Cups & BTDsMicro E-mini Nasdaq-100 Index FuturesCME_MINI:MNQ1!SidgateOn NQ charts I focus on H&S patterns. On MNQ charts I focus on Cups & BTD areas. On both charts I show pocs, daily closes and anything else important. What to watch 1. Newly formed Cup & handle on far right of chart 2. Prior vpoc @ 25,215.50 3. Cup Rim 25,145 4. BTD areas act as support and resistance 5. Key S/R @ 25,575 When the px bounces on these areas I always set my ladder up. My ladder always follows the market's lead and my margin. One ladder I have used in the past was MNQ 5-point. I would buy 1 MNQ every 5 points. Every entry had a 19.75-point target. Just an example. You must make this decision for your account. Sometimes my ladder goes down - i.e. shorting the market. I wish I could make this chart cleaner. Everything on here is vital data. At the bottom you can see the top of the price compression and coil that launched this big move. Of course it didn't just happen. Some Big Hand(s) deliberately engineered it. It's our job to follow their lead.
