๐ Game Plan Window: 28/2025: Sunday-Friday
๐ก Focus: Order accumulation, intraday structure, and directional bias
๐ Narrative Summary
The Nasdaq futures traded within a volatile range last week as liquidity dried up ahead of the Independence Day holiday. Key accumulation surfaced between 22800โ22840 early in the week, acting as a springboard for a sharp rally into the 23060โ23090 zone. Notably, the rally lacked continuation, suggesting responsive selling near highs.
๐ Note: Last week (27) holidays (07/03 early close, 07/04 early closure โ Independence Day).
๐ Note: Next week (28) Red Folder Economic Events.
