NASDAQ Futures Long Setup: Pullback Entry After Tariff Boost

Market Outlook – April 13, 2025

Quick recap: In my last public analysis, I mentioned watching the 18,350–18,000 zone for signs of support — a level stacked with confluence (50–61.8% Fib, EMA, VWAP, pivot). Price broke down deeper than expected but responded beautifully:

✅ Tagged 18,000 almost to the tick
✅ Rejected hard at the 61.8 Fib
✅ Respected the 50 Fib on the way back up
All solid signs of strength.

Now with tariff exemptions announced today (bullish for tech/Nasdaq), I’m opening the door to more long setups this week.

Here’s What I’m Watching:
🔹 Scenario A: Pullback into the 18,575–18,500 zone (first dotted white line). If price reclaims structure or gives me something clean — EMA bounce, VWAP tag, candle pattern — I’ll look for longs.
🔹 Scenario B: If that level breaks or I miss the first shot, I’ll look for a second chance around 18,000–18,300. Same deal: not jumping in blindly, waiting for a setup to form.

To be clear — these are areas of interest, not automatic trades. I want clean structure and confirmation before entering.

Let’s see how it plays out. Will update if/when I take a position. Stay sharp. 📈
