Nasdaq Futures Analysis for Today – May 9, 2025
Current Price: 20,200
Bias: Range-bound, with key reversal levels to monitor
Today’s session is shaped by caution ahead of this weekend’s expected developments in U.S.–China trade negotiations. With uncertainty in the air and Friday’s typical low-volatility tone, the Nasdaq futures are likely to remain range-bound unless there’s a surprise breakout.
Trade Compass Range and Key Levels
We identify a central equilibrium zone forming between:
-
Developing VWAP (Today): 20,181.5
-
POC (May 2): 20,212
-
Yesterday’s VWAP: Close to today’s developing VWAP
This tight clustering suggests 20,180–20,210 is the market’s current “fair value” area.
Topside Reversal Zone (Short Opportunity)
-
Threshold: 20,326 (Yesterday’s Value Area High)
-
Additional Confluence: 20,300 (POC and round number)
Plan: Look for signs of bearish reversal if price reaches this area.
Breakout Confirmation: Two consecutive 30-minute closes above 20,326 = bullish surprise
Upside Target on Breakout: 20,570
Downside Reversal Zone (Long Opportunity)
Summary Outlook for Nasdaq Today
Expect range-bound behavior unless triggered by surprise headlines or breakout volume. Today’s structure favors mean reversion within the defined bounds, not trend continuation. Both bulls and bears are likely to treat outer levels as inflection points for reversal trades.
Reminder for Nasdaq Traders and Investors:
tradeCompass offers a map, not a bias. Use the thresholds and key levels to adjust your strategy in real-time. Only act on breakouts once confirmed.
