July 28 — NQ No-Short Zone, Building For Higher

Price is sitting inside stacked HTF bullish FVGs — Monthly and Weekly at the same time.That's a no-short area for me, and enough confluence to look for longs right here. I want the Long Term Low to complete, then price to take the Lot of Liquidity above and create a CISD — and from there I'm expecting the reach toward the ATHs. If it just grinds lower instead, I'm out. Posted before the open, judged after.

NQ 1M — Monthly — Tapped The Monthly Bullish FVG

Start at the very top. Price has tapped into a Monthly Bullish FVG — in theory that should support us higher. This is the first reason I'm not interested in shorts: it's dangerous to short into a monthly bullish array without supporting arrays on the Daily/Weekly, and right now those line up bullish too.

NQ 1W — Weekly — Also Inside A Weekly Bullish FVG

One timeframe down, same story. Price just tapped into a Weekly Bullish FVG. For me that makes this a NO SHORT area — I'm now stacked inside two HTF bullish gaps at once. That's the confluence that lets me look for longs here instead of waiting.

NQ 1D — Daily — Delivered From The Daily SIBI

Price was being delivered from a Daily SIBI, which is what justified the shorts on Monday. But that delivery has now dropped price straight into the HTF bullish FVGs above. The short did its job; now we're at the level where the other side sets up.

NQ 4H — 4H — Expecting The Long Term Low

This is where the plan forms. I'm expecting a Long Term Low to print down in the Weekly BISI area. Above sits the Daily SIBI and a lot of resting liquidity. The path: form the low, take the Lot of Liquidity, then a closure that creates the CISD — and from there I'm looking for the reach higher.

NQ 1H — 1H — Intermediate Term Low Already In

On the 1H we already have an Intermediate Term Low. The draws above are the Asia and London Killzone Highs; below sits the London Killzone Lows and the Weekly BISI. I want price to hold this structure, take the liquidity above, and confirm the shift up.
