20. When a true Bull is running it usually will have high volume in the Reg Session. Something is off or in the works as this continues to play out. Sticking with the Short side as this plays out. Stopped at 950, will add in O/N if opportunity.

ملاحظة

10/28 Update, NAZ hit ML of Channel, not expecting much today during Reg Session. Range day of sideways slow PA. NAZ is at upper range of Posted arrow/top. You can try Short here but may need to wait until tomorrow or Thursday. Volume continues to have reduced and direction is Long (with very slow movement). Hard for me to trade, I may just wait and drop 20 contracts on a capitulation type short (after this busywork noise).

ملاحظة

NAZ has moved 1,100 points in 2 days (Thursday O/N through current), big move with some Tricks and low volume. I may be off with the Short Trade or early. I noticed the hair was raised up on my dog's back when he looked at the chart.
Not sure what to do with that (joke). This Long move needs some BEEF (where is the BEEF).

ملاحظة

26080 is 100 point short scalp.

ملاحظة

26080 is stop, should drop or pop.

ملاحظة

26030 -26080 is TZ for break out

ملاحظة

Reg Session PA is key today.

ملاحظة

At some point, 25k should be retested.

ملاحظة

062 and under is 2nd push lower and above is 80-90

ملاحظة

Weakness.

ملاحظة

My Dog is now foaming at the mouth, What?

ملاحظة

Up in O/N (Gaps included) and lower is Reg Session. What I am looking at. May try lift in Dead Zone.

ملاحظة

26016 is lower MA and below is a must.

ملاحظة

16-45 is range here.

ملاحظة

Need to see high Neg Ticks under 45 or this will float back up.

ملاحظة

45 looks like pop or hook short

ملاحظة

Lower stop and watch the Ticks for 16 2nd hit.

ملاحظة

Normally the move back up (if strong) would have some force behind it. No force is usually a clean out fake move back to low (16 or 08).

ملاحظة

Going to walk the Dog, back to snail PA that shows nothing.

ملاحظة

Bearish under ML O/R, head fakes and clean outs above until it breaks higher.

ملاحظة

PA movements

ملاحظة

Feels like Holiday Price Action and I think the pop up was the Santa Clause Rally that come early. Strange days my friends. One Tweet or Swan may be all it needs to turn this. Would think differently if lift was not done in the way it moved up.

ملاحظة

Watch the Diablo and rotation around it.

ملاحظة

Watch these levels and reactions near, the Danger Zone defense will show up with lower moves.

ملاحظة

Break Pumping will continue, question is why? LET IT FLOW. NAZ wants to break lower, my Dog told me. Thing is may not see that with this low volume, that needs to pick up and may not until Fed Day.

ملاحظة

Back later, would you go Long here? Think about that. And why is this struggling to get higher?

ملاحظة

Stall out should be followed up with another drop test. This could go as high as 094. Actually good signs today with Reg Session PA. Hit at 08-16 created this move and was your exit on Hold. You could of gone Long back up in range (I did not).

ملاحظة

Dead Zone lift that I mentioned earlier, needs to get above or stay sideways until the O/N. Anything less will drop (or should).

ملاحظة

Trying above and will need to stay above O/R high (094). Again, in Dead Zone and after O/R Drop, needs to stay up and this is normal and may set up better short.

ملاحظة

Watch head fake AP lower indicator

ملاحظة

NDX is starting to look like Swiss cheese.

ملاحظة

This is what you are fighting, 30 minute 100 point pop (in dead zone). Most moves up are happening during the low or off session periods. Look for turn in pattern.

ملاحظة

Shorting back to 062, Low Volume again. 50 point stop

ملاحظة

Adding at 180. Stop 210.

ملاحظة

Adding at 200 and stop at 250

ملاحظة

Stop or blow off Top drop.

ملاحظة

Adding at 207 and stop at 300

ملاحظة

27,000 or drop

ملاحظة

NAZ continues to lift on negative Ticks. Big move on the way.

