NQ Daily Trade Plan โ 2026-09-09
๐ Weekly Review The last plan was posted Friday Aug 28 for Monday's session. Overnight into Monday, NQ made a high exactly at the Pivot Bull zone (29526โ29550), which rejected price hard and set the tone for the week. From that rejection, Monday sold all day through every support level โ the Bear Pivot at 29226โ29250 broke cleanly and price reached the 29000 counter-trend long level. That level produced a high-quality short beneath bounce setup earlier in the session, delivering 200+ points to the downside, and then finalized with a clean FBD at 29000 โ exactly where we had a long trade idea โ from where price bounced sharply. Tuesday extended the selling to a week low of 28928 before a clean FBD launched the recovery. Wednesday overnight price consolidated around the Bear Pivot. Thursday's NY session was the key turning point: the Bear Pivot was accepted with strength, the Pivot Bull at 29526โ29550 was reclaimed, and NQ rallied to a week high of 29719โ29720 โ delivering multiple long opportunities along the way at our key levels. Thursday's session left singles between 29380 and 29469. Since the Pivot Bull reclaim on Sep 3, NQ has been consolidating in a 4-session range with the Pivot Bull (29526โ29550) as support and the 29660โ29720 cluster as resistance. Today's session confirmed the structure: low at 29426 (exact FBD level, quick recovery to VAH 29603), VAL 29522, POC 29583, VAH 29637. Price closed near the Pivot Bull. All levels remain valid. ๐ง Current Context NQ is consolidating between the Pivot Bull zone (29526โ29550) and the 29660โ29720 resistance cluster. The Pivot Bull has been support since Sep 3 โ every dip into it has been bought. The 4-session range is narrowing. Below, the 29426 FBD level proved itself again today. The singles from Sep 3 between 29380โ29469 are partially filled (today's low: 29426) but the lower end near 29380 remains open. Bulls hold the structure as long as the Pivot Bull at 29526โ29550 holds. Bears need to break 29426 and accept below it to begin any real pressure toward the Bear Pivot at 29226โ29250. ๐ Short-Term Structure NQ is at 29523, holding just at the Pivot Bull zone (29526โ29550). This zone is support. Immediate resistance: 29583 (wPOC), then 29637 (VAH), 29662, and 29719โ29720 (week high). Strength confirmed above 29762. On the downside: 29426 is the first structural support โ proven today โ then 29272 and the Bear Pivot at 29226โ29250 where weakness is confirmed below 29100. The open singles between 29380โ29469 remain a magnet on any deeper pullback. ๐ข Bullish Strategy Bulls need to hold the Pivot Bull zone at 29526โ29550. A bounce and acceptance above 29550 targets the wPOC at 29583, then the VAH at 29637 and 29662. A break above 29662 and hold opens the path toward the week high at 29719โ29720 and then 29762. Strength confirmed above 29762. If price dips below 29526 before recovering, 29426 is the primary FBD setup โ the fastest recovery of 29526 from below is the highest conviction long entry. The singles between 29380โ29469 offer a potential sweep target before any recovery, with the lower singles near 29380 acting as a magnet if 29426 gives way. Below the singles zone, 29272 and the Bear Pivot at 29226โ29250 offer deeper FBD opportunities. โ Bearish Strategy Bears need acceptance below the Pivot Bull at 29526โ29550 to shift control. A SBB is active at 29372 โ if price breaks below 29426, bounces in the singles zone (29380โ29469) and fails to recover, shorting beneath 29372 targets 29272 and the Bear Pivot at 29226โ29250. A clean break and acceptance below 29426 opens 29272 and the Bear Pivot at 29226โ29250. Weakness confirmed below 29100. Counter-trend shorts on any extended rally can target 29662, 29719โ29720, and 29762. โ Summary NQ has been consolidating in a 4-session range between the Pivot Bull (29526โ29550) as support and 29660โ29720 as resistance since reclaiming the Pivot Bull on Sep 3. Tomorrow's key setups: hold of Pivot Bull and acceptance above 29550 for continuation toward 29637 and 29662, or breakdown of 29426 for a sweep of the open singles near 29380 and pressure toward 29272. Strength confirmed above 29762. Weakness confirmed below 29100. Key bull trigger: acceptance above 29550. Key bear trigger: acceptance below 29426.
