Nasdaq NAS100 Volume Profile: The Make-or-Break Level To Watch US Tech 100 IndexFUSIONMARKETS:NAS100fxtraderanthonyNAS100 🌍 The macro narrative heading into this week is dominated by the fallout from the Federal Reserve's recent hawkish shift and shifting US jobs data, which has kept rate-sensitive tech indices on a tight leash 🏦. Interestingly, general online sentiment is heavily leaning bearish following a rocky close to the previous month, with retail groups aggressively calling for an AI bubble pop and further downside. This dense concentration of late retail shorts suggests a classic liquidity hunt could be brewing to sweep those early trend-followers before the true directional move establishes itself. We are seeing a corrective Market Structure on the H1 timeframe within a broader structural consolidation 📈. Price action recently experienced a sharp markdown followed by a technical ascending channel, which is currently testing the lower bounds of our established value parameters. While widespread community chatter is confidently calling for a textbook breakdown, the Dow Theory perspective shows a series of higher lows within the channel, implying that retail sellers may be trapped if we see an impulsive structural reclaim. Key Zone: The primary focus is the prominent high-volume node visible right around the $29,472 to $29,485 area, serving as our immediate Point of Control (POC) and the bottom of the value range 📉. We are currently trading at the low of the macro range, presenting a critical inflection point for Auction Market Theory participants. I am watching for a swift "run on liquidity" to sweep the late sellers I'm seeing across various social forums before the index decides its next quarterly path 🧹. If the market aggressively breaks above the bottom of this value range and reclaims the low value area, I will flip structurally bullish, looking to trade the rotational theme back toward the high of the value range near $30,273. Conversely, if the price holds under this immediate value area, fails to find acceptance, and exhibits a bearish Break of Structure (BoS) on the retest, I will respect the seller-controlled regime and look to short the market further down into the macro structural vacuum. My Trade Plan 🎯 Bias: Neutral-Biased Long. Exercising strict patience until the market confirms acceptance or rejection at the value threshold. Entry Protocol: I will execute a Buy trigger upon a clean, impulsive bullish BoS above $29,485 followed by a successful retest of the range floor as support. If the retest fails and prices hold firmly below $29,472, the short trigger activates on a bearish BoS retest to target lower liquidity pools.
