NASDAQ 100 TRADING PLAN ⸻ 🧠 US100 Multi-Timeframe Playbook (W1 → D1 → H4 → M30 → M5) ⸻ 🔹 Higher Timeframe Context WEEKLY (Strong Uptrend): • Key Levels:  – ATH supply: 22,800–23,000  – Support shelf (prior resistance): 22,100–22,200  – 50-SMA: 20,400  – 200-SMA: 16,100 • Summary: Bullish structure is intact as long as price holds above 22,100–22,200 and the long-term trendline. DAILY (Bullish but stretched): • Key Levels:  – Upper Bollinger Band: 23,025  – Mid-band & 20-SMA: 22,430  – 50-SMA: 21,985 • Summary: RSI at 66 and MACD > 0 but flattening. This suggests bullish momentum may be cooling — odds of a pause or pullback rising. 4-HOUR (Wedge – Late-Trend Exhaustion Risk): • Key Levels:  – Rising wedge: upper rail ≈ 23,200, lower ≈ 22,450  – 8-EMA: 22,655 | 21-EMA: 22,425  – Anchored VWAP (from June low): 22,350 • Summary: Ribbon still bullish, but volume and MACD momentum are plateauing. A break below 22,450/VWAP confirms a corrective leg. 30-MINUTE (Neutral to Weak): • Key Levels:  – Descending micro-trendline: 22,725  – Rising support: 22,690  – Session range: High = 22,845 | Low = 22,690 • Summary: Price is coiled near the apex. EMAs curling downward. Market decision point imminent. 5-MINUTE (Immediate Bear Bias): • Key Levels:  – Live VWAP: 22,752  – 9-EMA sloping down  – Stochastic: mid-range • Summary: Price remains below VWAP and 9-EMA. Short-term sellers in control unless VWAP is reclaimed. ⸻ 📈 Trade Setups 1. Swing Long – Buy the Dip • Let price wash through 22,450–22,350 (H4 wedge floor + VWAP zone) • Enter if:  – 30m bullish engulfing or hammer closes back above 22,450  – AND 5m VWAP is reclaimed • Initial Stop: Below liquidity sweep or 22,300 – whichever is lower – minus 0.25 × ATR(14, H4) ≈ 30 pts → around 22,270 • Targets:  – T1: 22,845  – T2: 23,200  – Leave runner for blue-sky continuation • Comment: With weekly trend. Wait for deep retracement. Great RR ≈ 1:3+ ⸻ 2. Intraday Short – Mean Reversion • Trigger Zone: 22,725–22,760 (broken trendline + 5m VWAP) • Enter if:  – 5m rejection wick or bearish engulfing forms on avg+ volume • Stop: Above 22,800 + buffer (≈ 22,820) • Targets:  – T1: 22,600  – T2: 22,450  – Optional T3: 22,350 (VWAP) • Comment: Counter-trend, so treat as scalp. Tight stops. Demand at least 1:2 RR. ⸻ 3. Breakout Long – Trend Continuation • Entry Criteria:  – 30m close above 22,845 with 150%+ average volume  – 5m bull flag holds above breakout level • Stop:  – First 30m candle close back inside the range  – Or 22,770 (flag base) — whichever happens first • Targets:  – T1: 23,025 (Daily BB)  – T2: 23,300 (measured move) • Comment: Only take if strong volume confirms new participation. Avoid during Asia or illiquid hours. ⸻ ⚙️ Execution & Risk Guidelines • Risk per trade: ≤ 1% account (limit counter-trend trades to 0.5%) • Sizing formula:  Contracts = Account Risk / (Stop pts × $ per pt) • ATR reference:  – ATR(14, H4) ≈ 120 pts  – ATR(14, 30m) ≈ 80 pts • Move stop to break-even once price moves 0.75 × stop distance in your favor • Never run trades #2 and #3 at the same time → directional conflict • Watch out for macro data (e.g., NFP, CPI) — can override intraday structure ⸻ ⏱ What to Watch (In Sequence) 1. Overnight – Does price stay pinned below the 30m 21-EMA, or start to float above it? 2. London Open – First test of the 22,725–22,760 zone: fade or reclaim? 3. NY Open – Volume surge confirms either breakout (#3) or fade setup (#2) 4. End of Day – A close below 22,450 on volume = deeper pullback risk toward 22,000 next week ⸻ 🔍 Final Thoughts The trend is still your friend — but the daily and H4 chart are stretched. Let the trade come to you: • Buy the flush only if we dip into confluence support and reclaim key levels (#1) • Buy the breakout only if high volume confirms continuation (#3) • Everything in-between is a scalp fade (#2) — execute cleanly, with defined risk, and respect trend structure. This is for educational purposes. Fit these into your system and risk tolerance. ⸻

