Daily NQ Futures Forecasts

Forecasting the daily range

Every trading day since January 2021, MAZing has published a free forecast for Nasdaq-100 E-mini futures (NQ) on TradingView, usually hours before the NYSE market open.

How it works

One forecast, posted publicly, every session

1
Posted before the open

Each forecast goes up on TradingView, usually hours before the NYSE market open.

2
Range and key levels

The expected open range, intraday key levels, and long and short scenarios, on a chart with levels and a timestamp.

3
A locked record

TradingView allows edits for only 15 minutes after posting, so every original forecast since January 2021 stands as first published. Intraday market commentary is posted separately during the session.

Why the daily range

The net move is a small part of the ground the market covers

From January 2 to July 10, 2026, NQ gained 3,958 points from close to close. Over the same 131 sessions, its daily high-to-low ranges added up to 67,480 points. MAZing focuses on where the market moves within each session, not only where it ends up.

About

MAZing: “Michael A. Zingale”

Michael A. Zingale began his career in 1988, licensed in life insurance and focused on cash value life insurance. Much of that work was estate planning: making sure families had the cash to pay estate taxes when the exemption was $600,000 per person.

That need changed as the exemption climbed, to $1 million by 2002 and to about $15 million per person today. Michael kept his life insurance practice and, in the early 2000s, added investment services to meet what clients needed next.

About twenty years later he added a third discipline: short-timeframe index forecasting and trading. That work became MAZing, named for his initials. Since January 2021 he has posted a forecast for Nasdaq-100 E-mini futures (NQ) on TradingView before every U.S. session. Each forecast is timestamped and locked as first published.
