Nota

$NQ_F Watch this area for a buyable dip. Price needs to hold this zone or its likely to drop lower. May see a lot of back and forth price action into Wed.
Just an FYI that I will be away this week and not trading so I won't be updating charts as usual. Good luck everyone on the volatile week.