NASDAQ 100 – Is Upside Momentum Still Evident?Tough talk on tariffs at the back end of last week and over the weekend from President Trump ahead of his 90 day pause deadline, which is due to end tomorrow (July 9th), helped to put a small dent in trader sentiment, slightly undermining the recent strong upside momentum seen in the US 100 index. This led to a sell off from fresh all time highs of 22908 registered on July 3rd to a low of 22600 yesterday evening, as the letters sent by the US administration outlining import tariffs of 25% sent to Japan, South Korea and another 12 nations were unveiled. However, the moves have been relatively muted since then as traders remain optimistic that there is still time for negotiation to agree trade deals given that the new tariffs won’t go into effect until August 1st, providing a potential further 3 weeks to move things along. Looking forward, in a relatively quiet week for data and central bank speakers, the next moves in the US 100 index towards the Friday close may be dictated by updates on trade deals between the US and EU, and the US and India, both of which have been reported as moving closer to agreement. Technical trends could also be an important factor. Technical Update: Is Upside Momentum Still Evident? Future tariff news has the potential to continue to be a very important sentiment driver for global equities, particularly within the tech sector, which the US 100 index reflects within its constituents. As a result, it can be useful to assess potential support and resistance levels within the US 100 index that traders may be focusing on to gauge the next possible direction for prices. Possible Resistance Levels: Since posting the April 2025 low at 16290, the US 100 index has rallied by over 40% in only a 13-week period. While this has reflected positive sentiment during this time, traders may well now be questioning if this upside momentum can continue, or if it might stall, even leading to price weakness. As such, being aware of potential resistance levels against which to judge current price strength that might be able to hold and possibly reverse this latest activity back to the downside, may prove important. Having previously been strong enough to hold recent price strength, the 22908 July 3rd all-time high, may now represent an area where sellers can be found again, and as such, this marks a potential first resistance focus. However, closing breaks above 22908 might suggest a more extended phase of price strength, with traders then possibly looking to 23429, the upper weekly Bollinger band and on breaks above this, even towards 24482, which is equal to the 38.2% Fibonacci extension of the February to April 2025 price decline, as the next resistance levels. Possible Support Levels: Of course, just because a 40% advance in prices has been seen, doesn’t guarantee it will continue and traders may be trying to focus on support levels that if broken on a closing basis over the coming days, might suggest risks of a more extended decline in price. Looking at the daily chart above, it might be suggested that the first support is currently represented by 22201, the level of the rising Bollinger mid-average. Closing breaks below 22201 could in turn lead to further price declines to test 22053, the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of May 23rd to July 3rd price strength, even 21787, the deeper 50% retracement.

