NAS100USD: Bearish Continuation Likely After Liquidity GrabGreetings Traders!
As we transition into the New York session, increased market volatility is expected. Currently, NAS100USD is showing signs of potential further bearish continuation. This outlook is supported by a draw on liquidity toward downside liquidity pools and a notable inefficiency—an unfilled gap left earlier in the week.
Key Observations:
1. Unfilled Gap – A Draw on Liquidity:
The market has left behind an inefficiency in the form of a price gap, which typically acts as a magnet for price. Although such inefficiencies are not always filled immediately, they often become targets for future price movement as the market seeks balance.
2. Reclaimed Order Block Breach – Engineered Liquidity:
Price has recently broken below a reclaimed order block that was serving as a temporary resistance zone. This indicates that the market was hunting for liquidity at a relatively premium price—above a key resistance level. The presence of relatively equal highs in this area further supports the notion that this was an engineered liquidity zone.
Engineered liquidity refers to zones designed by smart money to entice retail participation. Once sufficient liquidity is gathered, institutions then drive price through these zones to execute large sell orders at a premium.
3. Downside Targets – Liquidity Pools and Gaps:
With resistance now confirmed as engineered liquidity, smart money is likely to shift focus to the downside. Key targets include liquidity pools at lower price levels and the aforementioned inefficiency, which represents an area of fair value—ideal for profit-taking and potential continuation of institutional selling.
Trading Strategy:
Monitor price for confirmation within any short-term retracements. Selling opportunities aligned with institutional intent may present themselves as price gravitates toward the inefficiency and deeper liquidity zones.
Stay focused, remain patient, and ensure all trades align with your trading plan.
Kind Regards,
The Architect

NAS100USD: Reclaimed Order Block Signals Further DownsideGreetings Traders!
In today’s analysis of NAS100USD, we observe a momentary shift into bearish institutional order flow, confirmed by the formation of successive lower lows. This structural development signals the potential for continued downside movement.
Key Observations:
Bearish Institutional Order Flow:
The consistent break of lows supports a bearish bias, providing a framework for seeking short opportunities in alignment with institutional intent.
Confluent Bearish Arrays:
Key bearish arrays—including the mitigation block and a reclaimed order block—are currently aligned. These zones, if respected, could serve as strong resistance and provide high-probability entry areas for short positions.
Trading Strategy:
Should price retrace into these arrays and provide confirmation, we can look to enter sell positions with the expectation of further downside aligned with the prevailing order flow.
Stay disciplined, remain patient, and trade only with confirmation.

👌 The Market Has Spoken – Are You Ready to Strike?
Downtrend looks to be continuing with a new lower highAre we targeting a new lower low? Time will tell, but with every passing day the true nature of a sitting president full of hot air comes to light. The words that are spewed will have less and less gravity on the markets until his words are put out onto deaf ears and the markets can get back to a functioning state. When you hear a liar speak the first time you don't know the words are lies, but eventually you just stop listening to the nonsense because it all seems like lies after. Either way the words hold little punch. Shock and Shock is the ploy, I guess? I'm not shocked any longer and maybe the markets will get it too eventually.

Correction and Before a Push The US 100 shows an ascending triangle pattern that has not yet reached its projected high.
Context of the Ascending Triangle:
The price has formed an ascending triangle with an ascending support line (lower blue line) from point 1 to point 2.
Horizontal resistance is at 18,842.3 (point 3), and the price has not broken this level in a sustained manner or reached 18,979.0, as incorrectly indicated earlier.
Currently, the price is at 18,861.3, but for this scenario, we will assume it is retracing from a level close to resistance without having reached 18,979.0.
Correction to 18,670:
The price could retrace toward the key support at 18,671.7 (near point 2), which coincides with the triangle's ascending trend line.
This level has previously been solid support, making it a likely point for a rebound.
Rebound to 18,980:
From 18,670, the price could initiate an upward movement toward 18,980, a level projected as a target after breaking the triangle's resistance at 18,842.3.
This target is calculated by measuring the height of the triangle and projecting it from the breakout point.
Volume:
Volume shows a peak in previous upward movements, but has decreased in the current pullback, which is typical in a correction.
An increase in volume near 18,670 could confirm the entry of buyers for the rebound.
Trading Strategy:
Entry: Buy at 18,670 after confirming a rebound (e.g., a bullish candle with increasing volume).
Stop Loss: Place a stop loss below 18,600 to protect against a bearish breakout.
Take Profit: Target 18,980.
Risk: If the price falls below 18,600, the bullish scenario could be invalidated, targeting lower levels such as 18,500.
TradingView Idea:
US 100 (15M) - Correction to 18,670 before rising to 18,980.
Direction: Bullish after correction.
Entry: 18,670 (after confirming a rebound).
Stop Loss: 18,600.
Take Profit: 18,980.
Risk/Reward Ratio: Approximately 3:1.
NSDQ100 INTRADAY resistance retest U.S. futures rose and the dollar strengthened after Donald Trump eased concerns that had been weighing on markets. He stated he has no plans to fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell, despite ongoing frustrations over interest rates. While this helped calm nerves, Bloomberg's John Authers cautions against viewing it as a major shift in sentiment.
Trump also struck a more conciliatory tone on China, saying he intends to be “very nice” in trade talks and suggested tariffs could be lowered if a deal is reached—indicating a possible softening of his approach toward Beijing.

NAS100USD: Will Price Fill the Gap?Greetings Traders!
In today’s analysis of NAS100USD, we observe that the market is currently operating within a broader bullish institutional order flow. However, recent price action has left behind an inefficiency—a gap that may serve as a short-term draw on liquidity.
KEY OBSERVATIONS:
1. Gap in Price – Inefficiency Identified:
Price has created an imbalance that is yet to be filled. Typically, such inefficiencies act as magnets for price, drawing it back before resuming its primary trend. In this case, the gap may be partially filled as the market seeks equilibrium.
2. Draw on Liquidity – Last Point of Efficiency:
The last point of efficiency below current price levels may serve as the draw on liquidity. This level could attract price action as institutions look to rebalance orders and facilitate continuation.
3. Active Order Block – Potential Entry Zone:
Price is currently testing a bearish order block. Upon confirmation, this area may offer a short-term selling opportunity with the objective of targeting the liquidity pool and the inefficiency below.
TRADING PLAN:
Entry Consideration:
Look for bearish confirmation within the current order block zone before entering. The goal is to trade the short-term retracement within a bullish environment.
Profit Targets:
Target the liquidity pool and the unfilled gap near the last point of efficiency as short-term objectives.
Remain diligent, patient, and aligned with your trading plan. Always conduct your own analysis to ensure any setup is in harmony with your strategy and risk tolerance.
Kind Regards,
The Architect
