NASDAQ 100

Today's MARKET STATE for NASDAQ 100 **NEUTRAL POSITIVE SHIFT**

-Technically the MKT  Key off the R LEVEL sentiment bias level as this is a “tell” to the market’s true intentions.  On the SELL side accept BREAKOUT strategies only if they are in line with the R LEVEL sentiment bias.  The best opportunities will occur early in the session and will maintain negative structure in a steady deterioration or “pisser”.  UP REVERSAL can be profitable as false positive signals are typical in this trade state.  Keep aggressive position management.
- On the BUY side DP and DIR FADE strategies are advisable if they are in line with the R LEVEL bias or after the previous session high point has been violated.  DP REVERSAL strategies are only recommended if the R LEVEL is below the DP.  The idea is that any negative signal is a sign that the transitional trade is over and a shift back into a NEUTRAL DIGESTION is expected.  UP BREAKOUT strategies can be profitable but they are aggressive.  Risk less, go for more.

Today's PRICE MAP Performance for ND





Wrap Up
- Today in the NASDAQ 100 market, the Critical Range proved very effective in defining the expected trading range for the session.  With the R LEVEL at the DP, our market commentary tells us to key off this level and accept BUY DP FADE strategies, which are in-line with our Sentiment Bias.  Around 10:30 the market has a sharp sell off, stabilizing at the DP and allowing traders to execute the BUY DP FADE strategy that we were looking for in today's market state.  This trade worked immediately, building higher move highs and higher move lows throughout the rest of the session until eventually closing the day close to the UP.
