NQ Targets (09-22-25)

2 194
NAZ with Friday-Monday O/N breakdown into Monday Open Drive (looking for Open Dive today). 24,900 is KL, Long above Short Scalp below to drop target test below.
4HR below with Blue YTD open level.
snapshot
Note
Since 2024, 23,000 and up NAZ is vertical. Usually we will see a dop test, may be due. 22,000 has a gap fill target and failed auctions.
snapshot
Note
IDS27, you can see the Push/Pull developing over past 2 sessions. The fact the the O/N is lower (on a Monday) is odd, NAZ needs the off session rig points going into the Reg Session.
snapshot
Note
Stall out here is a Short.
snapshot
Note
Strong Short here, 960. Scalp Drop test and back inside the range.
snapshot
Note
Loading Short on the lift, aggressive do not follow if you do not have the points.
Note
Looking like a drop offset lift to stabilize the index from the drop to follow. Tricks, Govt issued info and low volume. The highest recent volume days was when the NAZ dipped last. Wash ST. at work.
Note
Price to perfection, 1 mistake or stubbed toe and away we go.
Note
Pure sideways here with no force. Back later.
snapshot
Note
875 1st target drop test
snapshot
Note
Back to sideways and most likely up in the O/N, look for Pump/Dump near Open.
snapshot
Note
For those Short, the lift is around 100 above target turn, the O/N price action may NOT lift since we have completed the F-M typical lift move. The next move is higher or shake out long prior to drop scalp. Back to TL or 24,900 is likely.
snapshot
Note
9/23 Update, Many times a string short can be early, key day and big move today. Wait on this one and get it correct.
snapshot
Note
snapshot
Note
Range and potential TZ. Long above ML and Short below.
snapshot
Note
24,900-800 1st move to set up 2nd after reaction. Has to stay under 950.
snapshot
Note
TL hit.
snapshot
Note
Waiting on leavy to break, Strong Short may have been early again. We shall see if no Tweets or DZ Magic redirects.
snapshot
Note
Get the Led Out already. BTD/FOMO is a fad, bait set up for some retesting and back to basics. Balance is natural and needed, at some point. The 950 level is being defended since it is a crucial level. Hang on and watch the Shake Out near 970.
snapshot
Note
Hook Short or Pop at 970.
Note
Push/Pull and Strong Short #2.
snapshot
Note
Index levels may be priced for as good as it gets here, drop should follow. Back later and stop near 24,985-25,000 just in case. Go Fed, BTD/FOMO on fumes.
Note
24,900, next KL, The Song Remains the Same (NAZ struggling to get lower). Rock On, leaving Shorts on, stop at 25,040.
snapshot
Note
914 lowest so far. NAZ should try yellow arrows below so trail the drop or lower stop. The NAZ will struggle to get lower. This may take hours/days/weeks. Plan is to leave stop at 25,040 and scalp drops under, lift up close short and reload short until the leavy breaks under those 2 arrows. You can play the Long side up (same points) if you are want.
snapshot
Note
24,900 hit, just watch the U Turn as this is a Danger Zone level. NAZ dropping like a SNAIL. 24,851 is next under 24,900 and to the Moon above 900-950 (with a Tweet and no volume needed).
snapshot
Note
IDS View, BTD/FOMO's getting some heat.
snapshot
Note
Expressway?
snapshot
Note
Expressway may be under 24,775 and sideways above until O/N failed lift ONLY.
snapshot
Note
Picked up some speed, needs to get under 775 (and stay under).
snapshot
Note
Balance is back, 24,450 is next under 775. YEP.
snapshot
Note
Look lower if no magic lift.
snapshot
Note
9/24 Update, O/N with slight lift, range to watch.
snapshot
Note
Target trades
snapshot
Note
Since 2nd Strong Short call the automatic lifting seems to have have lost some juice. Look for increased p/p and less struggle to get lower in Reg Session today. Should this take place just watch the Tweets & long tricks.
snapshot
Note
Strong Short #3 is NAZ below ML TZ.
snapshot
Note
NAZ did stay under the ML of the TZ, not sure it drops to lower TZ (yellow arrow below). Like I said, this may takes days/weeks. BTD/FOMO/GoFed, where are the Tweets? Need some failed lifts from various Noise, then we should drop with some force.
snapshot
Note
Chart people like the NDX Daily, I think that is a Top? This is YTD of NDX with room for a drop. Back later, too slow and will not overtrade (just holding Short).
snapshot
Note
24,540 next stop, wiggles - sideways to pop or deeper drop. BTD/FOMO's have No Quarter. Led is out some.
snapshot
Note
720 head fake may be next. longer term keep eye on range back to ML should it break above 720.
snapshot
Note
Strong Short #4 is 720-40 no pass, use your points you just made.
snapshot
Note
Another view, notice the Gap to left. Circle is lower U Turn away from Major Danger Zone (why we had the Gap). Under that is interesting.
snapshot
Note
Where is Waldo and magic word salad machine?