ملاحظة

Adding at 205

ملاحظة

My Dog is HOWLING at me.

ملاحظة

Stop at 350 and will hold.

ملاحظة

These are failed auctions and usually get retested or collapse.

ملاحظة

160 is target here.

ملاحظة

All this and still under 400k on NQ volume.

ملاحظة

Should try 160 and may bounce so Close stops or let it ride.

ملاحظة

My Dog just attacked some BTD/FOMO's, 160 Hit

ملاحظة

Out on Shorts watch the final 2 minutes of the day.

ملاحظة

FA Short, the start of the break down. O/N to rig it back up some.

ملاحظة

Most of this move was by way of the off session. Not what you want to see and usually will get a retest. Just go back to the 19 day up move that was erased in 2 days. Drop Tests build on weak lifts.

ملاحظة

10/29 Update, NAZ with O/N 1way up Rig Team hit the Upper Target, this is the 7 week target and now Turn Zone.

ملاحظة

SDS27 view

ملاحظة

OK, here we are again. The white arrow is the heavy volume day and yellow are the low volume sessions. You can see the narrow PA in yellow days and the development of Divergence below. Normally this will lead to a drop test or drop. It will happen just not sure when. This chart along with the Swiss cheese NDX chart is saying "retest lower". Good luck today, I do not usually trade on Fed Day. Will update if I do.

ملاحظة

While I have the Bear mindset, you can use the KL's as targets for Longs, opposite direction moves and such. It is my opinion that we will see a major Flash Crash type move (sucker punch) at some point. The concern is with the Long Side and the heavy concentration of 5-6 stocks, brainwashing of AI, only buying, etc. The balance will show up at some point.

ملاحظة

Under O/N we have some FA's at 26,000. 300 point range is normal should we see some lower retesting today.

ملاحظة

Hook Short or Pop under 290

ملاحظة

Under 290 Short and above 290 Long.

ملاحظة

Long play may have limited move up.

ملاحظة

Watch the V drop to yellow arrow pop or drop at MA. This is providing 290 rejects again.

ملاحظة

Just watch 290 and the rotation around, sideways to Fed Decision or major drop is the idea.

ملاحظة

NDX Chart, ugly since was done on low volume and such.

ملاحظة

This is the Before Fed Decision chart and I will post the After

ملاحظة

If you are trading this, KL and plays until "All Hell breaks Lose".

ملاحظة

Here is the V Trade, need to see reaction here. Lower is one option and the other is BTD/FOMO with the crowd.

ملاحظة

290 is the key here. Up/Down is normal dropping PA until it breaks fast and deep.

ملاحظة

High volume so far as we look for it to explode today. Still leaning to the Short side.

ملاحظة

NAZ drop will appears to struggle to get lower with push/pull PA. Stall outs up will drop back, so on and so on until the bottom falls out. The idea that this 2,100 / 9% pop from recent low happened off session (primarily), may open the easy 50% drop retracement.

ملاحظة

Once again the O/N lift cushion is the only reason we are not much lower. The day this changes direction, lower we go and big.

ملاحظة

Minutes until Decision, Equities are positioned to absorb a drop. The idea of a blast off move up here may be the knee jerk head fake. Buyers will need sellers in order to go much higher. We have had little to no selling over the past 2,100 points.

ملاحظة

KL 290 keeps rejecting.

ملاحظة

254 is new KL to watch.

ملاحظة

Kook Short at 254 or between KL's.

ملاحظة

2 hits and need to break lower

ملاحظة

3rd hit and tying hard.

ملاحظة

Funny, still above O/N lift. Only other event would be some Bad Tech Earnings reports. We are priced at perfection and that may be the only way this really does a drop test. Those are after the Close and we know how those usually go. Staying with Short side as larger move (next few days).

ملاحظة

4th and here we go.

ملاحظة

Through and in the Gap.

