NQ & ES near term support zones for bullish runE-mini Nasdaq-100 FuturesCME_MINI:NQ1!Big_ConBoth ES (SP500 ) and NQ (Nasdaq 100) futures have been on an uptrend throughout 2025 with SPX hitting ATH at the end of last year. Nasdaq 100 has been weaker since November 2025, but both indexes are poised to run higher from this daily demand zone that we are currently in. My chart breaks down the 4H support zones (green boxes) within the large daily zone. Once price breaks the 1H down trend into demand and makes a 1H higher high we can assume it is safe for NQ to run up into 26100+ and for ES to hit new all time highs. Note, within the zones there are some dotted white lines which are lower timeframe refinement within the zone. Fundamental catalysts for this will be a job report that comes in as expected (or slightly worse) this coming Friday and CPI the following Tuesday to come in lower than expected. This will open the pathway more for additional federal rate cuts which will fuel equities to higher highs. If price simply melts through all three 4H support zones then there is no trade. We are looking for price to bounce at a green support zone then form a higher high on the 30m/1H charts supported by high volume price action. After the higher high is formed use your favorite entry model to capture the upside. Lesson: Because this daily demand zone is so large for both NQ and ES, this is why we want to wait for lower timeframe confirmation. The top of the daily demand zone has been pierced for both assets. Price could bounce straight up from here, but that is not as likely as price digging lower. By waiting for confirmation in the form of a 30m/1H higher high it increases the probability of a long play working.
