NDX Market Structure ShiftNASDAQ 100 IndexNASDAQ_DLY:NDXMoney_MentorsThe Nasdaq 100 Index (NDX) on the 1-hour timeframe has delivered a definitive Change of Character (ChoCH) to the downside, breaking past local support to form a fresh short-term bearish market structure. After peaking near the 30,191 level, price action aggressively sold off to establish a weak low at Point A around 28,904. Current price action is consolidating near 29,141, signaling a classic market setup defined by standard lower lows and lower highs. The Structural Roadmap The primary projection targets a pullback rally toward Point B, but it is crucial to understand that this location is highly subjective. Rather than a hard-and-fast line in the sand, the Point B region around 29,636 represents a broader retracement zone where we expect the next lower high to form. A successful rejection anywhere within this general supply zone sets the stage for a continuation move down to Point C, targeting the key demand area near 28,073. Actionable Trade Approaches Traders looking to capitalize on this price path have a few distinct tactical setups depending on risk profile. As price explores the subjective Point B rally zone near 29,636, a Bear Call Credit Spread above the recent highs allows you to collect premium while establishing a high-probability capped-risk entry. For traders seeking maximum leverage on the downward expansion, buying Directional Puts upon confirmation of a rejection in the Point B zone offers direct exposure down toward the Point C target. Once price reaches the major blue demand zone at Point C around 28,073, selling a Put Credit Spread allows you to take advantage of peak implied volatility and position for a structural bounce off support. Track these price zones closely to confirm acceptance before taking execution risk.
