We'll start off this week looking at the NQ Weekly chart. Two straight weeks of pain for bulls, but is there a silver lining? I am personally in the camp that we found some support (will show in depth on the daily) and set the range. From here, since we are currently in a bearish trend, I am looking for a discount retracement back up to the bearish order block, which is around that 14900 area. It is difficult to call tops and bottoms, but from here I think I can justify this bounce with more than just "we're down a lot from the high" See below for more.

DXY puts in a green candle following the previous week's red. Ultimately, I think DXY will reach buyside liquidity at 107.99, but I am not so sure price doesn't retrace first. This is what makes "being bullish" in a bearish trend difficult. I really am not bullish for anything more than a retracement on the indices, but the fact DXY is relatively close to my target makes it even more difficult.

I tweeted it Thursday but I do like the low so far on NQ. Currently in a discount bullish imbalance of the daily range set back from April lows to July Highs and swept 14173 which was a previous daily low. Can I be wrong? Absolutely. Picking tops and bottoms is difficult, but with Friday's gap higher and futures gapping up Sunday night, I can justify this being the mark for a bounce.

Like the others, higher time frame liquidity was swept and has held the bullish imbalance it created on the way up. Long way for bulls to recapture market structure, with the mark being at 422.50. One untouched bearish imbalance at 62% of the range.
