For the Bulls out there, the last couple of weeks have been pretty difficult…I've been looking at a long-term charts and I think were just getting started headed to the downside… Buying the Dips isn't going to work in this evolving market, you have to start thinking about selling the Rips…

Taking a look at the 10 year Monthly chart of /NQ, there are couple things that I will point out to support my assertion that we are headed lower…

1. In terms of Price Action, Price has sold off down to the Mean of the Channel (Green line) where it found some support...Since then it has bounced a little bit, but it's weak…

2. The Average Buying and Selling Volume Pressure shows the decrease in the buying pressure (Green line) while Price continued to move higher… In my estimation, this amounts to volume divergence… Meanwhile the selling pressure continues to move at a slower rate ever so higher, but we haven't hit the selloff phase yet…Like Death and Taxes, it's coming…The media is already starting talking about the potential Recession somewhere ahead…

3. Momentum is showing the fast line (Red line) breaking away to the downside and the slow line (Green line) is starting to head in that direction as well…

4. The last indicator is what I call the "MultiView"… As you can see it's in agreement with the Momentum indicator… Overall, given what the indicators are displaying, I believe we are already in a corrective phase… It just remains to be seen how much of a correction it will turn out to be…

In addition to taking a look at the indicators, I've taken some time to plot out a couple of Fibonacci projections, in order to get a better handle on where the support and resistance zones could be… First up is the Fibonacci extension…

Next is the Fibonacci retracement…

If you've read up to this point, thanks for taking the time out to do so… I'm hoping you found this informative…

What do you think? I'd like to know…

Good Luck and Good Trading :cool:

1. The big green bar on the bottom represents support… Price sold off twice to that area, establishing a double-bottom and laid the foundation for a significant move higher…

2. The Sunday night opening gapped up significantly… The yellow bar represents the gap… Price will either retrace back and attempt to fill that gap or we have the beginnings of a naked virgin point of control (POC)…

The big red bar overhead represents resistance… Price rallied twice to that area, establishing a double-top… The red bar has since turned to green representing the former resistance now becoming support with Price breaking out today…

3. Price has rallied significantly into the Value Area of today's Volume Profile… The volume distribution looks a little top-heavy… Price may have gotten ahead of itself a little bit… As it is getting late in the day, I would expect there to be some profit-taking and, as a result, I don't see Price moving too much higher…

If you read this far, thanks for stopping by… If you think you might be interested, I'm going to attempt to create daily posts focusing on /MNQ using order flow (Volume Profile) and maybe the occasional trendline and/or Fibonacci projection…

Good Luck and Good Trading :cool:

Thank you !
 
Since I've stated I will be focusing on Volume Profile as the main thrust of my analysis, I've done some research to provide basic information to those of you whom might be new to Volume Profile...Below is a quote from Trader Dale regarding what the shape of the Volume Profile can tell you about current conditions of the market you're trading...
A Volume Profile forms different shapes based on how volumes are distributed throughout the day. These shapes can tell us a lot about market sentiment and trading opportunities. There are four basic shapes: the D-shaped profile, the P-shaped profile, the B-shaped profile, and the thin profile. Each shape reveals key information about the market, and I’ll show you how to trade each one effectively.

For example, the D-shaped profile typically indicates balance in the market, often forming during periods of rotation. The B-shaped profile indicates strong sellers and is associated with downtrends. The P-shaped profile suggests strong buyers and is often found in uptrends. Lastly, the thin profile indicates a strong, one-sided trend with minimal pullbacks, often initiated by macro news.

1. With Sunday night's opening gap up and subsequent price action, it looks like we have the beginnings of a naked virgin point of control (NV-POC)…Stay tuned...

2. Although Price has rallied away from the previous Resistance now Support zone, I maintain that there is the probability that Price will retrace to the zone as it returns to clear up the outstanding Gap/NV-POC...

3. Well...last time I mentioned the potential incorporation of trendlines and/or Fibonacci projections and, as luck would have it, today's Chart has a Fibonacci Extension applied highlighting significant areas of support, resistance and confluence in conjunction with the Volume Profile...

In addition to the five minute perspective above, I thought today would be a good day to add another chart to the mix...Below please find a three month daily providing additional clues as to where things might be headed via a zoomed-out perspective...

1. In terms of Price Action, Price has rallied to just shy of the 233 EMA where I believe it will find some resistance...Ultimately, Price could rally up to the top line of the Channel, where I believe it will make a lower high and will sell off significantly…Finally, the yellow block indicates Sunday night's opening gap up...

2. The Average Buying and Selling Volume Pressure shows the substantial decrease in the selling pressure (Red line) and Price continues to move higher… Meanwhile the buying pressure (Green line) continues to move at a consistent rate ever so higher...Over the last three days, the Volume histogram highlights the
fact that the Buyers are firmly in control, as the Sellers are almost non-existent...

3. Momentum is showing the fast line (Red line) crossing the zero line, as it continues to accelerate to the upside and the slow line (Green line) is heading in that direction as well…

4. As you can see, the "MultiView" is in agreement with the Momentum indicator… Overall, despite what the indicators are displaying, I still believe we are in a corrective phase… It just remains to be seen how much of a correction it will turn out to be…

If you read this far, thanks for stopping by… If you think you might be interested, feel free to stop back as I plan on continuing to focus on /MNQ using order flow (Volume Profile)...
