I've got two index short setups on my radar. Both hinge on the same concept: wait for price to reach supply, then look for lower timeframe rejection.
Here's what matters:
THE STRUCTURE: NQ has supply in the upper 25Ks. SPX has cleaner supply just below 7K. Both are zones where sellers could step in if price rallies into them.
WHAT I'M WATCHING: IF price trades into these supply zones → I'm watching 5m/15m for distribution signals IF distribution confirms → I'm interested in shorts IF price blows through → No trade, thesis wrong
THE DIFFERENCE: NQ requires scaling (multiple targets). SPX is simpler—one target, one exit. Pick based on how much management bandwidth you have.
THE EDGE: This isn't "short now because I said so." It's "know where supply sits, wait for price to get there, then look for confirmation." No chasing. No guessing.
REMEMBER: Structure tells you WHERE to pay attention. Price action tells you WHEN to act.
