MNQ 1H: Testing Premium Liquidity – ICT Market Structure AnalysiMicro E-mini Nasdaq-100 Index FuturesCME_MINI:MNQ1!NCCTradersOverview Analyzing the Micro Nasdaq-100 (MNQ!) on the 1H timeframe. Following a significant impulsive move from the recent swing low (Feb 17th), price has successfully navigated through the Discount and Equilibrium zones. We are currently testing the 0% (Premium) level, which aligns with previous structural resistance. The Setup: Fibonacci & ICT Confluence analysis shows a clear retracement play. We have transitioned from the "Deep Discount" (0.786 - 0.88 levels) into the current Premium Zone. Current Zone: We are currently at the 0% (Premium) level (approx. 25,100). This is a critical "Make or Break" point for the current bullish expansion. Equilibrium Check: Price spent significant time consolidating around the 0.5 Equilibrium (yellow line) before the recent displacement upward. Golden Zone: The 0.618 Golden Ratio remains a key point of interest should we see a retracement before further upside. Market Structure & Expectations The Deep Scan of market DNA suggests that we are looking for a shift in displacement here. Bearish Scenario (Internal Range Liquidity): If price fails to close and hold above the light blue Premium box, I am looking for a return to Equilibrium (0.5) or a retest of the OTE (0.705) to pick up more buy-side liquidity. Bullish Scenario (Expansion): A clean break and hold above the Premium level targets TP1 (-0.27) at ~25,300 and TP2 (-0.618) at ~25,550. No-Trade Checklist (NCC Protocol) As per my Elite Standard checklist: HTF Bias: Bullish Displacement: Waiting for 1H candle close confirmation. Killzone: Analysis performed during the New York afternoon session. Conclusion Patience is key. I am waiting for the Character Scanner to confirm if this Premium test is a sweep of liquidity or a genuine breakout. Risk Disclaimer: Futures trading involves significant risk.
