Nasdaq Sep Futures cling to support at 23,748 after 24,052 Rejection

Top of the 4-month channel and VAH are the last daily supports. Acceptance back above 24,052 reopens 24,542/24,846; a daily close below 23,748 risks a slide toward 23,258 → 22,955 → POC ~22,464.

Daily structure (mid-term lens)

  • Inflexion point level remains 24,052 (daily critical pivot). Two failed attempts left a supply shelf just overhead.
  • Price is testing 23,748, which aligns with the upper rail of the 4-month rising channel and the VAH cluster—this is the market’s “do-or-continue” spot into the weekly close.
  • Momentum: daily oscillator has rolled off overbought and is crossing lower, while the histogram is positive but narrowing—momentum needs a close back above 24,052 to re-accelerate.

Scenarios

  • Bullish continuation:
    • Reclaim 24,052 and hold (daily close).
    • Targets: 24,542 first, then 24,846 (next profile shelf).
    • Validation: expanding volume on the break and a higher daily low above 23,748.
  • Bearish pullback:
    • Lose 23,748 on a daily close → opens a rotation to 23,258 and 22,955.
    • A deeper magnet sits near the POC around 22,464 at the lower channel boundary.

Key levels (mid-term map)

  • Break/Go: 24,052
  • Upside refs: 24,542 → 24,846
  • Decision support: 23,748 (channel/VAH confluence)
  • Supports below: 23,258 → 22,955 → POC ~22,464

How to use it

  • Treat 24,052 as the confirmation gate for trend extension; fade attempts below it only if daily momentum stays soft.
  • If 23,748 breaks on a close, step down the ladder (23,258/22,955/22,464) for rotations until a new higher-low forms.
  • Use your MacroStructure playbook to time entries on the intraday pullbacks that align with these daily triggers—no chase.
