NQ Flow Report
Market Structure Update – Thursday, October 23, 2025
Morning Structure Recap
NQ opened the session with early rotation near the ETH midpoint before driving upward through 25100. A clean structural base formed between 24999.00 and 25040.00, establishing a strong defended zone that supported multiple higher-low sequences through the morning. The RTH advance extended to 25216.50, completing a full directional recovery from the ETH pullback.
Midday Structure Overview
Price action shows a well-defined rally from the defended morning base near 24999.00 toward the 25216.50 high. Multiple light-blue zones mark prior defended areas, confirming stable structure across both ETH and RTH sessions. Momentum remains constructive, with buyers maintaining control above the 25100 pocket into midday.
Current Session Rhythm
The current rhythm shows steady continuation tone, with buyers holding the 25100–25120 zone as an active control area. The 25216.50 high remains the upper expansion cap, while downside rotation remains limited so long as structure holds above the 24999.00–25040.00 base.

Afternoon Bias
Bias – Bullish above 25100.00

Trader Tip
