QQQQ Merge

Recommended Posts

The attached is a QQQQ composite (merge) back to 5/9 that shows three distinct high volume nodes (POCs - red lines). The blue lines approximate value around each POC. Today QQQQ tested the upper POC and reversed, closing above the high of the composite.

Thanks...just making me want to get into MP some more. I only know the bare basics and have no platform for it yet either. :(

I separated out Friday's action and split today's. With the selling conviction down through the POC and lows of the composite Friday I'd be looking for a place to short today. The high volume node from Friday seems like a logical location for resistance.

 

There was a spike also and I'd be interested in seeing whether or not price accepts or rejects this region.

OK, I think I am following... any chance you could annotate this on your chart in terms of what 'nodes' you are looking at and why? Forgive me as I haven't used delta much before, but curious on how this is used in real time.

 

Thanks!

I watch the TPOs and volume nodes for potential S/R, to provide the market structure and then utilize other techniques to decide if they are good locations, such as Wyckoff, VSA, breadth, Delta.

 

I don't daytrade (yet) but will use this information in an attempt to optimize the EOD trades, sometimes taking positions intraday.

That's a foreign language to me. :roll eyes:

 

Some of us learn by pictures. So if you have time, annotating and illustrating the screenshots would be great!

 

Thanks again.

I just realized I didn't include the attachment in my of the posts. The first one shows Friday separated out and today split. The high volume area (node) would have been a place to look for resistance during the B and/or E periods today.

 

Looking at the other chart I've pointed out the weak rally with the supply bars in the same region that also shows the congestion to the left.

While I see the annotation on my chart I might as well point it out. It's something Balancetrader mentioned. Notice that the little range in early January didn't offer any resistance on the way up in early April. It was passed through. When this happens it will usually offer S/R from the other side which did occur in May-June.

This example ties up two of my current reading materials.

"It is those areas with the fewest trades, those areas where traders are least secure, where the most potential for price movement..often sustained price movement..occurs".

 

DbPhoenix..."Springboards" on his blog.

 

From Eng. Market Profile..Familiar Patterns in Statistics.

He calls this the double distribution pattern (not Wyckoff distribution, but statistical). "Volume is the final indicator of whether or not a newly-achieved price level, is accepted or not, by current market conditions. If volume is high, at one end, then one could expect price to work around that area more before it moves away from that area."

The markets continue to assess the election results as President-elect Trump fills in his cabinet choices, with the key Treasury Secretary spot still open. The Fed’s rate path continues to be debated with a -25 bp December cut seen as 50-50. Earnings season is coming to an end after mixed reports, though AI remains a major driver. Profit taking and rebalancing into year-end are adding to gyrations too. Wall Street rallied, led by the Dow’s 1.06% broadbased pop. The S&P500 advanced 0.53% and the NASDAQ inched up 0.03%. Asian stocks rose after  Nvidia’s rally. Nikkei added 1% to 38,415.32 after the Tokyo inflation data slowed to 2.3% in October from 2.5% in the prior month, reaching its lowest level since January. The rally was also supported by chip-related stocks tracked Nvidia. Overnight-indexed swaps indicate that it’s certain the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will cut its policy rate by 50 basis points on Nov. 27, with a 22% chance of a 75 basis points reduction. European stocks futures climbed even though German Q3 GDP growth revised down to 0.1% q/q from the 0.2% q/q reported initially. Cryptocurrency market has gained approximately $1 trillion since Trump’s victory in the Nov. 5 election. Recent announcement for the SEC boosted cryptos. Chair Gary Gensler will step down on January 20, the day Trump is set to be inaugurated. Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. MicroStrategy Inc.’s plans to accelerate purchases of the token, and the debut of options on US Bitcoin ETFs also support this rally. Trump’s transition team has begun discussions on the possibility of creating a new White House position focused on digital asset policy.     Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar recovered overnight and closed at 107.00. Bitcoin currently at 99,300,  flirting with a run toward the 100,000 level. The EURUSD drifts below 1.05, the GBPUSD dips to June’s bottom at 1.2570, while USDJPY rebounded to 154.94.

Gold spiked to 2,697 after escalation alerts between Russia and Ukraine. Heightened geopolitical tensions drove investors toward safe-haven assets. Gold has surged by 30% this year.
