NQ Range (04-21-25)Sell in May should NAZ float back up or, Buy in May should it drop from here. The Buy in May would be near lower range or 17,000-500. Yellow Zone to left is the 10-15 minute "insider trading" move that was needed to get the NAZ away from the Danger Zone of death. Not much doing since so expect more of the same with tricks, games and O/N magic rides higher. Reg Session seems to still prefer the sell button. Anyway, until we break out of this range (could be weeks or minutes, as we have seen) we are in a range of insignificant noise. NDX Chart below, Diablo is hanging Tough.

Nasdaq (NQM) - Best Time To Buy Nasdaq?After a successful run from September 2022, making more than 110% up to the beginning stages of 2025, Nasdaq has successfully made holders over the past few years richer than those who decided to invest in a random meme coin and what we have been seeing over the past months is a decline close to 30% which is miniscule in the grand scheme of the bull trend.
Could the market continue to trade lower? Possibly but if you learn the skills necessary to hedge your portfolio by shorting the market, its a win win scenario!
WEEKLY ANALYSIS TO HELP YOUR TRADING: Nasdaq, NQ, NAS100A pretty accurate week from my last video analysis if I do say so myself.
This week, I'm anticipating more bullish price action, however, there's also a strong chance for an inside bar which could have price working within last week's trading range. Based on the levels discussed in this video, price has reason to try and close bullish yet again, so I'll be watching price action for entries into longs and managing my risk accordingly.
Happy Trading,
The Meditrader
Is The Nasdaq Bullish? Moving Higher Tomorrow...?In this video, we will analyze the NASDAQ futures for Friday, May 2nd.
Markets are looking tradeable again.
NQ has swept an old high, and retraced today. I like the location of the bullish FVG right below... which price has just tapped into a little while ago.
Look for the reaction from that +FVG, and trade accordingly.
Enjoy!
May profits be upon you.

Bull market Monthly green candleRecap: 1. Weekly RSI 30
2. Weekly bullish engulfing
3. S&P successfully defended oct 2022 trendline
Now: Monthly hammer candle
Next potential scenario: 20500 level could be the neckline/resistance level for a inverse head and shoulder, coinciding with the 20 weekly SMA as of now.
Next probable scenario: Expecting May monthly candle to be a continuation green candle.
Watch out december 2022 trendline acting as resistance
This is how i get the Sunday opening by aligning Narrative& BiasSo here i zoomed in on the 1hour chart and i see that there was a Distribution Range, i took the high to low Premium and Discount quarters, and then i draw the fibs on the most relevant quarter i am aiming to short from aligning with the PD Array,
noticing how theres some BSL there and theres a 1h SIBI FVG aligning with the Daily Volume Imbalance.

This is also a potential Setup to look into Lower time Farme, this weekly candle is a Bullish Order Block, so we don't want to see the 50% Crossed because were in a sell program, therefore 25% is permissible, and we can then break that quadrant down into quarters and wait for price to sweep the weekly Candles Internal Range Liquidity look for imbalance or inefficiency aligning with the sweep and entering inside of the Turtle Soup
Short Nasdaq Idea for First Stage Distribution Looking at the Daily Chart lining up with the Higher time Frame Bearish narrative underway, i like the idea of shorting Sunday Opening because there's no more opportunity to get out of long positions here once price has exhausted Premium PD Arrays. And I am highly considering Sunday High to Friday Closing Bell Low. There's lots of Low Resistance Liquidity beneath PA currently, there's no money in the laymans wallet, there's no reason for price to go up EXCEPT for Redistribution/continued Short Selling.
MNQ Sell Idea 5.2.2025Hey Everyone, Welcome back! I am here posting a trade idea we caught, hopefully our final terminus is hit! But in this video I share with you guys my confluences and bias for this trade.
We took out BSL with the 8:30am open and NFP news. I am targetting 19,829 levels as a potential area of interest because I believe the market will want to trade into it for buying opportunities as I do believe the market is bullish.

