Pre-Market Bias

August 10 — NQ Bullish After The Sweep

The stack is bullish — weekly and daily are drawing toward ATH with clear buyside resting above. The daily left a protected low on its bullish FVG, backed by SMT with ES. Right now, price is taking out the Asia Low inside a 1H bullish FVG — a manipulation lower to grab sellside first. The play: let the low get swept, hold the FVG, and deliver up toward the Midnight / London highs and the EQH / BSL ~30,100. Posted before the open, judged after.

NQ 1W — Weekly — Clear Draws On Liquidity Above

Top of the stack is bullish and the label says it: as of right now there are clear draws on liquidity above us. Price is working back up out of the deep Monthly BISI (the big bullish array below) toward the ATH, with the EQH / BSL resting overhead as buyside. The highest timeframe is pointed up — nothing here argues against higher.

NQ 1D — Daily — Bullish Reaction Off The FVG, Protected Low

This is the engine of the bias. Price put in a bullish reaction from the Daily bullish FVG (the Daily BISI ~29,250) and left a protected low behind it — SMT with ES confirms. That protected low is the floor; the draw is the EQH / BSL near 30,000, and above that, the ATH. As long as the protected low holds, the base case is continuation into the buyside.

NQ 1H — 1H — Sweep The Asia Low Inside The Bullish FVG, Then Up

Here's the execution read. Price is taking out the Asia Low (AS.L) while sitting inside a 1H bullish FVG — a manipulation lower to grab sellside before delivering higher. Stacked above as the draw: the Midnight open, the London Session highs, and ultimately the EQH / BSL ~30,100. The play is to let that low get swept, hold the FVG, and react up through the highs.

The One Thing To Respect

The HTF is clean bullish, so the lean is up. But today is a manipulation-first read — the trade isn't the sweep, it's the reaction after the sweep. I want to see the Asia Low taken and then price hold and react up out of the 1H bullish FVG.If it just keeps trading down through the FVG with no reaction, the protected low is in question and I stand aside. Sweep, hold, react — then target the Midnight / London highs into the EQH. Don't front-run the low.
