NQ January Range Short (12-30-24)Final week of 2024 with some closed sessions and low volume trading. Get ready for January potential moves/range. Looking for H/S to develop right shoulder in January. December has created a wide range (3rd to Aug & Sep), 20,990 is Key Level pass from Aug low with Sep retest move. Yellow's are KL's and Red's are TLX's. Use are targets and U Turns. NAZ is in Mid of Dec Range, look for NAZ to stay inside thick White TL's under TLX 20,758 and above go Long. Looking for January drop test. Notice 17,027 (2024 Open Level) the August reaction after a near hit. Also, looking for the breakdown with the O/N long lift Rig and Friday-Monday long move. We did have 1 near limit-down O/N session in 24 (-6.8%) and 1st decent drop in O/N since early 2020. The balancing of selling will need to show up prior to a serious leg higher.

Elliott Wave Analysis on MNQ: Anticipating Wave 3Hello, TradingView community! As I am exploring the Elliott Wave Theory with the Micro E-mini Nasdaq-100 Index Futures (MNQ), I've observed the potential start of a new impulse wave sequence after completing an ABC correction on Friday morning and starting new impulse wave 1 with corrective wave 2 in the afternoon. Based on this, I expect we may be entering the longest wave 3, aiming for a target of 22,800, supported by the 161.8% Fibonacci extension. This target for wave 3 I chose for its typical strength and reach. The 12/18 liquidity level is critical here; a breakthrough could indicate strong buy-side support, confirming the bullish trend. I used Fibonacci levels to manage potential pullbacks and determine profitable exits 1 and 2. Additionally, monitoring market structure shifts helps validate the continuation of the upward trend. I am eager to hear your thoughts or corrections on this analysis, as I am still grinding my skills in applying Elliott Wave principles effectively.

This setup highlights a neutral to slightly bullish bias in the short term but cautious due to overarching bearish signals on higher timeframes. Further confirmation is needed at key levels.

NQ Range (12/16/24)Changed the call to Range from Short (looking Short, still). I would buy into the long side if the gains did not primarily happen outside of the Reg Session. Seems light, rigged and soft. FOMO and chase during the no - low volume final weeks, probably my last weekly post of the year. This week: Long above 21,885 and Short below. Friday-Monday Rig Long has stalled and will resume on Monday with O/N Pump/Dump into the Open, that reaction is key for price action this week. AI, B Coin, Go Fed, Mag 7 are all leveraged and extended. Let us/me see some power in the Reg Session and I will get on board to the LONG side. Will not based off up moves in the Overnight that fizzle out in the Reg Session.

