Daily Narrative · Top-Down

October 19 — NQ Run The Highs, Then Lower.

The Daily is building out strong bearish structure, and the 4H is inside a bearish FVG, respecting the C.E. It's a large overnight range, but the best case for today is a run up through the 12am and 8:30 opens into the London / overnight high, then a reversal down to the Asia low from 10/18. The entry is the reaction at the high, not the direction.

NQ 1D — 1D — Strong Bearish Structure Building Out

The Daily took the stop raid at the highs, broke structure with the MSS, and closed through the Daily IFVG. The Daily is building out strong bearish structure, and today's candle is bouncing off those lows.

NQ 4H — 4H — Inside A Bearish 4H FVG, Respecting The C.E.

Price is inside a bearish 4H FVG (SIBI) and respecting the C.E. That keeps the 4H in line with the Daily, and it's the array I want price to react to.

NQ 15m — 15m — Large Overnight Range, Best Case Is A Run Then Lower

It's a large overnight range, but this is the best case for today. Price runs up through the 12am and 8:30 opens, takes the London and overnight high, then reverses and delivers down to the Asia low from 10/18.

The One Thing To Respect

A large overnight range is not a clean day. The bias is bearish and the HTF is lined up, but this is the best case, not a guarantee, and shorting into the range is chasing.

My model enters on the reaction to the sweep of the high, not on the direction being right. No reaction, no trade.
