NASDAQ-NAS100 | Long-Term Sell Zone | Prof.TraderTilki Guys, greetings, I prepared a NASDAQ analysis for you on the daily timeframe. The 28,800 support was broken with a candle close, but my best sell entry zones are 30,645 and 30,075. If NASDAQ reaches 30,645 – 30,075, I’ll open a sell there, set my stop at 31,710, and target 26,767. The risk/reward ratio of this trade will be 2.00. But remember, this is a daily swing analysis. If I open a sell at these levels, reaching the target will take time since it’s a long‑term setup.

MACRO LONG Nasdaq QQQ Stocks approaching It looks like we are at the final phases of this bull market IMHO from an Elliott Wave perspective. That said, my analysis leads me to believe we likely have 1 more leg up. I'm looking for a local consolidation in the near term, before one more move lower (wave 5) to complete a larger flat structure. Using another, proprietary trading method, I have added levels of interest, including indicating which I would ideally take with that method in bold. However, I am not convinced price will go that

NQ Targets (11-04-26)This one is getting interesting, the O/N vs Reg Session moves are where the action is. The reason may have to do with the ease of movement by those that can move move it (during the O/N). You can read one of research reports regarding this (it will get much more apparent). The/my forecast's are usually ahead of the move, this is a problem until you understand the games/tricks and trading periods. The chart below was posted yesterday, see what I mean. Regarding today's Post, the Reg Session today

NASDAQ Stretched enough? Potential bounce ahead.After the Trade-Trigger (TT) line broke, the NASDAQ retreated and traded down toward its natural equilibrium: the Centerline, our 80% target. The yellow fork measures price momentum using pivots instead of RealSwings. As shown, it converges with the red Centerline and the yellow L-MLH. This is an inflection point where a significant reaction is likely; either a trend reversal or a decisive break of the red Centerline. The grey fork is what I call the "What-If" fork. It projects potential scena

Cash Settlement vs Physical Delivery On April 20, 2020, May WTI crude oil futures settled at −$37.63 per barrel. Traders weren't just selling oil at a steep discount. Some were paying others to take the contracts off their hands as expiration approached. The collapse in oil demand was part of the story, but so was a less familiar problem: the contract's physical delivery requirements. Traders holding the expiring contract faced the prospect of accepting crude oil when storage capacity at the delivery hub was running out. When a f

NQ-Tradingplan 06.11.26 Yesterday, Nasdaq saw a massive sell-off of more than 2,000 points. We sold at the right areas — check the previous post to see the setup. After such a strong move, today’s focus is on how price reacts around the current key levels. For today’s trading session, I clearly prefer the short side. 🟢 Scenario A: If NQ can hold above the Daily Break Line and confirm strength, a recovery toward the upper Value Area and ATR Range remains possible. 🔴 Scenario B: If the market fails here and loses the

The Debt Nobody Can See: AI & Private Credit How the borrowing behind the AI boom is hiding in a corner of finance almost nobody can measure, and what the Nasdaq is telling us about it. The simple version In 2008, the problem was easy to point at. Bad home loans were packed into products that sat mostly inside a handful of big banks. When things broke, regulators knew where to look and who to rescue. Today, the risk is harder to find. A lot of the money being borrowed to fuel the AI boom isn't coming from banks. It's coming from pri

Micro NQ futures: Support failure signals bearish continuation Market structure | 30-minute Micro Nasdaq futures Micro Nasdaq futures experienced significant selling pressure before finding buyers near the major 28,100 support area. The subsequent recovery carried price through the former 28,220–28,350 support zone, eventually reaching approximately 28,518. However, buyers failed to sustain the recovery. Price reversed sharply, surrendered the reclaimed territory, and returned to challenge the major support area near 28,100. Sydney/Tokyo session | Rene

11/3-4 ON PX Action Wild Ride. Huge ON sweep zone. Use caution. Small quantities. Fewer trades. At 10.15 pause. Assess PX action. Does prior day settlement (305.75) hold?

IF PX action is unfavorable THEN be cautious. Every day @ 10.15 ET my alarm sounds. I pause and assess PX chart. This is one of my best trade management tools. T

Nasdaq futures sit on the 200-day MA after a failed bounce Yesterday Nasdaq 100 futures bounced to 28,891, right under the broken October low near 29,000, and then sold off into the close at 28,128.

The dashed line connects them. • The October low at 28,987-29,033 broke on Friday and acted as resistance on Monday's bounce. • Today's low so far is 28,038, a brief dip

NQ Trading Plan | 09.11.2026 NQ is currently trading in the middle of an important key zone. 🔴 Short scenario: The Daily Break Line is around 27,200. As long as we do not get a confirmed M30 close above the zone at 27,425, the upper area remains a short zone for me. If NQ moves into this upper area and confirms a Lower Low on M3, I will look for short opportunities. 🟢 Long scenario: If the market returns to support, I will only look for longs once M3 confirms a Higher High. M30 defines the levels — M3 provides the confi

NQ-Tradingplan NQ is currently approaching an important decision zone. 🔴 The area around the Reference High and the upper ATR Range remains a clear short zone for me. A long only becomes interesting if we get a confirmed M30 close above 28,892. 🟢 Breakout confirmed = potential toward 29,400+ 🔴 Rejection from the zone = a pullback toward the breakout level / lower ATR Range around 27,800 remains possible. The levels come from the M30 timeframe — execution only happens after confirmation.

NQ after Thursday's flush: Friday's normal day sets the box Thursday's regular session on NQ was a true expansion day: a sharp afternoon liquidation from the 28,200 area into the 26,700s, a range of roughly 1,500 points, close to three times a typical session. Friday was the opposite. The RTH range was 436.5 points, 88% of the 20-session average (495.25) and only the 55th percentile of those sessions. Price rotated between roughly 26,980 and 27,420 and closed near the middle at 27,107.50. What I'm watching this week: - Friday's RTH high and low (about

MNQ November Outlook | Bearish Bias, Liquidity & CRT Market Structure Protocol | Discipline Over Noise As we transition from October into November, the higher-timeframe narrative remains bearish. October delivered significant downside displacement on the monthly candle, accompanied by bearish SMT divergence. However, with such an expansive bearish candle, the question becomes: Are we positioned for continued distribution, or does price first need to rebalance inefficiencies before delivering lower? My current outlook favors bearish continuation,

How to Build Your First Trading Plan Most new traders think a trading plan is a strategy. It’s not. A plan tells you how much to risk, when to walk away, and what to do the moment things go wrong. Every trader who opens a brokerage account can place an order within minutes. Few can explain why that specific trade fits their goals, their account size, and their risk tolerance. Beginners tend to research a stock, a setup, or an indicator, then treat that research as the plan. The research covers what to buy but skips how much to r