NSDQ100 Bullish Flag continuation pattern developing Metals Market Volatility Trump’s proposed 50% tariff on copper imports triggered a sharp drop in London copper prices (~2%), with risks of falling below $9,000/ton. While U.S. prices spiked on supply concerns, the global move reflects industrial demand fears—potentially weighing on manufacturing and cyclical stocks. Trade Negotiations Intensify Asian trade delegates have logged over 350,000 air miles traveling to Washington as tariff timelines remain unclear. Ongoing uncertainty is capping broader risk appetite, though delayed duties and active talks are offering short-term relief to markets. Fed Under Pressure Trump ramped up criticism of Fed Chair Jerome Powell, calling him “terrible,” and may consider replacing him with top adviser Kevin Hassett. This raises questions about central bank independence and future rate policy, a potential headwind for investor confidence. Market Snapshot U.S. stock futures: Slightly higher Oil: Up, on Red Sea conflict Gold: Down, as risk appetite stabilizes Conclusion – Nasdaq 100 Trading Outlook Near-term view: Mildly bullish, supported by easing trade tension and tech sector strength. Caution warranted: Watch for headline risks from new tariff announcements or Fed-related developments.

NASDAQ After the Fireworks: Bearish Setup LoadedAfter the classic 4th of July rally, I stepped in on the short side of Nasdaq, targeting 22,000 and 21,400 zones. The market structure shows exhaustion, and with the cloud retest failing to hold new highs, I positioned accordingly. Technical: • Price stalled at prior expansion highs with tight compression near 23,000. • Daily FibCloud offered resistance confirmation. • Bearish risk-reward skew forms after extended rally and thin retraces. • Volume divergence spotted. Fundamentals: Multiple overlapping uncertainties: • Trump confirmed tariffs will take effect on August 1, threatening a 10% surcharge on BRICS-aligned nations. • Treasury Secretary Bessent anticipates several trade deal announcements within 48h—but stresses quality over quantity. • Bank of America maintains its base case of 0 rate cuts in 2025, citing strong economic data and sticky inflation risks. The combination of tariff escalation, hawkish monetary expectations, and global trade friction creates a perfect backdrop for volatility and correction—especially in overextended tech indices like the Nasdaq. Note: Please remember to adjust this trade idea according to your individual trading conditions, including position size, broker-specific price variations, and any relevant external factors. Every trader’s situation is unique, so it’s crucial to tailor your approach to your own risk tolerance and market environment.

Bollinger Bands: How to Stop Being a Slave to the Markets.Bollinger Bands are a technical analysis indicator widely used in trading to assess the volatility of a financial asset and anticipate price movements. Created in the 1980s by John Bollinger, they consist of three lines superimposed on the price chart: The middle band: a simple moving average, generally calculated over 20 periods. The upper band: the moving average to which two standard deviations are added. The lower band: the moving average to which two standard deviations are subtracted. These bands form a dynamic channel around the price, which widens during periods of high volatility and narrows when the market is calm. When a price touches or exceeds a band, it can signal an overbought or oversold situation, or a potential trend reversal or continuation, depending on the market context. What are Bollinger Bands used for? Measuring volatility: The wider the bands, the higher the volatility. Identify dynamic support and resistance zones. Detect market excesses: A price touching the upper or lower band may indicate a temporary excess. Anticipate reversals or consolidations: A tightening of the bands often heralds an upcoming burst of volatility. Why is the 2-hour time frame so widely used and relevant? The 2-hour (H2) time frame (TU) is particularly popular with many traders for several reasons: Perfect balance between noise and relevance: The H2 offers a compromise between very short time frames (often too noisy, generating many false signals) and long time frames (slower to react). This allows you to capture significant movements without being overwhelmed by minor fluctuations. Suitable for swing trading and intraday trading: This TU allows you to hold a position for several hours or days, while maintaining good responsiveness to take advantage of intermediate trends. Clearer reading of chart patterns: Technical patterns (triangles, double tops, Wolfe waves, etc.) are often clearer and more reliable on H2 than on shorter time frames, making decision-making easier. Less stress, better time management: On H2, there's no need to constantly monitor screens. Monitoring every two hours is sufficient, which is ideal for active traders who don't want to be slaves to the market. Statistical relevance: Numerous backtests show that technical signals (such as those from Bollinger Bands) are more robust and less prone to false signals on this intermediate time frame. In summary, the 2-hour time frame is often considered "amazing" because it combines the precision of intraday trading with the reliability of swing trading, thus providing superior signals for most technical strategies, particularly those using Bollinger Bands. To summarize Bollinger Bands measure volatility and help identify overbought/oversold areas or potential reversals. The 2-hour timeframe is highly valued because it filters out market noise while remaining sufficiently responsive, making it particularly useful for technical analysis and trading decision-making.

