📊 MNQ Report

🔍 Narrative Summary
A compressed holiday session saw balanced-to-bullish development early, but the tone shifted sharply near the close. MNQ opened within prior value and briefly tested support near 21700 where buyers absorbed early pressure. Responsive demand lifted price steadily to a session high near 21755.
However, from 12:45 to 13:00, late-session selling reversed the entire mid-day advance. Price dropped sharply from 21730 to 21690, reclaiming only a minor bounce to 21700 into the early close. This abrupt shift points to end-of-day profit-taking or a liquidation event, and it leaves price vulnerable heading into the next session.
📌 Note: Today is a holiday (Juneteenth) and a partial trading day — the market closed early. Trade accordingly, manage risk.
