Elliott Wave View: Nasdaq Futures (NQ_F) Poised To Extend HigherThe Nasdaq Futures (NQ_F) favors higher in bullish impulse sequence from April-2025 low. It already broke above December-2024 high & expect short term pullback in 3, 7 or 11 swings to remain supported. Impulse sequence unfolds in 5, 9, 13, 17, 21….. swings count. It ended daily corrective pullback in double correction at 16460 low of 4.07.2025 low. On daily, it should extend into 28864 – 26152 area to finish April cycle before next pullback start. Above there, it favors rally in (3) of ((1)). It placed (1) of ((1)) at 21858.75 high, (2) at 21071.50 low as shallow connector & favoring upside in 5 of (3) against 7.13.2025 low. Every pullback after 4.21.2025 low was shallow & unfolded in 3, 7 or 11 swings calling for more upside as long as it stays above 5.30.2025 low. Within (3), it ended 1 at 22222 high, 2 at 21566.75 low, 3 at 23102.50 high, 4 at 22803 low & favors upsides in 5 of (3). Wave 4 as flat correction ended in 7.13.2025 low of 22803 low.
Below 3 of (3) high, it placed ((a)) at 22779.75 low, ((b)) at 23112 high & ((c)) at 22803 low as flat connector against 6.22.2025 low. Above there, it ended ((i)) at 23424.75 high as diagonal & ((ii)) at 23108 low in 3 swing pullbacks. Above there, it should continue rally in ((iii)) of 5, which will confirm above 23424.75 high to avoid double correction. Within ((i)), it placed (i) at 23222.75 high, (ii) at 22835.5 low, (iii) at 23320.75 high, (iv) at 23169.50 low & (v) at 23424.75 high. Currently, it favors upside in 5 of (3) into 23493.5 – 23934.5 area, above 7.13.2025 low before (4) pullback. Based on swing sequence, it already has enough number of swings in (3) to call the cycle completed. But as long as it stays above price trendline, passing through 2 & 4, it should continue upside into extreme area. We like to buy the next pullback in 3, 7 or 11 swings at extreme area for intraday rally. It favors upside in April-2025 cycle & expected to remain supported in (4) & later in ((2)) pullback as next buying opportunity.
NQ Targets (07-18-25)I have not posted a Target call in awhile, this one is Long to upper TZ (23,486) and Short to YTD Open level. Prior use of Diablo's to Target drop was prior to NAZ 25% drop (11/24 Post's).
We are due for some drop retesting as we watch typical Long Side Tweets, Tricks and Games start to fizzle some. Today into Monday will be a key signal.

Intro to what I call Algo TradingAlgorithmic training can mean different things to different people what I mean when I say the term algorithmic trading is just things that happen automatically.
Some guys have like these really complex formulas and based on like all this really advanced mathematics. If I'm being 100% honest i'm essentially looking at pictures on a chart and looking at the patterns.
But the pictures on the chart themselves are based on really advanced mathematical formulas or they can be at least or a combination of multiple mathematical formulas that then that the result of our represented by a picture on a chart.
So I look at the pictures on the chart I analyzed them really carefully and if it looks good I use artificial intelligence to code the idea so it happens automatically based on the rules that I set.

2025-07-21 - priceactiontds - daily update - nasdaqGood Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: Melt-up and bears failed to close below last weeks high, which means we are still max bullish. Until bears print below 23200, longs just make more sense than trying to look for shorts.
current market cycle: bull trend
key levels: 23000 - 23500
bull case: Bulls remain in full control until we get a daily close below 22700. First target for the bears is a lower low, which means getting below today’s spike 23225. That would be a start but likely means sideways rather than more selling. If we stay above 23200, we can continue to print many more new highs.
Invalidation is below 22700.
bear case: Bears obviously are not doing enough. They need to print 23200 and that would only be the first small start. It would open the possibility for a test of 23000 but since we are barely printing any red bars and have not broken any bull trend line so far, it’s stupid to look for shorts. Wait for much bigger selling pressure.
Invalidation is above 23500.
short term: Neutral but if anything I am looking for long scalps against support like the 1h 20ema.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-06-29: No change in plans. I expect 20000 to get hit over the next 3 months and maybe 19000 again.
trade of the day: Long US open. Just a quick melt-up but I missed it.
NQ Weekly Outlook & Game Plan 20/07/2025NQ Weekly Outlook & Game Plan
🧠 Fundamentals & Sentiment
Market Context:
NQ continues its bullish momentum, driven by institutional demand and a supportive U.S. policy environment.
📊 Technical Analysis:
Price is currently in price discovery, and the weekly structure remains strongly bullish — so I prefer to follow the strength.
We might see a minor retracement before pushing further above the all-time high (ATH).
🎯 Game Plan:
I'm expecting a potential retracement to the 0.5 Fibonacci level, which is the discount zone in a bullish environment.
Interestingly, the 4H liquidity zone aligns perfectly with the 0.5 Fib level — this confluence suggests price may gather enough energy from there to make new highs.
✅ Follow for weekly recaps & actionable game plans.

NASDAQ Futures (/NQ) Outlook – Weekly Chart As of August 1,2025NASDAQ Futures (/NQ) Outlook – Weekly Chart
As of August 1, 2025
Current Price: 22,915.75
RSI (14): 61.34 – momentum remains bullish, but cooling off
🧭 Short-Term Outlook:
The recent weekly candle shows strong rejection and a -2.16% drop, suggesting a possible correction phase.
Price is now heading toward the 0.236 Fib retracement zone (~22,120) — a logical short-term support.
If this level doesn't hold, the next major support sits around the 0.382 zone (~21,045), aligning with your second expected zone (~21,000).
🛑 Support Levels to Watch:
~22,120 – Fibonacci 23.6%, prior structure zone
~21,000–21,045 – Confluence with 38.2% Fib + former resistance
~20,175 – 50% retracement, deeper retest if sentiment shifts
Mid-Term Bias (Q4 2025 Outlook):
After this pullback phase, your projected path implies:
A bullish resumption from the support levels (likely from 21k–22k zone)
Consolidation into Q4
A breakout continuation toward new highs above 24,000 into 2026
This outlook remains valid as long as 20,000 holds — a clean invalidation point for medium-term bulls.
Also, whenever the daily Candle closes above high of thid week which is the ~23845 points , this outlook become invalid too.

NQ : Key levelsHere are the key levels that the market will be interested in. From the yellow level ~23.477 you can already look for shorting trades. However, I would be careful with shorts on US indices. The other levels are still risky for limit order trading.