NASDAQ Potential Bearish Reversal Analysis NASDAQ Potential Bearish Reversal Analysis 🧠🔻 The chart illustrates a potential bearish setup forming after a recent uptrend in NASDAQ. Let's break it down professionally: 🔍 Technical Overview: Ascending Trendline Break ✅ Price had been respecting a steady ascending trendline. A break below this trendline indicates a possible momentum shift from bullish to bearish. Bearish Pattern Formation 🔷 A bearish flag/pennant-like formation can be observed after the sharp rise. This consolidation followed by a breakdown could be a continuation pattern, hinting at further downside. Resistance Rejection 🔴 A red arrow marks a clear rejection from the resistance zone near 22,800 USD. Strong wick rejections and bearish candles suggest selling pressure at that level. Support Turned Resistance (SUPPOT 🛑) The previously broken support zone is now acting as resistance (note: "SUPPOT" appears misspelled—should be "SUPPORT"). Bearish Target Zone 🎯 The chart marks a "TAEGET" zone (should be "TARGET") near the 21,900 – 22,000 USD range. This aligns with prior consolidation and demand zones, making it a likely area for price to retrace. 📌 Key Zones: Resistance (Rejection Area): 22,800 USD Current Price: 22,739.7 USD Bearish Target Zone: 21,900 – 22,000 USD ⚠️ Conclusion: The market shows signs of a bearish reversal with a confirmed trendline break, resistance rejection, and bearish pattern formation. If the price fails to reclaim the 22,800 level, there’s a high probability of downward continuation toward the 22,000 target.

Pullback before next leg up NASDAQ’s looking weak short term. We’ve seen multiple rejections from the highs, an M pattern forming on the daily, and RSI divergence creeping in on the daily — momentum is clearly fading. I already took profit around 21980. And a few small swings between the range since 3rd of June. The rally off the tariff drop was sharp, but it feels mechanical. Bulls look tired here. You can see price is stalling — pushing into the same highs but getting nowhere. Classic signs of distribution. That said, this isn’t the start of a full-blown bear market. The long-term trend remains bullish. AI investment is still piling into the U.S., tech’s still leading globally, and structurally we haven’t broken down yet. Some weakness is starting to show though. But short term, I think we see a pullback. The Fed’s still sitting on the fence with rate cuts, which is creating uncertainty. Add that to the current geopolitical tensions, and there’s enough on the table to justify a temporary risk-off move. If price breaks and closes above 21,860, I’ll reassess and potentially shift back to a bullish bias. Until then, I’m leaning short and letting price action do the talking. My key downside levels: TP1: 21,483 — scale out and protect. TP2: 21,322 — potential bounce from this area. TP3: 21,145 — structure starts to weaken. TP4: 20,894 — bears starting to control and a deeper flush, I’ll reassess bias at this level. SL @ 21850 on my second entry short Short term: pullback likely. Big picture: still bullish — but bulls need to reset before any next leg up.

NAS100 CAUTION - Realistic Perspective!!Dear Friends in Trading, How I see it, This rising channel represents severe overbought greed territory. A very big correction might be around the corner or in the near future. Daily and Weekly RSI Divergence could be forced to re-balance at any time. Keynote: This is not a contradiction of my previous NASDAQ post. Short-Term strong bullish price action can still prevail. But please keep this big picture in mind from here on end. Feel free to ask questions if anything is unclear. I sincerely hope my point of view offers a valued insight. Thank you for taking the time to study my analysis.
