TP1 hit @ 29,775, moving SL to 29,730 🏂
NQ Pre-Market Plan | Tue 10/27/2026 | 5:30 AM CST
ICT + Japanese candlestick confirmation only. Trade the level, not the narrative.
Macro :
NQ holding near 29,450–29,470 after tagging the 29,000 zone multiple times (major support / draw on liquidity).
NDX closed Monday ~29,273 (+1.1%). Higher-timeframe still bearish with lower highs off the early-October ATH area near 31,600.
Fed funds futures and prediction markets price ~90–93% odds of a hold Wednesday (target remains 3.75–4.00%). A December hike is still the base case. Oil mixed-to-soft on Iran diplomacy headlines (Brent ~$111–116, WTI ~$101–102).
Today (CST): Durable Goods 7:30 AM · Consumer Confidence / housing data mid-morning.
This week (CST):
• Wed 1:00 PM FOMC decision · 1:30 PM Warsh press conference · MSFT + GOOGL after close
• Thu 7:30 AM Q3 GDP + Core PCE · AMZN after close
Expect chop until the statement. Historically clean tape is rare the day of / day before; binary move more likely after the catalyst.
ICT Framework
HTF: Bearish. Lower highs intact. 29,000 zone has acted as major support / liquidity draw / multi-bottom over recent sessions (not a confirmed bottom).
Newfound support: 29,300 (held on London retest after NY session cleared it).
Structure notes: Cup-and-handle developing on 4H, mirrored on 1H. Charted SMT vs ES near 29,575 adds potential confirmation if the handle completes with a small retrace. 15m SMT between yesterday’s session and overnight around 29,410.
Dealing range reference: Recent swing high near 29,600 → lows around 29,000–29,025. Price is probing discount after the support test.
Liquidity:
• SSL: 29,000 zone (multiple tests / resting sell-side)
• BSL: 29,410–29,575 SMT zone, then 29,775 area and higher
Time windows: NY AM Killzone 6:00–9:00 AM CT · Cash open 8:30 · Silver Bullet 9:00–10:00.
Model: Power of Three / Judas possible into the open given FOMC positioning. Watching for sweep of either side of the overnight range before directional intent.
Levels of the Day: 29,300 (new support) · 29,410–29,575 (SMT / structure) · 29,000 (major SSL)
Bullish — Setup A: Cup-and-Handle Confirmation + SMT Hold
Price holds above the 15m SMT (~29,410) and 29,300 support. Small retrace into the handle completes, then displacement higher.
5-min close and acceptance above the handle high / 29,575 SMT zone.
Displacement leaves a bullish FVG.
5-min MSS → BOS to the upside.
Entry: Pullback into the FVG/IFVG in the OTE (62–79%).
Candle confirm: hammer / pin bar, bullish engulfing, or morning star.
Targets: TP1 29,775 → TP2 30,300.
Invalidation: 5-min close below 29,300 or failed hold of the SMT.
Bullish — Setup B: Sweep & Reclaim at 29,300
Price wicks below 29,300 (run short-term sell-side / Judas) then reclaims.
5-min close back above 29,300.
Displacement leaves a bullish FVG; prior bearish gap flips to support (bullish IFVG).
5-min MSS → BOS to the upside.
Entry: Pullback into the FVG/IFVG in the OTE.
Candle confirm: hammer / pin bar or bullish engulfing.
Targets: TP1 29,575 (SMT) → TP2 29,775 → TP3 30,300 (runner).
Invalidation: 5-min close below the sweep low.
Bearish — Setup A: Failure Under Recent SMT + Bad Catalyst
Price fails to hold the 15m SMT (~29,410) and loses 29,300. Full-bodied close below the SMT zone.
Displacement leaves a bearish FVG.
Retest of the SMT / 29,300 from below (old support → resistance).
5-min MSS → BOS to the downside.
Entry: Retest into the bearish FVG/IFVG in the OTE.
Candle confirm: shooting star, bearish engulfing, or evening star.
Targets: TP1 29,000 → TP2 28,700 → TP3 28,000 (extended / runner).
Invalidation: 5-min close back above the SMT high.
Bearish — Setup B: BSL Raid & Reversal at 29,575
Price wicks above the 29,575 SMT (run buy-side / Judas) then rejects.
5-min close back below 29,575.
Displacement leaves a bearish FVG.
5-min MSS → BOS to the downside.
Entry: Pullback into the bearish FVG/IFVG in the OTE.
Candle confirm: shooting star or bearish engulfing.
Targets: TP1 29,300 → TP2 29,000 → TP3 28,700.
Invalidation: 5-min close above the raid high.
No Trade If :
Dojis stacking inside the overnight range, price chopping between 29,300–29,575 with no displacement, or no clean setup inside the killzone / Silver Bullet.
Sitting out is a position.
Pre-FOMC chop is the base case until the statement.
Risk :
FOMC week. Durable Goods and other data this morning can create noise, but the real binary is Wednesday’s statement + presser + mega-cap earnings. Reduced size, A+ only. No confirmation = no trade. Cup-and-handle and SMT are confluence, not standalone entries.
Not financial advice. Personal trading journal.
@JTradesQuant Agreed, today will be interesting
NQ Pre-Market Plan | Mon 10/26/2026 | 5:25 AM CST
ICT + Japanese candlestick confirmation only. Trade the level, not the narrative.
Macro
Futures green to open FOMC week. Trump ruled out an immediate strike on Iran, cooling oil (Brent ~$114, -2% · WTI ~$101). Nasdaq Composite -0.7% last week after Thursday’s AI-capex rout; Friday closed lower.
Fed funds futures price ~90% odds of a hold Wednesday (3.75–4.00%). A December hike is still being priced. The AI spending story gets tested this week: MSFT + GOOGL Wed, AMZN Thu.
Today: No major US data. Cleaner tape, but expect pre-FOMC positioning.
This week (CT):
• Tue 7:30 AM Durable Goods · 9:00 AM Consumer Confidence
• Wed 1:00 PM FOMC decision · 1:30 PM Warsh press conference · MSFT + GOOGL after close
• Thu 7:30 AM Q3 GDP + Core PCE + Jobless Claims · AMZN + INTC after close

