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."

    • Date: 14th May 2024. Market News – May 14. Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   Asian stocks and European futures kept to small ranges as focus turned to upcoming US inflation reports. JGB yields surged to their highest levels in over a decade amid growing speculation that the BOJ might raise interest rates soon. Former central bank executive Momma stated that the BOJ might opt to deduct its planned bond purchases next month in an effort to revive a bond market that has been largely impaired by its ongoing substantial purchases. BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda emphasized the importance of the market determining long-term yields independently rather than relying solely on the central bank’s actions. UK wage growth remained solid amid a slowdown in the job market, providing further arguments for the BOE’s monetary policy hawks to await more concrete signs of easing inflationary pressures before considering interest rate cuts. Eyes today are on producer price data in the US, followed by consumer price data the next day, which will provide insights into whether the Fed will consider interest rate cuts later in the year or postpone them until 2025. Financial Markets Performance:   The USDIndex is steady at 105 lows. The Yen extended losses for an 8th day against the Greenback to a 2-week low. Currently USDJPY is at 156.45. EURUSD rebounded slightly to 1.0785, however overall holds within a downwards channel with key resistance at 1.0850. USOIL held steady ahead of the release of an OPEC market outlook, with traders eagerly awaiting signals regarding the extension of supply curbs. Despite a decline since April, oil prices have remained relatively high this year due to ongoing supply restrictions by OPEC and its allies, with expectations that these curbs will be prolonged into the second half of the year. Currently USOIL is at $77.78. Gold (-0.93%) declined further to $2338 per ounce. Copper rose at +2.46% and Platinum +0.54%. Market Trends:   The 10-year JGB yield to a 6-month high of 0.965%. The 2-year JGB yield, which closely reflects policy expectations, rose to 0.340%, its highest since June 2009. The 20-year and 30-year JGB yields also surged to their highest levels in 11 years and since July 2011, respectively. FTSE100 stands by record highs, the S&P500 is close to topping March’s record high. The Nasdaq rose by 0.3%, with four of the Magnificent Seven stocks rising. The Hang Seng has added 20% in a rally that is entering a fourth week. Alibaba and Tencent report earnings later today. Always trade with strict risk management.
