the cash session (Spot)
- Cash market and sentiment: The NDX Star remains unchanged (0.00% at price 29544.86), however, strong selling pressure was noted in cumulative flows (CVD NDX: -92,59 M), which, in the absence of price movement, suggests active distribution or supply absorption. The aggregate flow direction indicator is -18, confirming the dominance of capital distribution at the current moment.
- Spot/Futures Relation: NQ Probe contracts show a slight upward surplus (+0.02% at price 29569.75), creating a small divergence against the lack of movement on the NDX Star. The QQQ Dyson Sphere maintains stability (+0.02%), with negative CVD energy flow (-745,61 K).

the cash session (Spot)
- Analysis of the cash market and derivatives: The market shows a slight upward trend (NDX +0.13%, NQ +0.15%, QQQ +0.16%), however, with clear selling pressure in the cumulative flows. The cumulative CVD volume for the NDX index is −96.18 M, which, combined with a simultaneous price increase, suggests the presence of passive absorption of supply or testing of demand under distribution conditions. The aggregate flow direction indicator at -18 confirms the dominance of capital distribution in the current interval.
- Broad market (TICKQ): The TICKQ indicator reached a value of 239.00, which, with an SMA200 average of 9.68, indicates extremely strong, jumpy buyer activity within the Nasdaq broad market, which stands in contrast to the negative CVD values.
- QQQ options market: Implied volatility (IV) is 18.49%, with an options volume at the level of 4,555,300. The Put/Call Ratio (1.04) suggests a slight dominance of hedging positions or expectations for greater downward volatility. The expected range of movement for QQQ lies within the 716.20 – 724.56 range.

the cash session (Spot)
- Flow and price analysis: The market shows a strong divergence between price and capital flow. Despite increases in indices (NDX +0.23%, NQ +0.24%, QQQ +0.25%), the cumulative flow (CVD) across all instruments is negative, suggesting distribution under rising prices (aggressive selling combined with a lack of strong liquidity support). Pressure is particularly visible on the NDX, where CVD is -86.47 mln, which at current price levels indicates attempts to extinguish the upward trend.
- Sentiment and broad market: The aggregate flow direction indicator is -18, confirming the dominance of capital distribution over accumulation. The TICKQ indicator (282.00) is extremely high above the SMA200 average (14.06), which may signal extreme market overbought conditions and the risk of a correction or a false upward breakout.
- Options market: On the QQQ options market, a volume of 4,151,266 contracts was recorded with a Put/Call Ratio of 1.04, indicating a slight advantage in hedging positions or expectations of declines. Implied volatility (IV) at the level of 18.46% and the market-expected range of movement (715.92 – 724.48) suggest a concentration of activity around current price levels.

the cash session (Spot)
- Price dynamics and flows: The market shows a slight upward trend (NDX +0.15%, NQ +0.15%, QQQ +0.16%), however, cumulative flow data (CVD) indicates strong selling pressure. In the cash market, negative flow was recorded for NDX (-83,57 mln), QQQ (-403,92 tys.) and NQ (-13,75 tys.), suggesting that current price increases may be a technical rebound accompanied by capital distribution.
- Sentiment and broad market: The aggregate flow direction index is -28, confirming the dominance of capital outflow in the current interval. Despite negative flows, the TICKQ indicator is at 155.00, which, compared to the SMA200 average of 15.77, indicates an extremely strong, temporary dominance of buyers in the broad basket of Nasdaq stocks.
- QQQ options analysis: The options market with a volume of 3,105,130 contracts shows neutral sentiment (Put/Call Ratio = 0.97). Implied volatility (IV) at 18.63% suggests moderate expectations regarding the range of movement, with a predicted range for QQQ between 714.10 – 723.40.

the cash session (Spot)
- Cash market and sentiment analysis: The market is in a phase of slight distribution. The NDX index (-0.05%) and QQQ (-0.03%) show selling pressure, which is confirmed by the negative cumulative energy flow (CVD) at the level of -82.97 mln for NDX and -398.64 thousand for QQQ. The aggregate flow direction indicator is -18, signaling the dominance of selling over accumulation in the current time window.
- Broad market (TICKQ): Despite negative flows on the main indices, the TICKQ indicator remains at 59.00, which, with a SMA200 average of 18.46, indicates strong relative strength of the Nasdaq broad market components, which may suggest an attempt at stabilization or a local bear trap.
- Futures contracts (NQ): the NQ Probe shows a high correlation with the cash market, recording a minimal loss (-0.04%) with negative CVD (-18.44 thousand), confirming the convergence of sentiment between spot and futures.
- QQQ options market: The market is pricing in moderate volatility (IV: 18.75%) with an expected movement range between 711.70 – 721.44. The Put/Call Ratio at 1.01 indicates an almost full equilibrium between the demand for call and put options, which, with a volume exceeding 2 mln contracts, suggests the building of neutral hedging positions around current price levels.

- Technical summary: The current market structure indicates testing of support levels. The lack of signs of demand absorption alongside the simultaneous decline in the Background Radiation (TICKQ) indicator suggests that the downward trend remains strong in the current interval.