#202452 - priceactiontds - year end special nasdaq eminiGood Evening and I hope you are well. comment: If you have read part 1 of 2, much of the following will be the same. Nasdaq has now gained 80%+ since the 2022-10 lows. Again, if you think it’s more likely that we will do another 15%+ up next year because this time it’s different, I don’t have much for you and you can stop reading now. Now matter how you draw the bull trend since, it has had at least 3 clear big legs up where the last one was the shortest with the least pull-backs. The confirmation for it to end would be consecutive daily closes below 20800. For now bears have not had two consecutive weekly bear bars since September. The trend is overdone to say the least. As for dax and sp500, a 20% correction would bring us down to big previous support 2024-04 and 2024-08 at 17900. My first medium-term target would be the big bull trend line, which is overlapping a fair bit with the monthly 20ema. The trend line is around 19700-20000 and the monthly 20ema is currently at 18900. For the near term I expect the market to get it’s second leg down early in 2025 and potential targets are the 50% pb of the last bull leg and the previous ath from 2024-07 which would bring us to 20400-20650. current market cycle: Bull trend of the past two years has likely ended and new lows below 20900 will be the confirmation, at least to me. Technically only a break of the big bull trend line would confirm it (around 19700 currently) key levels for 2025: 17800 - 22500 (decent chance we will see 20000 only in the first couple of weeks and then only in a couple of months or years again) bull case: Bull trend is technically over once we break below the bull trend line which is currently 19600. Bulls are still very far above that and trading above the weekly 20ema. They remain in control for now but after such a long ongoing rally they are trading the momentum only because stonkz can only go up eh. I really don’t have much for the bulls here. We could do another try of 22000 and above and even print a new ath but the upside will probably be very limited. Don’t expect bullish outlooks from me over the next weeks. I will only scalp long on big support. The best outcome for bulls that I see is sideways above 20000. Anything below will accelerate to the downside. Invalidation is below 17400. Below that price, an event has happened or is happening. For now it’s unreasonable to ever think this market could see prices below 15000 again. bear case: In order, my first big target for the bears for 2025 is 19000, where I expect more sideways movement. Below 19000 comes 18000 which was previous support and the lowest I can see this for now is 17400. Bears would need stronger follow through below 21500 early in January and then make new lows below 20900. Then I see the odds of a measured move down to 19500-20000 as decent. On my weekly chart you can see my preferred path forward for the next months. 3 legs down where leg 1 was the drop from 22450 to 21000. I do think it’s much more likely to expect a break of the dashed bull trend line than another leg up. Invalidation is above 22600. short term: The year end rally was stopped short at 22110 and I don’t think bulls have enough strength to go above it Monday/Tuesday. We could see a spike up after new years but if we close 2024 below 21500, I expect the spike to be sold as well. If we don’t trade above 22000 by 2025-01-03, I see the odds that the top is in at 70%. My short term target for the bears is 21000 and lowest for now is 20700 for me. If 20700 is not bigger support, 20300 is my next target. medium-long term: As stated above, “If we don’t trade above 22000 by 2025-01-03, I see the odds that the top is in at 70%.”. In that case, my bear targets medium term are 19000 and long term lowest target as of now, is 17400. Anything above 22500 would surprise me. current swing trade: I will initiate longer term shorts depending on next weeks price action. Any short would need a stop with at least 22600.

NQ Weekly and Longer term Bias (We were fire last week, check)hey guys just my weekly chart and levels going into the week. everyone expecting a santa rally, not so positive... i could see it mooning from here, don't get me wrong. im much more bullish this week than last now that we got some sort of correction (check last weeks analysis for real, read the chart and play the thing for the week, we cooked, hope you all did too, all 3). anyway a lot on there, i think it's downward, people buying the wrong dip in my opinion, much more liquidation to come. good luck

Nasdaq 2025 outlookAs we complete 2024 and the significant move we have experienced in the NQ this year, its time to have a look at the possible outcome for 2025. the ascending triangle suggests a topping pattern and as the Santa Claus rally completes and portfolio adjustments for year-end, I have to conclude that we will see a reasonable correction in January/February next year. I have drawn boxes to indicate my support and resistance areas. As we all have found out this year sentiment is a primary driver of markets but we are so extended and selling rallies is challenging. I don't believe in fighting the trend but look for a set-up that limits your risk, happy holidays and take care