HTF: Bearish. Lower highs since the 10/6 ATH. 29,050 has now held as support multiple times.
Dealing range: 29,983 (10/19 high) → ~29,023 (Fri low). Equilibrium ≈ 29,503. Price is in discount — longs require confirmed sweep + reclaim.

• BSL: Session high ~29,250, then 29,900 (10/20 high) and 29,983
Time windows: NY AM Killzone 6:00–9:00 AM CT · Cash open 8:30 · Silver Bullet 9:00–10:00.
Model: Power of Three. Asia + London = accumulation (29,050–29,250 range). Watching for a Judas swing at the open, on either side of the range, before the real move.

Sitting out is a position.
Risk :
FOMC week. No data today, but positioning ahead of the Fed and mega-cap earnings can produce fake breaks of the overnight range. Reduced size, A+ only. No confirmation = no trade.
Not financial advice. Personal trading journal.
TP1 & TP2 hit 🏂
TP1 hit at 29,300.
Moving stop to 29,215 (just under the recent SMT / multi-bottom around 29,220 that is now acting as support).
Letting the runner work toward equilibrium / next targets per the plan 🏂

Curious which open model eventually surpasses both Anthropic and OpenAI.
Something tells me a Type I civilization on the Kardashev Scale won’t look like governments deciding which intelligence models people are allowed to use. Our institutions evolved for the industrial age—not the age of superintelligence.
The AI that truly changes civilization won’t just be the most powerful. It’ll be the most trustworthy. The one that makes truth harder to suppress and transparency harder to manipulate. Not built for the gain of a select few, but for humanity as a whole.
We’re still a very primitive civilization. History will probably look back on this era as the beginning, not the destination. Excited to see the destination if powers at be even allow it. If not, we bottleneck ourselves as a species. I’m on the optimistic side but a realist too
If you think SpaceX is a rocket company with an internet business, you're basically valuing Amazon on book sales in 2005.
Folllow the data, not the news. The data shows us extraordinary progress. The news is dystopian. If it bleeds, it leads.
If computing continues shrinking toward cell-sized architectures, robotics may stop looking like machines and start looking like organisms.
Humans don’t run on batteries, wires, and cooling systems. We have a bloodstream that distributes energy, regulates temperature, carries information, removes waste, and helps repair damage.
So what happens when robots have billions of distributed AI processors throughout their bodies?
They may need a technological equivalent of blood (a circulating fluid) that transports energy, cools systems, carries signals, and perhaps even enables self-repair.
At some point, the future of robotics may not be about building better machines. It may be about building artificial organisms.
The most advanced robots of the future might have synthetic muscles, artificial veins, self-healing materials, and cell-sized computers woven throughout their entire structure.
The line between technology and biology could become much thinner than most people realize.

Mobility is at a premium if you want to serve the singularity
Everything a person wants in life exists on the other side of resistance. Most people encounter that resistance—the ‘speed bump’—and stop. Sometimes they try once, fail, and never attempt it again.
Instead, they settle into what’s familiar, even if that familiarity is unfulfilling. Comfort becomes the trap.
The reality is, most won’t push past that point. Not because they can’t—but because they won’t.
But the few who choose discipline over comfort, who keep going when it’s inconvenient, uncertain, and difficult—those are the ones who separate themselves.
Harder paths don’t guarantee success, but they create the conditions for it. And over time, those willing to be shaped, challenged, and refined are the ones who build something greater—and become someone greater in the process.

America is about to build the next generation of nuclear reactors.
Most people have no idea where they should go.
I built an interactive SMR Site Finder that scores the best locations in the U.S.
33 sites analyzed.
7 confirmed projects.
17 retiring coal plants.
Here’s what the data says 🧵⚛️
