NQ 5-Minute Chart for Thursday

On a daily chart, the trend is still UP.

Looking at the 5-min NQ chart from Monday's Swing Low to Wednesday's Swing High, I can see a very nice and clear 5-wave structure UP.

Once Wave 5 up is complete, I will be looking for a 3-Wave ABC Pattern down to FT Pivot and or .382-.50 retracement Level before resuming the uptrend  Thursday's intraday morning trade will depends on The Opening Price in relation to the Closing Price.

I will present 2 mutually likely scenarios as my trading guideline for the morning trend (as morning prep) prior to the Open.

Scenario No. 1: Assuming NQ opens with a gap-UP. 

  • Short below the Open, Targeting the FT Pivot / .382 / .50 Fibonacci Retracement Level.
  • Long Above the Open, targeting ADR from FT Pivot.


 Scenario No. 2: Assuming NQ opens with a gap-DOWN. 

  • Long above open, Targeting Gap-Close.
  • Short at Gap-Close Targeting FT Pivot / .382 / .50 Fibonacci Retracement Level.
