Liquidation Cascade AweE-mini Nasdaq-100 Futures (Jun 2026)CME_MINI:NQM2026SidgateBeautiful, complex bull-base. Pressure-pot structural lid. Destroyed by a 10-minute 8-point Asian sweep. Once you see it, you cannot unsee it. Magnificent Bull-base 1. Macro-hinge 2. Descending triangle nested within the macro-hinge 3. Cup nested within the macro-hinge 4. Micro-hinge nested within the macro-hinge 5. Three-part structural pressure-pot lid 6. Compression There was enormous power stored in this bull-base. Combine that with the descending triangle macro-balance - 09/17/2025 - 03/18/2026 - and it's hard to fathom the explosiveness therein. Asia is not to sweep prematurely and aggressively above resistance - especially not above a three-part pressure-pot lid. The book is too thin. Go to a 1-minute chart and you will see it was a 10-minute 8-point sweep. Had it stayed above resistance, rotated and established balance all would have been fine. Had Asia not pushed the boundary a 2nd time all would have been fine. Asia does not have the liquidity to support such a move, especially not after the 16:00 impulse bar that had already cleared the book. Asia's 1st sweep created a vacuum above resistance. Its 2nd push set off a cascade of stop-runs that climaxed at the iron shield of 23973. Sellers fiercely defended that value. Algos began stepping down their sell orders. Buyers got filled at lower entries. The price ran into the buyers' stop-losses and so it went. It was unstoppable due to Asia's thin book. Once you see it, you cannot unsee it. This is the 1st time I have put a liquidation cascade into words. Forgive me if it is a bit awkward. I will likely add notes to refine this poor effort to capture the complexity and awe of this chart. The light blue shaded areas are LVNs of the FRVP of the macro-hinge. LVNs tend to be support/resistance areas. Good places for hinges. This is the main reason I always hedge my long positions with one or more shorts. The auction is mechanical and logical. These I try to present. There is much here to see. Take your time. Expand the chart. I hope it awes you as it does me.
