NQ Targets (02-14-23)

The Monday move has propped the NAZ up and makes the next move very hard to predict. Option 1 is white and 2 is yellow. O/N should be flat and expect a 1 way blast at CPI release. Gov't related news has been moving the markets the most recently and I expect this will continue. The U Turn in the Danger Zone today, may be just another prop drop/offset and will help to stabilize any hit. After pre Open move, it will be interesting to see the 2nd reaction (buy dip or fade rally).

Note: For those that follow, after 3 years and nearly 500 Daily TV Post's, I will be ending the Daily Forecast & Intraday free service. I am moving to a private service that will use TradingView Charts, including my IDS Indicators. Message me if you have interest. I will continue some usual post's through the mid/end of February or until new program is ready. Thanks for following and all your support.

Note

Really thinking to just place a huge Short, feeling that the current level is pure prop. The chart below (box) is the weekly range of last week. The Fib level now is .618 and this is after 1 day.

Note

IDS100 The yellow arrow divergence does support the Short. Only issue is the could be start of run as O/N volume does skew the indicator. Just feels like a drop is on the way.

Note

Short at 12650 with target of 12400, Potential play on short side. Long is 12700 and sideways.

Note

Stall above and drop below 12300

Note

Pump dump, playing out. Short under 12650

Note

Strong Short under 12525

Note

If you are shorting use a stop as Knee Jerk is likely or wait.

Note

Funny Bloomberg was just talking about "Why yesterday was up"? They also said that explaining every tick is stupid. My take is in line and I go with the Tricks, Games and whipsaw that just keeps ripping Joe Lunch bucket. All done ny the Pro's and only Trader's may understand these moves. My current Short call has a 50/50 and we will see. Today may be 2 way as we are at a cross road.

Note

Bingo Short Scalp

Note

Now the 2 way, any stall after Open may sell big. NAZ is stall in last weeks range. Games will come to an end and the fall is likely.

Note

Careful in this Box

Note

WHIPSAW, Wow! Box break is next big trade.

Note

Back after Open.

Note

12545 is Key and Flat for week and day. NAZ will magically try and stay above and any drop below and stay under will sell off.

Note

IDS20, Watch for white tips being Sold (under Red Line)

Note

12460 Long bounce scalp, look for.

Note

Back to 545 test is likely.

Note

Drop test and may see 1 way lower day as this stalls out on upside. Stay Short under 545. Back later this will be slow and painful until we get moving.

Note

Strong Short under 625

Note

This lift should drop some, stall on next attempt higher and the drop further. May be today or tomorrow. Back Later.

Note

Pump Dump #2 or is this 3?

Note

Magically Flat again, Games.

Note

3-4 way Scalping

Note

12350 is next for Bounce or Long above and Short below.

Note

425 must hold for long here

Note

425 retest hold is long scalp to 545, otherwise stay short

Note

NAZ continues to being held up.

Note

Circles are strong Resistance and a pass is a Long.

Note

The idea or game today is to whipsaw you out and then the big move is on. This move is most likely lower as the stall outs persist. Dead Zone PA is usually the opposite of major move/trend.

Note

Watch this move may be actually targeting 12350.

Note

12585 is Long above and Short below.

Note

Hold Long as it may pass 540, trail it.

Note

Flat again. This is so rigged not even fair.

Note

You can just imagine the noise and confusion that is going on in other trading rooms. Love it.

Note

OK, no pass and look for 350 as next target. Need to let this play out, longer than you may think, Back Later.

Note

350 only should NAZ pas 465

Note

559 and under revers trade.

Note

Stay LONG Ticks just POPPED, TRAIL

Note

12585 is last test on way up.

Note

BTD/FOMO'S Buying and Shorts are covering. Needs to keep moving are down we go.

Note

Mentioned today would be painful, Still feel drop is likely. Trail

Note

Now under 585 is key.

Note

Once Stop clean out done should drop. Closed Long, looking short. Looks like Edge Trade developing.

Note

This will move just watch ticks in final hour and may go up.

Note

680 is upper target on Long if you are Long.

Note

Long not much higher than high, making it look tempting. May work and usually does. thne they drop it, usually. You should have points to work with, this is the way it goes at this time of day.

Note

535 was 100 point move and next 100 may be lower. Stalling is clue. Remember, most traders trade long only and is why the lift keeps coming back, this is normal.

Note

Pro's will wait for stall and then rip it lower.

Note

The Rip may be higher, which is better from their POV

Note

602 is Top 1st 30M, watch the level.

Note

Notice the weakness and stall out, why is that if going higher with strength? Just odd. Again, it can go higher so be patient. The shorts at the bottom got out and covered which is why we saw the lift, not because of real buying.

Note

Here we go for another drop test.

Note

Long Trap / Edge Trade combo would be nice here at 600ish

Note

No Fed No Rally, lets see. Again, bias is always Long until it is not.

Note

BTD/FOMO crusher attempt. A hold is decent move higher. 602 is level to break.

Note

O/N high is 640, we are usually under that also. Under 640 should try 600.

Note

Ba Bye is likely and may be in final 10M (under 640).

Note

Flash Crash? Why not. We need that.

Trade closed manually

602 held. BTD. Needs to pass 640, Just a huge run here to the Long side, really. Do you think the NAZ will run 100-200 points in the final hour? If so, better short for tomorrow.

Note

We will keep seeing the U Turns every time we get near Danger Zone. 12400 is Danger Zone

Note

final 2 minutes had the same movement amount as entire final hour, that is bullish. Yeh. Danger Zone break through on the way.

Note

O/N may be the place to play tonight. Low volume and we still have not seen a limit down O/N session the entire Bear. This have never happened since Futures have been in place.

Note

I have been saying that big moves happen at/in off session times. Look Short in O/N.
