Key Insights Summary

The NQ E-mini NASDAQ 100 Futures daily chart shows a market in a corrective phase, with price action currently below key monthly and yearly session fib grid levels, and all major moving averages trending down. The short-term WSFG trend is up, but this is countered by a dominant downtrend in both the intermediate and long-term MSFG and YSFG, as well as swing pivot trends. The most recent swing pivot is a low, with the next potential reversal at a higher pivot, suggesting a possible short-term bounce or consolidation. However, resistance levels remain stacked above, and support is relatively close below, indicating a market that may be in a basing or bottoming process after a sharp sell-off. Volatility remains elevated (ATR 1618), and volume is moderate. Recent trade signals have triggered long entries, reflecting the short-term attempt to reverse, but the broader context remains bearish until key resistance levels are reclaimed and moving averages turn up. The overall environment is one of potential short-term stabilization within a larger corrective or bearish structure.
