Weekly Market Structure Outlook – Nasdaq Futures

(Week of October 27, 2025)

Structural Context Summary

Nasdaq futures continue to consolidate near newly established all-time highs. Price maintained an extended structure throughout last week, trading above prior defended bases while compressing near the upper expansion band. Overall tone remains balanced with sustained momentum control but limited directional follow-through.

Friday RTH Session Review

Friday’s RTH session rotated around the newly printed all-time high, showing controlled two-sided trade after the earlier week’s expansion. Buyers defended local structure on minor pullbacks, while sellers capped progress near 25570.75. The session closed near the upper edge of the range, suggesting balance rather than directional continuation into the weekend.

Weekly Market Picture

Weekly Structure Overview

The prior week established a strong expansion leg from 24804.75 to 25570.75, breaking through the previous all-time-high barrier marked at 25394.75. After the breakout, price held elevated structure and compressed into balance near the new highs. Midweek rotations defended prior breakout zones, confirming the shift from expansion to consolidation. The weekly rhythm reflects equilibrium between momentum retention and structural digestion at the upper boundary.

Momentum Context and Structural Behavior

Momentum remained stable throughout the week. Early-week strength transitioned into controlled rotation as buyers defended the 25276.00–25296.00 region while failing to sustain higher-velocity continuation beyond 25500. The rotation phase indicates healthy consolidation above prior resistance, establishing a higher-time-frame base for future directional development.

Structural Milestones

Untested Weekly Structure High – 25570.75
Untested Weekly Structure Low – 24804.75

Continuation favored on expansion above 25570.75; rotation expected while contained within the current upper balance range.

Bias and Outlook

Bias – Neutral
The market enters the week balanced near structural highs. Continuation requires decisive momentum through 25570.75, while sustained trade back under 25338.00 could invite rotation toward the mid-range foundation. With no major macro catalysts early in the week, structure favors measured balance until new participation emerges.

Educational Insight / Trader Tip

Momentum can pause without reversing. Recognizing rotation at new highs prevents emotional positioning and reinforces patience during consolidation phases.

Weekly Reflection

Structure evolves from expansion into balance before new momentum phases emerge. The professional trader’s edge lies in reading those transitions and preparing before volatility returns.
