Some strange down preasure in US markets. ....
IMO, that is because /NQ failed to take ATH again, 3rd time in a row.

IMO the NQ has its own agenda and is often very different moving compared to the DOW and S&P (and DAX)
Less correlation then the 3 mentioned markets.
I stopped trading it. To often to different. Distracting

DAX moved up the Thuesday High and turned down.
Now tries to go back to the 600/583 Y close.
So far remains on Y High

US markets bullish, but maybe will remain sideways and waiting for NFP tomorrow

This is a very simple 15 Minute bar chart

US markets were on the sell side all night.
DAX and EUROSTOXX moved up a little because of good factory orders, but US markets didn't follow.

US markets wait for their own news today and tomorrow, so if the US markets don't follow the DAX to the upsside in the first Hour, the DAX has to wait (in general) for the US markets now.

So there is contradiction between US and EU markets.
That should make you very cautious with trading/no long runs, just scalping untill we see a common direction again.

On a scalping day as today I look to levels/targets close by on the daily TPO chart. (Yesterday levels)
On a more trending day, I look to the Weekly TPO charts for levels/targets further away. (Weekly levels and pockets to fill)
