NQ Futures (15M) Bearish Trade Idea, Market Maker Sell ModelE-mini Nasdaq-100 Futures (Sep 2026)CME_MINI:NQU2026propfirmwiseOverview NQ has completed a Buy Side Liquidity (BSL) sweep into a premium area, where multiple bearish confluences are beginning to align. The recent reaction suggests buyers may be losing momentum, making this an area worth watching for a potential bearish continuation. Key Confluences: - Buy Side Liquidity has been taken above previous highs. - SMT divergence signals weakening bullish strength. - Price is respecting the 15M CISD, indicating a possible shift in order flow. - The nearby Fair Value Gap (FVG) is acting as a key decision zone. If price breaks below and retests it as resistance, it could provide confirmation for further downside. Bearish Outlook: As long as price remains below the 15M CISD and fails to reclaim the liquidity sweep, I favor a bearish continuation. The primary expectation is for price to rebalance the inefficiency and seek liquidity resting below, following the ICT Market Maker Sell Model. Liquidity Sweep → SMT Divergence → 15M CISD → FVG Reaction → Expansion toward Sell Side Liquidity.
