However, the bounce back toward **29509.75** keeps the setup from becoming strongly bearish for now. ## Key takeaways for NQ futures traders - Prediction Score: -3 / +10, mildly bearish to bearish. - Main bearish trigger: A failure below 29481.50 VAL. - Current decision zone: 29509.75 POC. - First repair zone: 29553-29560. - Stronger bullish repair: Acceptance back above 29571.50 VAH. - Downside target zone if VAL fails: 29450-29438. ## NQ futures key price levels today Level Role Current read **29571.50** VAH / upper acceptance line Bulls need to reclaim this to repair the bearish structure **29553-29560** VWAP / failed mid-zone First resistance area if price bounces **29509.75** POC Current decision zone **29481.50** VAL Key lower support / breakdown trigger **29450-29438** Downside target zone Next support / downside magnet if VAL fails ## Why is the NQ futures score mildly bearish today? The bearish case started after NQ failed to sustain the upper area near **29600-29610**. From there, price rotated lower through **29571.50 VAH** and moved back into the value area. The decline became more important once price failed to reclaim the mid-zone near **29555-29560**, where the red VWAP slope also acted as resistance. That failure suggested that sellers were still controlling the intraday structure. The late-session detail that matters most is the test of **29481.50 VAL**. NQ bounced from that lower value area back toward **29509.75 POC**, which shows some short-term support. But this bounce does not yet prove a bullish reversal. It looks more like a first-stage repair or short-covering move after the downside extension. ## What does the orderFlow Intel suggest? The move from the upper value area into VAL showed sellers becoming more effective as price stepped down. Selling pressure intensified into the lower value area, then eased as price tested **29481.50**. That is why the current score is not more bearish than **\-3 / +10**. Sellers had control on the way down, but buyers or short-covering activity appeared near VAL. The next test is whether that bounce can hold above **29509.75** and extend toward **29553-29560**. ## tradeCompass map for NQ futures today Zone Bias Meaning Above **29571.50** Bullish repair Reclaim of upper value area **29553-29560** First resistance VWAP / failed mid-zone Around **29509.75** Neutral decision zone POC test Below **29481.50** Bearish continuation VAL failure **29450-29438** Downside target zone Next support / magnet ## NQ futures bearish scenario If NQ loses **29481.50** and cannot quickly reclaim it, the bearish case strengthens. That would suggest the bounce from VAL was only temporary and that sellers are again pressing the market lower. In that scenario, the next downside focus shifts toward **29450-29438**. ## NQ futures bullish repair scenario A move back above **29553-29560** would weaken the bearish case and suggest that the morning selloff is being repaired. A stronger bullish shift would require acceptance back above **29571.50 VAH**. Until that happens, the broader read remains cautious and mildly bearish. ## Today’s summary for Nasdaq 100 futures traders The current NQ JUN26 Structure Read is **\-3 / +10**. Sellers controlled the move from the upper value area into **29481.50 VAL**, but the late bounce toward **29509.75 POC** prevents a stronger bearish score for now. The decisive test is simple: NQ needs to hold above **29509.75** and repair toward **29553-29560** to reduce bearish pressure. If it fails below **29481.50**, the downside path toward **29450-29438** becomes more active. Trade NQ futures at your own risk only.
