NQ_F: Reaction higher from equal legs area

In this article we will analyze our forecast of the Nasdaq Futures in the short term cycle. Since the short term peak of NQ_F from 02.02.2023 to end wave 1 we have been expecting a pullback within wave 2 to take place. Here at Elliott Wave Forecast we have in place a system that allows us to measure an area in which we can expect a react to take place. We call it equal legs area or blue box area as you might have seen within our charts. These areas provide us with at least an 85% chance of a minimum of 3 waves bounce or reaction to take place. We can use these areas to enter in the market with a defined entry, Stop Loss and exit strategy.

We teach how to use our system within our member’s area and live trading room. Once a member or in trial you will be able to gather more of that information under your disposal. Nevertheless, let’s have a look now on the 1 hour chart of Nasdaq futures as provided to members from 02.27.2023. We have been within the equal legs area within a swing lower missing to end the cycle.