ملاحظة

There it is

ملاحظة

26,000 Watch it.

ملاحظة

NQ bid/ask spread are insane 10 points or so

ملاحظة

Lines are Fib Levels, long way to go. TZ was accurate and will provide a trading range.

ملاحظة

Magic, NAZ is back to FLAT. This is the P/P that I mentioned.

ملاحظة

Heading South again, The whole thing is rigged.

ملاحظة

Back to and under TZ

ملاحظة

After hours, Big Tech losses, may explain the lift prior.

ملاحظة

191 is KL to watch, back tomorrow.

ملاحظة

Tricky day, we need to see a 1 way drop to drop test these levels. Snail moves up are fading.

ملاحظة

10/30 update, Push/Pull is active and the O/N volume is high. This should follow through in the Reg Session. KL 26,290 and KL 26,191 are levels to watch. Netflix dropped 10% and has not come back. Now Meta -7% and Microsoft -3% have joined the decline. That is about half of Mag7 leaving Invidia the one to watch. Yesterday we saw KL 290 drop and 400. Look for more downside movement (after pop stall outs) to show up.

ملاحظة

IDS35

ملاحظة

Notice the quick drops on high volume.

ملاحظة

ML Channel rejection at TZ

ملاحظة

Range today

ملاحظة

Tone is shifting and watch the 26,000 reaction. NAZ will continue to struggle to get lower and then break for a decent drop test.

ملاحظة

Continue to play KL Trades (Opposite, To and From) until Break Out. Quick Drops (Hooks) will show up after Snail lifts.

ملاحظة

Tweets, Tricks and typical games may not be able to control the Reg Session volume today. Fed has started to show its view with future cuts (doubt), this will be bad for Long Only managers should we get under near Danger Zone 26,000 and then stay under. This all may be redirected up with good after hour reports and if not, way lower we go. Timing these (I am usually early) is difficult and the O/N is The BOSS and can redirect a drop in today's Reg Session or accelerate it tonight. Can't post all trades when the PA gets going so use KL's and use stops.

ملاحظة

Next move an in ML of range

ملاحظة

Range

ملاحظة

KL Opposite Direction to Danger Zone (26,000), Watch the U Turn or NOT. Notice all the direction changes since yesterday, sign of a problem for Longs. May be Pro's exiting, we have seen this before and it just U Turns. Stay with KL Trades.

ملاحظة

Danger Zone hit and we will see up/down inside DZ and KL 191.

ملاحظة

Just expect P/P to pick up and expect Super Quick Drops on stall outs.

ملاحظة

This is where the struggle to get lower comes in and just makes you go insane, part of the deal. Good Luck too fast to post.

ملاحظة

Spike up was a try to get through KL191, Opposite direction at 191 with stop at 192 was the trade. Target is 505 back down or DZ.

ملاحظة

50%, not 505

ملاحظة

Spikes are Longs gasping for air.

ملاحظة

Before they drowned or the US Coast Guard picks them up, wait are they working??

ملاحظة

DZ keeps getting retested

ملاحظة

Pop or Hook short at 26000

ملاحظة

No pop is hook and Pop is no short

ملاحظة

Has to pass 50 or retesting 26K

ملاحظة

DZ is being defended by the LONGS.

ملاحظة

50-150 is range here.

ملاحظة

NDX, 1 gap filled and 2 more below. Next week or so.

ملاحظة

NAZ back to O/N low and under will drop and above may float up.

ملاحظة

Looking like sideways to the O/N for the F-M Long Play. Break out of range is signal.

ملاحظة

Caution on the Long play here, This can Head Fake with a Hook and Air Pocket. Or, it can go up. Need to watch the Price and Lower indicator.

ملاحظة

Captain HOOK

ملاحظة

Back near Close. The game is that most anybody can play the BTD Long Play and very few can play the Sell The Rig Short Game. This traps the FOMO's and they have zero defense, other than to sell. The P/P is used to test the waters and no (significant) drop will float back up for next attempt.

