NQ Flow Report

Pre-Market Outlook: October 13, 2025

Market Recap

Nasdaq futures recovered moderately through the Sunday evening and Monday early morning ETH session after last week’s sharp decline. The overnight range established initial balance between 24,542 and 24,945, showing early signs of responsive buying interest. Despite the recovery, overall momentum remains neutral to corrective as the market consolidates below Friday’s breakdown zone.

Key Levels & Reactions

Overnight trade built value above 24,600 with repeated tests toward 24,900 failing to expand higher. The 24,542 zone now marks key ETH session support, while 24,945 defines the upper boundary of overnight resistance.
Holding above 24,700 into the RTH open would favor a short-term attempt to retrace Friday’s imbalance toward 25,000. Conversely, acceptance below 24,540 would suggest sellers are reasserting control, opening potential continuation toward 24,200.

Volatility & Timing

Volatility remained contained through most of the ETH session, though tempo increased near the London open as buyers defended mid-range structure.
Heading into the U.S. session, early volatility is expected as traders respond to Friday’s liquidation and position ahead of upcoming data releases. Watch for increased volume between 9:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. ET, where directional intent typically confirms.

Takeaway of the Day

After a week of strong downside momentum, the Nasdaq futures market begins Monday in a state of cautious recovery. Overnight structure shows stabilization but not yet strength, with balance forming between 24,500 and 24,900. The first hour of RTH trade will reveal whether buyers can hold that base or if Friday’s pressure resumes.
