NQ Range (01-06-25)
2025 will get going this week or next. The prior Post called U Turn near the Danger Zone with Friday-Monday rally, which may be extended to 1/13 since markets closed on 1/9. Orange TL is danger zone, shaded are U Turn zones and others are just key levels (KL's). 990 hit & Long U Turn to stall out (next dash white or 22,080). Notice 12/18 & 19, we may see that now on way up and if not, reverse it and NAZ will fall in the DZ. 1st white vertical is Friday close and 2nd is January month end. Looking for NAZ to retest 18,655 should it get in and stay in the DZ. We will need to see some drops in the off session Overnight (never happens) and Not see the Friday-Monday Long play. Unless these breakdown look Long (as they are holding up the NAZ). Should these crack we could see some drop moves like 12/18 & 19th and provide the right shoulder to the H/S. BTD, FOMO, GoFed in 2025.
Nota
Since nobody really knows what any index will actually do and (what, when, where), the NAZ may complete the W with the white arrow or the H/S with yellow arrow.
Trading's 4 key W's, the keys to it all:
#1, What, what is next move Long or Short? Direction of execution.
#2, When, when to execute the What? This happens prior to the move.
#3, Where, this is the Target of #'s 1 & 2?
#4, Why, this is the least important and does not matter. This is the job of all the media, long only managers such mutual funds and ETF's.
Welcome to the Noise, designed to confuse you and muddy up #'s 1-3. When the noise sources get in sync, its to late. Do not wait for them as they do not understand #'s 1-3 and are only structured as Long Only Products. They could not even trade if they knew all the answers.
Nota
Nothing new today with 2nd half of Friday-Monday Long Play doing its thing. 770 is 1st target for test. You have view recent IDS30M post for additional set up/structure for today.
Nota
IDS27 is showing Air Pocket Divergence for O/N Pump/Dump. May happen quick or not at all. You never know but is is there and has been reliable. Coordinate with O/R 1st 15-30 minute volume blast.
Nota
Yellow on 30M, need to see 2nd and NAZ will need to stay under white line which will turn Yellow. Good Luck today.
Nota
NAZ at fork in the road.
Nota
Pump/Dump starting at 15m til Open, Got to 640 and 620 is ML of O/N.
Nota
30M with Yell Tilson signal prior to drop. Use your tools.
Nota
Holiday, Party Free float is over. This week may whipsaw some to set up bigger drop test for next week.Nota
Five hours up and gone in 10 minutes. Quick Drop Test.
Nota
Short at 830 no pass, long above.
Nota
820 retest for short to 700
Nota
865-70 should be limit high or stop level on short.Nota
Hook Short or pop here at 820.
Nota
Add to short and move up stop. Edge trade.
Nota
820-860 is stop clean out for drop or to the moon. Should see drop prior to leg higher.
Nota
Looking for 2 yellows or 940 is next.
Nota
Hours up and minutes down, until hours down and out. 880 is KL to watch here.
Nota
880 add short with stop at 980. Will keep and get stopped, may be early, have points from Long to wash out the hit, if so. Walking away.
Nota
10YN is not in a great spot and may fall through. This may be why the lift may be just another drop offset. 10YN drop will lift yields and crush stocks.
Nota
Buyers need sellers and Sellers need buyers, Whipsaw in action. Batter Up as NAZ heads back inside the range. Should see some very quick drops to get this going here. 2 way trading is back in 2025.Nota
865 is Fib .618 level form U Turn at Danger Zone. Canadian PM is resigning, Barr is stepping down as Fed vice chair. The Noise makers may use to shake things up. Go Fed. Mot of todays pop was in the O/N, not real but may work as BTD is in play inside F-M Long Play. Nota
1 Yellow, slow turn in the Dead Zone. O/N may prop it should it drop by EOD.
Nota
NAZ back inside O/R and may retest 21,780. Under 1 yellow, looking for 2nd.
Nota
Upper yellow zone is expected U Turn Drop Zone should NAZ climb back up. Lower white shaded zones are drop targets. Just watch for head fake Logs this week. NAZ at 21,785, just above 780.
