Last Updated: April 9, 2025
Nasdaq Futures are trading at 17,360, with the current bias tilted to the bearish side, as price remains well below the 17,450 region, which marks the key short trigger zone between 17,440 and 17,460. Unless the market breaks higher, sellers have the edge here.
Bias Thresholds
-
Bearish Bias Below: 17,450
(Short interest zone: 17,440–17,460 – consider fading rallies into that area) -
Bullish Bias Above: 17,550

How to Use the TradeCompass
-
Stay Tactical:
Consider one direction at a time. If you’re in a short, focus on downside targets unless the bullish threshold is breached. Once it is, you’re open to switching sides. Max of two trades per direction is advised per TradeCompass session. -
Partial Profit-Taking:
Use the target junctions to scale out gradually. Don’t rely on hitting the final target — trading is about risk control and tactical gains. -
Discipline Is Key:
Manage your stops wisely. After hitting first or second targets, consider adjusting your stop-loss to breakeven.
