The F-M Long Rig is active with a Gap Up and Pump/Dump play. Just notice KL 486 and how/when the NAZ gets above. In O/N, the Reg Session and previous hits at 23,440 got rejected and is why you are seeing the move in the off session. The BTD/FOMO chase is active, Pump/Dump near Open today for next move.

Note
NDX Vertical since 4/8
snapshot
Note
Yellow arrow below is Zone to watch for retest. This may not happen today (may be next few).
snapshot
Note
Just review the Posts and note all the non Reg Session Long Only PA. The lifts have not been holding at 1st move, the number of off session long moves are triple that of reg session (mostly flat to negative) and is why the NAZ is higher. Today is interesting since we a have a gap up open and pump/dump playing out prior to open drive. Scalp shorts will turn into Hold Shorts around KL 23,500.
snapshot
Note
23,500 is Key today and NAZ may rotate around all day. Most holds after 1st 30-60 minutes have need slowly floating up to the close and next O/N session. Take your time with loading up short in this range.
snapshot
Note
NAZ appears to only move in O/N, strange PA. Look for a quick drop or sell off should the snail lift stall out.
snapshot
Note
NAZ is only 80 points above prior 5 day high, looking like a Long Trap and strength to upside is extremely weak. Which is why the off session plays are being used all the time to lift it.
Note
Loaded up Short at 23,500 with 100 point stop to start this out. At this point, will keep with shorting 1st and covering 2nd until drop break out.
Note
NAZ should start to drop. half of the day and nowhere but sideways.
snapshot
Note
23,100 should next major retest. Again, can't get passed the Long Lift Tricks at key trading times on any day.
snapshot
Note
Channel moved on this one and new Diablo.
snapshot
Note
Strange days lately. No body really made money unless the went Short at the top. Final 15m may run back up 20-30 points. Let the drop play run in O/N, feeling like a curveball night.
snapshot
Note
Popped back up but may just be a head fake. The same old patterns are too predictable and easy. The game should or will change, always has in the past.
snapshot
Note
7/29 Update, Same straight up in the O/N after a sell off pump/dump O/N session. Looking at another pump/dump Open Drive sell off. The O/N is The BOSS and reg session is flat to lower.
snapshot
Note
Back on Short at 23,600 with 200 point stop. Will add as it may lift in Reg Session or just prior to Open. Tariff deals, index levels and most noise is all weak, at best.
snapshot
Note
Basically from 22,700 and up is weak price action from off reg session periods. The bounce off low was 2,000 10 minute move and another huge Sunday into Monday move. Those 2 moves are about 60-70% of this lift. The balance is mostly like what we saw yesterday/last night. No real strength and will need a retest. 22,700 is 1st major zone to expect.
snapshot
Note
Left circles are your drop zones. Long on holds and Scalp shorts on stalls. Play 1 or both, range is narrow.
snapshot
Note
Range of play for balance of the week.
snapshot
Note
23,625 Added to Short
Note
Add in circle and scalp the 584 test drop, look for 584-486 to be lower sideways zone for next move.
snapshot
Note
Divergence AP Drop test should show up or this will lift up slowly. The snail price action should result in a sell off at some point, we have seen it for weeks.
Note
23,630 Added Short
Trade active
Stop at 23,800 and walking away. Drop or Stop out on this one. BTD/FOMO into Fed Day.
Trade closed manually
See you Thursday.
Note
Need a Tweety Bird play here. Should NAZ stay under KL 584 it will tank. Look for a Bird Song SOON.
snapshot
Note
Around 584, Short shake out with Tweet and next move is the Big One.
Note
Spike wick, selling signal for now and when? In the Reg Session. When did the NAZ lift? In the off Session. See the Rig Pattern. Need some selling force or going back up. Should the wick stay, then we should see some heavier selling. Done for now and stop is above just in case.
snapshot
Note
In range for next move, lower is outside day reversal.
snapshot
Note
ODR Hit and half off.
snapshot
Note
23,515 back short with 2nd half. Stop at 23,600, Tweet on China created the pop, timely as the danger zone was getting ready. Back to ODR
snapshot
Note
Washington Steet and the Media are the puppet masters. Why? always long and off session, dead zone, etc.
Note
Expect a Tweet or two, if not back lower.
Note
For those that have ben following for the past few years, the 3 yellow arrows are TLX's that may be targets. You have to be wondering why the NAZ popped at yesterday close most of the O/N? Most likely a drop offset, that would be added to the Sunday Gap Open. The lower TLX's are drop targets. Tricks & Tweet watch are new trading skills that you need to add to traditional trading skills.