2025-05-01 - priceactiontds - daily update - nasdaqGood Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: Way tougher than it looks. Both sides have good arguments why this continues higher or why today marked the top. I have a heavy bearish bias but I confirmation would only be below 19090 and that’s 700 points down. I do think if bears can close the gap down to 19640, we retest 19300 and there we have the first bull trend line. Below we go for 19100, which was the us gdp spike low and below that is armageddon. Bulls have nothing but continuation of this short squeeze. When Apple earnings disappoint, you know things are about to get real ducking bad next.
current market cycle: trading range
key levels: 19000 - 20000
bull case: Bulls got 20000 and even went above the April high, now what? Technically still a lower high until they hit 20537. They have going for them that today was the first bear bar after 7 consecutive bull days. They now want to defend the open gaps to keep the momentum going. A pullback can go way deeper than most bulls will be comfortable with, given the current environment. I do think best bulls can hope for tomorrow, is to go sideways and close the week above 20000.
Invalidation is below 19640.
bear case: Bears have all the macro schmackro arguments on their side that you can try to come up with. Structure says bullish until bull trend lines are broken. First is around 19500 and second is the bigger one around 19000. Can bears get to either tomorrow? I do think so yes. This was a nasty short squeeze but we are right under the weekly 20ema, technically still a lower high because the last major lower high was 20536. On the weekly chart this is a textbook two-legged pullback to the moving average and I pray daily that we will get another huge leg down to 15000. How likely is that? For now, very unlikely. Still it would be more fun if the bull trend line from the covid lows would break and we transition into a trading range 15000 - 22000.
Invalidation is above 20140.
short term: Neutral. For tomorrow I can see 20100 not getting hit again and we sell-off. If markets stays above 19700, bulls remain in full control. full bear mode below 19640. Above 20140 we likely go for 20500+.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-04-20: My most bearish target for 2025 was 17500ish, given in my year-end special. We are +18% from the lows and I do think, once this turns again, it will easily be the short trade of the year.
trade of the day: Longs near 1h 20ema. Was profitable couple of times. Sell-off into close was insider-trading. Absolutely certain that the earnings were leaked.
NQ: 182nd trading session - recapBlew my funded eval - on purpose
I've made some bad decisions a few weeks ago landing me at -$1000 - so I just said f*ck it it's either pay a bit to be breakeven or just be breakeven with a high contract trade.
I'll buy my funded back and start from scratch - with a plan now in mind
Nasdaq-100 Goes Back to 'PRE-PAIN' 20 000 Level. Series IIApril has gone..
Wow.. Duh..!? ..really? ... or still not!?
Briefly a month ago or so, we have examined at our wonderful @PandorraResearch Team what is 'Revenge Trading', watch our recent 'Educational' idea right here (if you missed one), to learn what sort of lessons we should know about it.
Indeed, it was a really bad story, to purchase in late March 2025 most-hyped so-known Mag Seven stock that came flagships of the recent stock market collapse.
First of all, watch how it's been below (late March 2025) 👇👇
What's happened next just in a week or two since our publications has been made?
⚒ Russell 2000 Index TVC:RUT 95% stocks were: DOWN
⚒ S&P500 Index SP:SPX 96% stocks were: DOWN
⚒ Nasdaq-100 NASDAQ:NDX as well as Dow Jones Industrial Averages DJIA indices: 97% stocks were DOWN
⚒ Magnificent Seven: ALL STOCKS WERE DOWN
Since Nasdaq-100 went back to pre-pain 20'000 Level, lets repeat some lessons.
Revenge trading is DANGEROUS AND HARMFUL pracrice where traders, after suffering a loss, attempt to immediately recoup their losses by making impulsive, emotionally-driven trades. This behavior is widely recognized as one of the major reasons traders lose significant amounts of money and often blow up their accounts.
Why Revenge Trading Is Bad
1. Emotional Decision-Making Replaces Strategy
When traders engage in revenge trading, they abandon their carefully crafted trading strategies and risk management rules. Instead, trades are made based on anger, frustration, or the desire to "get back" at the market. This emotional state clouds judgment, leading to irrational decisions such as increasing position sizes recklessly, disregarding stop-loss orders, or chasing trades without proper analysis. As a result, the likelihood of making successful trades plummets.
2. Escalating Losses and Account Blowups
The urge to recover losses quickly often leads traders to double down or over-leverage their positions, exposing a large portion of their capital to additional risk. Statistically, 80% of revenge trading ends disastrously, with only a small fraction experiencing temporary success before ultimately facing larger losses. This cycle of chasing losses can rapidly erode trading capital, making recovery increasingly difficult.
3. Psychological Burnout and Stress
Revenge trading is mentally and emotionally exhausting. The constant cycle of loss and frantic attempts to recover can lead to stress, depression, and burnout. This further impairs decision-making, creating a vicious cycle of poor performance and deteriorating mental health.
4. Long-Term Damage to Trading Habits
Repeatedly succumbing to revenge trading ingrains bad habits, making it difficult for traders to maintain discipline and consistency in the long run. This lack of consistency undermines the potential for sustainable profitability and can end trading careers prematurely.
Recent Real-World Examples
Recent years have seen numerous cautionary tales illustrating the dangers of revenge trading (all links are from r/wallstreetbets subreddit for learing/ educational purposes only):
$40,000 Lost on NVDA Options (2024). A trader repeatedly doubled down on Nvidia (NVDA) put options during its price rally in mid-2024. Despite initial small wins, the trader, driven by the urge to recover losses, continued to increase his position size, ultimately losing over $40,000.
$26,000 Lost in 20 Minutes on SPX. A Reddit user reported losing $26,000 in about 20 minutes trading the S&P 500 index (SPX) after prices dropped sharply. The loss was the result of impulsive trades made in an attempt to quickly recover from earlier setbacks.
From $27,000 to $0 in Three Days. Another trader turned $500 into $27,000 in just a few days, only to lose it all within 48 hours after a market reversal. Instead of taking profits or stepping back, the trader kept chasing losses with increasingly risky trades, ending up with nothing.
$100,000 Loss on a Yen Carry Trade. A trader, influenced by news of geopolitical tensions, made a large leveraged bet on the yen. After an initial loss, he refused to cut his losses and doubled down, ultimately losing $100,000 instead of accepting a smaller $30,000 hit.
More juicy stories are to be collected...
These stories are not isolated incidents. They are echoed across trading forums and social media, serving as stark warnings of how quickly revenge trading can destroy even substantial gains.
Conclusion
Revenge trading is DANGEROUS AND HARMFUL because it replaces rational, strategic decision-making with emotional reactions, leading to escalating financial losses, psychological distress, and long-term damage to trading discipline. The real-world examples from the past year underscore that no trader-regardless of experience-is immune to its risks. The best defense is to recognize the urge, step away, and return only with a clear, objective mindset and a disciplined strategy.