Daily Nasdaq Insights – December 22, 2024Hello, this is Greedy All-Day. Before the Nasdaq's movements beginning on December 23rd, let’s dive into a weekend analysis to prepare for the upcoming market conditions. Weekly Chart Analysis The weekly Nasdaq chart presents a rare occurrence—a bearish candlestick after a significant upward trend. Interestingly, the length of both the upper and lower wicks is quite balanced, resulting in a large Doji-like candlestick. However, a Doji candlestick doesn’t necessarily signal a trend reversal to the downside. Why? The Ichimoku Cloud's Lagging Span remains above the candlesticks. Unless we see significant bearish momentum, the Lagging Span is likely to find support from the candlesticks below. The price is still holding above the 20-week moving average, which currently sits at 20,503. A bearish move into the Ichimoku Cloud would require the price to drop further to 19,383 to fully enter the cloud zone. In conclusion, the weekly chart suggests that the uptrend is still intact. Despite closing the week with a bearish candle, it followed a recent all-time high. This could indicate a temporary pause rather than a definitive reversal, keeping the potential for further upward movement on the table. Daily Chart Analysis Examining the daily chart, the Lagging Span still remains above the candlesticks, reinforcing that a trend reversal is not yet confirmed. Additionally, the long-term upward trendline remains intact. For a decisive breakdown to occur: The price would need to break below the thick Ichimoku Cloud (zone between 20,775 and 19,880). A definitive trendline breach would likely occur if the price falls below 19,560, which would signal a clear shift in momentum. At this stage, the daily chart reflects resilience within the broader uptrend despite recent pullbacks. 1-Hour Chart Analysis The 1-hour chart reveals why Nasdaq's current direction is ambiguous. Resistance Zone (Orange Box): This is the final key resistance trendline. A breakout above this level would provide a clear buy signal, as the price would enter the red box supply zone. If this resistance is overcome, Nasdaq has a high probability of testing the red box’s upper boundary near 22,432, potentially forming a double top or even reaching a new all-time high. Friday's session did see a rebound, but: While the yellow box resistance was broken, the price failed to hold support near the session close, which casts doubt on the strength of the rebound. To confirm further upside momentum, the price needs to break above the blue box resistance near 21,935. Without reclaiming this level, the strong bearish candlestick from Friday’s session raises skepticism about whether this was a genuine reversal or merely a temporary relief rally. Final Thoughts Historically, markets have often rallied during the holiday season, but this year appears to present more complex conditions. Instead of trying to predict the market, focus on reacting to key levels and signals. I will continue to provide detailed and actionable analysis to assist you in navigating these challenging markets. Stay prepared and trade wisely!

NQ1 - Rate Cut Dip Buy Part 2I clicked "trading closed" or whatever on the previous thread so its easier to start another one, but look back for previous detail if you like... ... NQ1 Quite a wild little period here as you're busy preparing for Christmas 😅. But this is now a juncture where the wild downside may be coming to an end. ... Nice little bounce so here and its a weak 1:0.618 extension. So this tells us that there could be a significant bounce coming. Didn't quite hit support but front running is common with bullish indexes. ... Remember that although this is a long term 1.618 reaction that has historically led to major collapses, this area may also be post rate cut volatility. And so there is the possibility that the first wave of whipsaw is completing. If that is the case then we may see some strong bullish action. I think there is a reasonable chance that we may see a V shaped recovery. Though there can be minor pull backs along the way Up and up from here 👍. Not advice

NQ - Nasdaq? Read Tomorrows Wallstreet JournalIt hasn’t made any sense for a long time now how the markets keep climbing. Manipulation? Self-perpetuation? Honestly, who cares why. As the saying goes: “The dwarves dug too deep. And what they unearthed was their doom.” Or, in another version: “The greedy vultures flew too high, and all they found was gravity.” In the chart, we see two pitchforks: The orange one highlights the actual overextension. The white one represents the moderated version. Interpreting this image is simple if you have a rulebook you can trust—and a few decades of market experience under your belt. §8-) 1. **The price turns at the orange centerline.** This means the market is in "balance"—in the context of the overextension. Or… 2. **Put differently:** In the context of the white pitchfork, the market overshot the upper median line parallel. This was an overextension by a factor of 2. **What do we do with this?** We stick to the rulebook for median lines. The rulebook says that when the price trades above the U-MLH (upper median line parallel), fails to hold, and drops back into the fork, the market will fall to the next line. - **Orange fork:** Down to the L-MLH (lower median line parallel). - **White fork:** Down to the centerline. Beyond that, I **think/guess/predict/read-tea-leaves** that the market will fall much deeper in 2025. Please note the distinction here: - The first statement is the projection—the interpretation of the chart. - The latter is a speculation (no crystal ball involved). For me, it’s clear: medium-term **short** with multiple price targets.
