šŸ” 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 22800–22840 early in the week, acting as a springboard for a sharp rally into the 23060–23090 zone. Notably, the rally lacked continuation, suggesting responsive selling near highs.

šŸ“Œ Note: Last week (27) holidays (07/03 early close, 07/04 early closure – Independence Day).
