MNQ (15m) POI Map — Why These Levels Matter and how to use themMicro E-mini Nasdaq-100 Index FuturesCME_MINI:MNQ1!TradeswithBMNQ (15m) POI Map — Why These Levels Matter (and how I’m using them) I don’t like “winging it” once the market starts moving fast. So before the session (or during quieter pre-market hours), I mark **Points of Interest (POIs)** that I expect price to **react from**—either as support/resistance, liquidity targets, or “decision zones” where bias can flip. These POIs are not magic lines. They’re **locations where order flow has already proven itself**, and where I want to be *ready* instead of *surprised*. --- ## How I chose these POIs (my filter) Each POI on this chart was mapped using 3 things: 1. **Structure (15m swings / pivots)** Where price previously *broke structure* or *rejected hard*. 2. **Liquidity (obvious targets)** Equal highs/lows, clean swing points, and “everyone sees it” areas where stops sit. 3. **Reaction history (clean reactions)** Levels that have already caused a noticeable bounce, stall, or reversal = worth respecting again. --- ## The Levels (Bull POIs) ### **BULL POI #1 — 25,810.50** This is my **first decision level** in the current zone. It’s the closest “line in the sand” where: * Holding above it keeps bullish continuation alive * Losing it opens the door for a rotation back into the lower POIs **How I use it:** If we tag this area and **hold/accept above** (strong bodies, wicks getting bought, reclaim after a sweep), I’m looking for longs targeting the next POI up. --- ### **BULL POI #2 — 25,874.25** This one is a **higher pivot / reaction zone**—the type of level where price often: * pauses to consolidate * rejects for a pullback * or breaks through and turns into support **How I use it:** If price is trending up, this is a logical **first major target** and a spot to either scale profit or look for a clean break-and-retest to continue. --- ### **BULL POI #3 — 25,927.00** This is a **liquidity + swing area**. It’s the kind of level that’s attractive for: * stop runs above prior highs * profit-taking * reversal setups if momentum stalls **How I use it:** I treat this as a “reaction expected” level. If we arrive with weak momentum, I’m cautious chasing longs into it. --- ### **BULL POI #4 — 25,949.25** This is my **upper extreme POI**—usually a bigger “decision area” where: * late longs get trapped if momentum dies * reversals can form (especially after a sweep) * or we get continuation if the tape is strong **How I use it:** I’m more likely to **take profit into this** than initiate fresh longs unless the market is clearly in expansion. --- ## The Levels (Bear POIs) ### **BEAR POI #1 — ~25,754 zone (25,754.25 on my map)** This is my **bearish trigger / pivot**. If price loses Bull POI #1 and continues lower, this becomes the next major “prove it” level. **How I use it:** If we break down into this area and **reject** (heavy wicks, failed reclaim), I’ll look for continuation shorts toward the next bear POIs. --- ### **BEAR POI #2 — 25,649.75** This is a deeper **demand/reaction pocket**—a level I expect price to *respect* or at least *pause* at. **How I use it:** This is a common “bounce zone.” If shorts are in profit, I’m scaling here. If we sweep it and reclaim, I’m watching for reversal setups. --- ### **BEAR POI #3 — 25,622.25** This is the **lower extreme / liquidity pool** level—where panic moves can exhaust and snap back. **How I use it:** I’m not trying to short *into* this level late. This is where I expect **either**: * a final flush and reversal attempt **or** * a strong breakdown continuation (if the day is truly risk-off) --- ## The whole point of mapping POIs These levels give me a simple plan: * **Hold above Bull POI #1 → bullish bias stays active** * **Lose Bull POI #1 → expect rotation to Bear POI #1** * **Each POI is either a target, a reaction zone, or a bias flip zone** I’m not predicting. I’m preparing. --- ## Execution Rules (what I wait for at a POI) At any POI, I want confirmation like: * **Sweep + reclaim** (liquidity grab then strong close back through) * **Break + retest** (clean structure change) * **Rejection candles** (wicks + follow-through away from the level) * **Acceptance** (multiple closes above/below = level flips) Then I manage risk using a simple concept: **Invalidation goes just beyond the POI. Targets are the next POI.** --- ### If you’re using my tool stack: These POIs pair well with: * **ORB direction/bias** * **VWAP/EMA context** * **Reversal confirmations** (only when the POI + context agree) --- **Not financial advice. Futures are high risk—size accordingly and protect your downside.** If you want, I can turn this into a cleaner “TradingView publish-ready” format with a tighter intro + bullet layout, and add your usual TRADESWITHB call-to-action at the end.