Note
2 hours left in Reg, 760 - 630 is range. The O/N usually will lift (99% of the time). If it does not then we are in a new game (because the Reg Session sells off 90% of the time).
snapshot
Note
At Close, still in range and will most likely get pushed up in O/N. Like I said, days and weeks to register any significant drop. ML retest is not out and the range can be lower half of TZ should the O/N redirect this drop. Basically boring days lately.
snapshot
Note
9/25 Update, O/N with no auto loft and #4 rejected with NAZ in lower range.
snapshot
Note
Just watch the U turn near 24,500 in lower range below under orange TL. No U Turn follow next yellow lower.
snapshot
Note
Diablo on 30M
snapshot
Note
This is IDS27 view with markers. IDS is not time based and is a Range Chart. Only paints a price is we have movement. This is unlike candle charts that paint every chart period (5, 10, 30 minute, etc.) The markers are coming over from candle and onto the range chart.
snapshot
Note
NAZ may need more than some butterflies & rainbow's Tweets should this keep up. BTD/FOMO in to the Long Trap. Interesting to see if U Turn shows up near 540-440, No and then we do have a new game.
Note
U Turn away from Danger Zone.
snapshot
Note
24,500 Should retest.
snapshot
Note
Short #5, not a Strong. Scalp the Stall Outs. Just watch under/near the Diablo.
snapshot
Note
Need to see some heavy selling force or back up in Dead Zone or O/N tonight.
Note
Break under Danger Zone and Wash ST may get a Margin Call, or not and will PRINT. They will do all they can to fight that off.
Note
Budget Fix Noise cand fix that for the FOMO's. Margin increase.
Note
Under 9/17 low is next DZ. I would be shocked if we get that low but FYI.
snapshot
Note
To the left you can see the O/N Rigged Failed Auction, these are what I look for and wait for the retest. Highly reliable and produce BALANCE (lately, from the Short side since up is all we see). Go Wash ST, tricks and traps.
snapshot
Note
Whipsaw shakeout? Can go as high as 840 should it pass Diablo (hitting now).
snapshot
Note
snapshot
Note
Back Later, just watch the Diablo reaction near, may rotate around. Interesting to see if the F-M Long Play saves the day or accelerates the move lower.
Note
24,695 is the definition of a Stall out. If this does not drop I will retire and start an Triple Long Index ETF.
Note
Reg Session selling, today we have the drop (open) and head fake test for the nibblers. String Short is back under Open Price at Reg Session. This will fight to stay up and into O/N Safe Zone.
snapshot
Note
Snail movement, Waldo Watch is on, no Tweet and lower we go. Most of the price action lately is like a script on a TV Show. New material is needed.
Note
Watch this level from now until Friday Close.
snapshot
Note
Showtime
snapshot
Note
Diablo move did play out as usual. For now I will hold off on the Triple Long ETF idea. Still waiting a on a timely Tweet or two from Washington Hedge Fund Service & Capital Management & Margin Prime Brokerage.
snapshot
Note
24,500 did retest, all normal and part of the flow. Balance is back.
snapshot
Note
9/26 Update, O/N struggling for direction, near Diablo and the U Turn move may be in the works going into the F-M Long paly. Reg Session will have to sell hard or back up we go. FOMO's have been sidelined and need to press some long buttons (since that is all they can do). This and the fact that the lift away from Danger Zone may warrant caution on shorts (until stall out under ML). Key day and expect a major battle.
snapshot
Note
snapshot
Note
Govt shutdown noise into weekend may be final drop move after any lift to stall out, expect a Wash Street Insider Trading Services Tweet of Butterflies and Rainbows to redirect any drop near DZ. I am Flat and will sit out the garbage.
Note
Under 617 is key on this chart
snapshot
Note
Sideways and range is in the arrow to the right, need a breakout and expect lift in Dead Zone. I am waiting on the Stall Out Drop with Force.
snapshot
Note
560 reaction is key here.
snapshot
Note
Watch the lower range here and reaction.
snapshot
Note
24,600 lift or no pass/reaction is the next signal. May go sideways for a while.
snapshot
Trade closed manually
Back to 24,600 and under Diablo (570) the sideways PA is designed to wear you out and shake you off the Short Side so it can lift in any lower volume trading period (such as Dead Zone or Overnight). This one will try for lift or go sideways to the close and then lift up in O/N into Monday. That is, unless a stall out appears and turns to a drop with force. Have a good one, I will be out until Monday.
snapshot
Note
snapshot
Note
Like I said, this may take days/weeks. The arrow below is the Danger Zone or U Turn Zone depending how it plays out. It is a Friday and we need to see if the Long Rig play shows up or not. You just can feel the BTD/FOMO's lurking around. These people have been shut down for 3 days.
snapshot
Note
Mid day low volume dead zone BTD/FOMO zombies, sad but part of the mix.
snapshot
Note
This should be interesting, slight Air Pocket for Zombies.
snapshot
Note
Under 691 will drop. Long above.
Note
691 test in 7 minutes
snapshot
Note
Failed Auction lift alert and gap for next week, Monday Reg or Tuesday Open Drive. Zombie Power.
snapshot
Note
Drop got to 699 and then up in O/N, this is how they do it and this may continue through Monday Close. This may set up AP that will be retested.
snapshot
Note
9/29 Pre Open, Zombie Power indeed. This is what you need to watch out for, the typical usual redirect during the F-M (weekend) into Monday rig play. It just seems that for a few years that many great market events seem to happen specifically during these hours (week after week after week), that is why it goes back up (correct ?).
snapshot
Note
I will now start the development of that Triple Long ETF that only trades during the O/N (overnight). New Post for this week, in a few.