ملاحظة

Arrows are levels to watch and NAZ will need to get above all or lower we go. Up/Down is noise until it stays above these.

ملاحظة

So the up move is a range move and a lower move is the Break Out. We may see a Pop Drop so hang tight. Doubt the Drop Pop 1st and other is just a Drop. Volume is above recent average and can pop higher over next 2 hours. After hour reports are the hold up here. If they are not perfect, get ready.

ملاحظة

Back under DZ, just Google and Apple to go under and this will get going. So much is riding on AI and the Mag7. Not good to put all eggs in 1 basket, unless you can fix the outcome. The O/N will really have a test tonight.

ملاحظة

26k-795 Range Now.

ملاحظة

Above 25910 may pop

ملاحظة

25910 is KL down here to 26k

ملاحظة

They are using failed auctions on the selling side to drop it. These usually do get filled on reverse move. O/N may knee jerk back up.

ملاحظة

There you go. 26k hit

ملاحظة

10/31 Update, O/N with the lift. 25,910 pop call did POP and is rotating around KL 191. Looking for the range (arrow) and to see if the typical predictable Friday-Monday Long Play does its thing, why stop now. Look both ways today as the Gov't Shutdown may be the curveball and next issue for a sell off.

ملاحظة

May see O/N Pump/Dump open drop to KL 26,062 that creates a Drop/Pop in the Reg Session Dead Zone with lift to KL 290 and then 400 range. No hold at KL 062 would be a Strong Short for 25,900 retest.

ملاحظة

NAZ could get rejected hard at Upper 7 Week Top Target, watch for this reaction. Break out of Churn Zone is the test up here as we revisit (by way of O/N lift, keep this in mind). We are in a potential BTD/FOMO trap that could provide an exit opportunity for sellers. Volume is picking up as selling has picked up.

ملاحظة

KL 191 here may see Hook Short or POP, NTZ around 191

ملاحظة

Hook Test

ملاحظة

167 is KL support here, under may drop to lower KL

ملاحظة

Pump/Dump to KL 062 hit and F-M Long Play above 062.

ملاحظة

KL to KL trading.

ملاحظة

Retest for the bigger move.

ملاحظة

Force on the downside has increased.

ملاحظة

Diablo and today feels like a Quick Drop is developing.

ملاحظة

Just notice that the O/N provided a 140 point cushion at 26062. The NAZ can drop another 140 points and be FLAT. Below it can go 200-300 and that would be a major range for the day but only show a drop of the 200 or so.

ملاحظة

Hook Short or pop time.

ملاحظة

Hooked

ملاحظة

Looks like the O/N is the only upward moves in PA. Past 3 Reg Sessions have been selling. The long standing O/N Rig Lift play may be under pressure as it has been working for about 3 years.

ملاحظة

25910 KL from yesterday bounced again, KL to watch.

ملاحظة

020-040 May reject and send it back to 910

ملاحظة

Watch the Ticks at 020

ملاحظة

May spike up and drop

ملاحظة

AP and slight rejection at 020

ملاحظة

Not a typical F-M Long Play Friday, O/N will have to Rescue. That trade may be fading.

ملاحظة

NAZ still under Diablo, a break above will pop and below will drop.

ملاحظة

Tricky setting up a nasty hook should it drop.

ملاحظة

FYI, NAZ will turn after multiple hits and rejections at a KL. Big spikes can be head fakes and traps.

ملاحظة

400 point range day, 50% Fib is KL 26,062.

ملاحظة

Needs to stay above the Diablo

ملاحظة

No drop by the close and the O/N will jack this up. I am not expecting that and looking for a major head fake. Feels like a drop offset for Sunday Open Gap lower. Needs to pass 140. Major FA's at 26,045, should retest.

ملاحظة

26120 going Short. Stop is 100 up.

ملاحظة

FA Zone and 1st target on drop.
