ES NQ NKD - Analysis & Levels - 05.07.26
New ATH for indices -- absolute monster move in Nikkei -- I almost wish I didnt go out to eat and traded OSE open haha. 10Y down and ZB puts in a nice swing low.
For new subscribers—
I use Fibonacci sequences as the core of my analysis, combining mechanical levels with contextual zones drawn from auction theory.
Mechanical levels help me map out potential support, resistance, and distribution zones so you can see where I expect buyers or sellers to step in
I color‑code these levels so they’re easier to follow on your charts:
blue = potential discount zones (support),
purple = “line in the sand” levels I expect price to defend
red = premium zones (resistance / distribution)

News for the week
Nikkei ripping tonight on JPY monetary policy print it looks like.
10Y ZB VX N225
Nice movement across the board — 10Y down, ZB rising from the dead. Monster move in Nikkei.
Geez what a monster move in Nikkei tonight. Completing those upside targets I gave out in Nikkei
N225 / 6J
Nice swing low for /6J as well, front running that level that I marked probably few weeks back. I wasn’t sure how accurate my levels were going to be for 6J but looks like I did pretty good. Shout out Rob, who trades 6J !
ES
Nice aggressive technical sequence that has been trading in the afterhours, completes upside targets.
Just because we have gaps below, doesnt mean were going to gap fill. Idc what the data says, I trade with the trend and the sentiment of the market participants.
> Thats an easy way to get rekt when you look at something that says “80% chance there is a gap fill” I like to know where those gaps are so I can play them — but I dont just assume we will fill the gap.
> As long as there are buyers price will continue to go up
NQ
its tough to give out levels for smaller time frame support when we just keep cruising in the overnight session.
