Week Ahead: NQ 21 Sep 26

Week Ahead: NQ 21 Sep 26

Sep 20, 2026

This week’s prep is now up.

Last week’s plan stayed neutral unless NQ could reclaim the 29,800–30,200 resistance zone. Price did move back into that area, but it hasn’t yet established clear acceptance above the whole zone.

That leaves the structure improved, but still two-sided.

I’m watching:

Resistance
30,000
30,100
30,300–30,400
31,000

Support
29,655–29,700

The September contract also rolled into December this week, so I’m being careful not to treat older contract levels as if they transfer exactly.

The macro calendar is lighter than last week:

Wednesday: Flash PMIs
Thursday: Trump–Xi meeting, jobless claims, new home sales
Friday: durable goods and final Michigan sentiment/inflation expectations

Several Fed officials also speak through the week following the latest rate decision.

For now, my read remains:

Bias: Neutral / Range
Conviction: Low

The goal is still the same: map the structure before the week begins, react to confirmation rather than predict, and keep an archive so the analysis can be judged after the fact.