Nota
Closing half Short at 21,785Nota
IDS35 View
Nota
2 yellows on 30M
Nota
715 Hit and O/N lift in jeopardy. O/N is The Boss.
Nota
Oh my, 2 way trading is back. Whaaaat, BTD/FOMO's O/N to the rescue.Nota
NAZ needs to stay under 787 or close into the O/N will Prop it back up prior to next drop.
Nota
IDS50 Air Pocket Divergence call from earlier, why I was going and adding Short during the lift. These are reliable signals. The O/N lift and F-M Long move are 2 moves that I would expect to breakdown in 2025. These are starting to show weakness, been running for years. Watch for counter moves over this month.
Nota
IDS30 Minute day view and you can see that the system did deliver the same result.
Nota
Like Magic, NAZ is above 2 yellows and at 785 after market close and in O/N Session. Why does this heavily concentrated index primarily only lift in off session period??? What is up, am I the only one who sees this? Sneaky weasel riggers, actually very impressive and best trade going. Just hard to buy into. Long O/N, Short Reg Session continues. 1/9 markets close then back to F-M Long weasel play #2.
Nota
Box for Monday O/N breakout and range. The move will need to stay out of the box (from long or Short side). The Box is NTZ and trade an the edges in opposite direction 1st, wait for confirm breakout. May see another drop prior to Thursday (closed markets) and F-M Long play.
Nota
Danger Zone TL, running since 10/22. A break will be significant, over 2 years of tricks and games.
Nota
1/7 Update, O/N Magic Riggers did not bust the NAZ outside of lower Box. Since the Reg Session is next and rarely moves in the up direction, you may think Short today. 680-780 is range to watch now, you did see 1 Long Edge Trade last night. Opposite direction at KL, best use of time these days.
Nota
KL's for the day. Upper yellow zone is Short zone and lower white is Long only on test/retest from above near a KL. Just not expecting much until next week since Thursday Closed market and F-M Long directly after. BTD/FOMO, Go Fed and AI in 2025.
Nota
IDS users, use IDS35 (or 50) for next few days as the Push/Pull whip will need to be smoothed out. 27 or below will produce too many false signals. Nota
IDS35/30M Dual View
Nota
Unless the O/N lifts the NAZ, just a totally different (flat) tone. Box Range for sure in Open Drive with selling showing up at some point today. I would be surprised is NAZ gets above ML of box 780-800 range. Short call yesterday was early by 20 points or an hour or so. The Thursday closure does favor a weak decent Long move. Take profit on short should it approach your entry price. You will get another shot.Nota
Bingo
Nota
650 is Strong Short and Long Scalp on hold. No O/N, No Fed No Rally. Now Dead Zone will try to push up and No DZ, lower we go. Rigged Joke Price Action.
Nota
So far decent 2 way PA this year. Getting back to normal which means selling should return.
Nota
NAZ at the Edge of the Abyss.
Nota
494, 200 & 990 are lower targets and U Turns. Needs to stay under 650.
Nota
Just remember that the only hope would be the Dead Zone Clowns. I think the Circus is leaving town. DZ is after 1st hour to the start of the Final hour.
IDS35 View
Nota
Open Range with 250 point range, this may be played up/down if 1 way freight train does not arrive.Nota
10YN, watch this guy, back later.
Nota
Delayed H/S playing maybe.
Nota
440-20 retest for pop.
Nota
Long scalp above 420, closing Shorts. Regardless.Nota
U Turn back up half of drop or Bust out here under 420.
Nota
Great day and 2 way is back. I had to run out to ER, all good. Timing is a B--ch. Anyway, this may be more drama and theatrics for the potential rally for another retest higher when Thursday (closed) and Friday-Monday Long Play. Stayed above Danger Zone level and should create a slight U Turn for the O/N Long Only Rig Team. Up/Down until next break under Danger Zone or retest.
21,800 Short or continuation Short from Monday's fake rally.
Nota
IDS50, Notice the flow of upward price action vs downward PA. NAZ moves up smoothly (weak & slow, but smooth) over 3 days. Falls reluctantly, jagged, jerky, etc. over 1 day. When shorting you short from white jagged retracement peaks on stall out. Falling PA will usually move in very similar distance on drop and retracement back up.
