Structure leads the way as Nasdaq futures compress into key zones

Daily projections and micro-structure converge as futures test critical supply and demand levels.

Financial markets often appear chaotic, but beneath every surge, pause, and reversal lies structure. Patterns repeat because human behaviour repeats. These rhythms are not unique to finance — they’re reflected across nature, from biological growth to the geometry of galaxies, to the symmetry we see in the world around us. Markets obey these natural cycles because market participants are part of those same cycles.

The Macro S&D Alpha and Beta system is built on this concept: that markets follow repeatable behavioural patterns — and our job is to identify them early using tools that project structure ahead of price.

The Nasdaq December Futures continue to validate this approach. The daily chart projections outlined key levels long before price moved, mapping the 24,059 bounce and the current path toward 25,888 and 26,320. Price respected those levels with precision.

Today’s intraday structure provides the next layer of clarity.

Daily structure: Projections lead, price follows

On the broader daily timeframe, Nasdaq futures continue to follow the projected structural roadmap:

• 24,059 acted as the major inflexion zone, producing the bounce anticipated by the system.
• The market is now moving toward 25,888 — the immediate daily resistance.
• Above that sits 26,320, the next high-probability projection level if bullish momentum persists.

These levels weren’t derived after the fact — they were projected in advance, reflecting the underlying behavioural pattern the market continues to follow.

Intraday structure: Five-minute trend confirms the daily roadmap

The intraday 5-minute chart has now printed eight sessions of upward structure, with seven up days out of the last eight, mirroring the higher-timeframe trend.

Over the last three sessions, price reached the most critical zones from the current projection cycle and has now established three identical structural zones, functioning as repeatable support/resistance and supply/demand footprints.

These zones are now the key determinants of whether the Index continues toward the daily targets or corrects back into demand.

Current support/demand zone

25,428 – 25,297

• Aligned with the weekly VWAP and VAL.
• This zone has repeatedly served as the springboard for continuation moves.
• A retest remains possible if 25,560 fails.

Current resistance/supply zone

25,677 – 25,560

• Sits at the weekly POC and VAH
• This zone will determine whether the market expands upward or rotates lower.
• Price is currently compressing beneath the upper boundary, signalling an imminent directional break.

Next projected upside aone

25,805 – 25,936

• For this zone to activate, the Index must hold above 25,677.
• A clean break could open the path toward the daily projection at 26,320.

Downside risk

• Failure to hold 25,560 exposes 25,428.
• A break beneath 25,428 retargets 25,297, matching the last two intraday rotation lows.
• Such a move would reflect the market pausing before attempting another leg toward the higher daily projections.

Daily x intraday confluence: The market is approaching a decision point

The daily chart provides the roadmap.

The 5-minute chart shows how the market is walking that path — step by step.

Right now, both timeframes are compressing into a structural decision zone:

• Hold above 25,677 → opens 25,805–25,936 → sets up 26,320.
• Lose 25,560 → retest 25,428 → confirms rotational pause before next trend leg.

This is where the power of pattern-based projection becomes clear:

The levels were known in advance, and the price continues to respond to them with remarkable precision.

As Nasdaq futures approach these crucial structural zones, monitoring the interplay between the daily projections and the micro-timeframe footprints will be essential for staying ahead of the next major move into the European and New York sessions.

Intraday structure aligns with daily projections as Nasdaq futures compress between critical supply and demand zones.

Nasdaq December Futures Track a Perfect Structural Pattern as Daily Projections Align With Intraday Zones.

• Nasdaq December Futures continue to follow the projected structural roadmap with precision.
• The 24,059 bounce zone was identified in advance — now price is pressing into 25,888 and 26,320.
• Intraday (5-min) trend: 7 up days out of 8, forming three identical supply/demand zones.
• Critical compression between 25,677–25,560 (supply) and 25,428–25,297 (demand) will determine the next move.
• Holding 25,677 opens 25,805–25,936, with 26,320 still in play.
• Losing 25,560 risks a rotation back toward 25,428 before the next directional leg.
• Daily + intraday alignment highlights how repeatable market patterns continue to guide structure.
