BEARISH ON NQMicro E-mini Nasdaq-100 Index Futures (Jun 2026)CME_MINI:MNQM2026PlutoTradesSMC1️⃣ Liquidity sweep Friday daily high taken. 2️⃣ SMT confirmation NQ sweeps, ES fails → bearish divergence. 3️⃣ HTF shift 1H bullish FVG gets inverted → becomes resistance. 4️⃣ Execution framework Wait for 15m bearish FVG to form after displacement down. 5️⃣ Entry Short the 15m FVG retrace. That’s textbook HTF → LTF model alignment. Why your idea is strong When the 1H FVG inverts, it usually means: buyers who bought the gap are trapped algorithm shifts from accumulation → distribution price starts delivering to sell-side liquidity But the 15m FVG is the key because it shows real displacement. Without that displacement, the market can just keep ranging. What the ideal move would look like The A+ version of your setup would look like this: Break through the 1H FVG Strong 15m displacement candle 15m bearish FVG forms Retrace into that FVG Continue lower targeting liquidity Targets based on your chart would likely be: • 24,743 (first draw) • 24,698 range low • 24,490 daily sellside liquidity What would invalidate it Two things would make me cautious: • Reclaiming the 1H FVG quickly • ES suddenly taking the highs too (SMT disappears) If that happens, it can flip into a liquidity run to 25,018 buyside. One thing I like about your plan You’re not forcing the trade. A lot of traders would: see SMT see the sweep immediately short But waiting for: 1H inversion → 15m displacement → 15m FVG filters out a ton of bad trades.
