It’s Tuesday, December 9th, 2025, and this is your Daily Nasdaq Futures Recap—where we dissect every twist, turn, and trade our automated system executed throughout the session.
So, let’s not waste any time and jump straight into the action.
Market Pulse: The Calm Before The Storm
The economic calendar was light today, but the mood was heavy with anticipation. Markets are in a clear holding pattern, waiting for the Federal Reserve’s policy decision tomorrow. Yesterday’s pullback in communication and consumer stocks set a cautious tone, and that sentiment carried into today’s trade. With no major tech earnings on tap after the close, all eyes are fixed squarely on the Fed.
Session-by-Session Breakdown
Overnight Session: Drifting on Low Volume
As the futures market reopened, trading was thin and orderly. The Nasdaq futures gently drifted around the 25,600 level, showing almost no reaction to the Asian market open. It was the textbook definition of a market holding its breath, with investors keeping risk exposure to a minimum.
Morning Session: A Rollercoaster Before the Bell
The European open brought a bit of firmness, but the real action started at 5:30 AM.
A sudden downdraft prompted our robot to initiate a short position.
However, buyers quickly stepped in, reversing the move. Our system swiftly adapted, closing that short for a loss and flipping to a long position.
Then, at 8:30 AM, another wave of selling hit. Our long position was stopped out, and the system re-entered short. After this volatile two-step, our realized losses stood at 69 dollars.
The 9:30 AM US Open: Pressure & Reversal
The cash market open saw initial pressure, particularly on some mega-cap tech names, pushing the Nasdaq down. Our robot was holding that short. But true to recent form, the dip was bought, the market reversed sharply upward. Our system captured the pivot, covering the short and establishing a new long position.
By 11:15 AM, the story had two parts: realized losses mounted to 99 dollars, but our new long position was showing a promising unrealized gain of 153 dollars.
Afternoon Session: The Waiting Game
The excitement faded into a quiet afternoon grind. With the Fed looming, the Nasdaq futures entered a tight range, hovering listlessly around the 25,700 zone. Our robot held its long position, riding the sideways action.
Today’s Trading Results
At the closing bell, the final numbers came in. Despite the morning whipsaw, our robot’s adjustments in the later sessions locked in gains. Total realized P&L for the day finished positively at 44 dollars.
Closing Insight
Today was a classic case of “Fed Watch.” In an environment defined by caution and low volatility, the primary goal is often capital preservation. Navigating that choppy, directionless action is a challenge, and our system managed to eke out a small but meaningful profit amidst the uncertainty.

It’s Monday, December 8th, 2025, and you’re tuned in to your Daily Nasdaq Futures Recap,
where we don’t just watch the markets, we dissect them. I’ll be breaking down every twist, turn, and trade our algorithmic robot executed throughout the session.
So, let’s jump straight into the action!
Market News & Catalysts
A steady drip of economic data set the stage today:
At 11:00 AM, we got the NY Fed’s 1 Year Inflation Expectations, holding steady.
at 11:30 AM ET brought a wave of Treasury action with 3 & 6-Month Bill Auctions, followed by a 3-Year Note Auction.
After the close, the earnings calendar was quiet, with no major tech names reporting.
Overnight Session (Sunday/Monday)
As the globex session reopened, the Nasdaq futures market saw an immediate gap higher. Our robot, reading the momentum, seized a long position right out of the gate.
However, the optimism was muted. Trading remained quiet and orderly, with the Nasdaq drifting listlessly around the 26,500 level. Investors clearly had one eye on the looming Fed meeting later in the week, keeping risk light. The Asian market open failed to provide any directional fuel, leaving price action in a tight range.
Morning Session (Pre-Market)
The European open provided some firmness, but the calm shattered at 8:30 AM ET. A wave of selling hit heavyweight tech names: NVIDIA, Palantir, and AMD were all under significant pressure, sparking concerns over valuations ahead of potential Fed policy shifts.
The Nasdaq dipped, then slid deeper. Our robot, detecting the shift in momentum, exited its long and flipped to a short position. This move proved prescient. By the time we approached the US cash open, the robot was sitting on a strong 197 dollars in unrealized profit.
The 9:30 AM US Cash Open
At the opening bell, we saw a characteristic dead-cat bounce. Buyers stepped in briefly, but the rally quickly lost steam. Our robot, adhering to its disciplined exit rules, closed the short position for a solid 100 dollars profit.
Seeing momentary strength, it then entered a long position. But the market had other ideas. The bounce reversed almost immediately. Without hesitation, the robot cut the long for a small loss and re-entered a short, demonstrating its agile, reactionary strategy.
At 11:00 AM, Inflation Data Drop
The key data point of the morning landed: NY Fed 1-Year Inflation Expectations came in unchanged at 3.2%. The market’s reaction? A collective shrug, volatility actually dipped post-release. In this quiet spell, our robot closed its short position, locking the session’s realized profit at 159 dollars.
Late Morning Scalp
Just before noon, another subtle dip emerged. Our robot, ever-alert, jumped into a swift short-term trade, held it for just ten minutes, and exited cleanly, boosting our realized total to 177 dollars.
Afternoon Session & Power Close
The afternoon turned highly volatile, with prices churning in a wider range. Then, in the final hour, a narrative shift: buyers stepped in with conviction, engineering a sharp reversal to the upside. Our robot caught a piece of this move with a precision scalping trade, navigating the volatility to secure final profits.
Session Wrap-Up
When the closing bell rang, our robotic trader had netted a total profit of 205 dollars. A very solid result on a tricky, news-sensitive Tuesday.
After-Hours Glance
Post-close, no tech earnings release, leaving the broader index narrative unchanged for tomorrow’s open.
Summary & Sign-Off
To recap: A volatile session driven by pre-Fed jitters and weakness in mega-cap tech. Selling pressure dominated most of the day, until a late-afternoon buying surge reversed the tide.
Through it all, our trading robot navigated the chaos with discipline, executing multiple long and short positions to secure a 205 dollars net profit

Initial Jobless Claims: 191 K, sharply lower than last week’s 218 K, Continuing Claims: 1.939 Millions, slightly below the prior 1.943 Millions. A stronger labor market usually means the Fed stays hawkish,

Overnight trading was calm and controlled, with the Nasdaq hovering around 26,500 as investors continued to show hesitation. Our algorithm opened the session with a long position right out of the gate, and as Asian markets came online, momentum shifted gently upward. The long position stayed green through the night
with consistent unrealized profit.

At 8:15 AM: ADP payroll came in at –32 K, a sharp drop from the previous 42 K，Market dipped immediately
at 8:30 AM: Export Price Index came in flat. The market sold off hard. Our long position was stopped out for a 124 dollars loss. The algorithm instantly flipped and entered a short position
By 9:00 AM, the slide continued. Big tech names like Microsoft were pushing lower pre-market, and even Bitcoin joined the downside pressure.
At 9:15 AM: Industrial Production came in at 1.62%, up from 0.9%. The selling finally cooled off; the bleeding stopped
The 9:30 AM US Open

A quiet close to a very two-sided trading day.
Summary
Today was a true swing day. The market dipped hard early in the session, led by Microsoft’s slide, but recovered through late morning as stronger economic data rolled in. Our algorithm handled the waves beautifully, pivoting from long to short to long and locking in a net profit of 195 dollars by trading one contract of the e micro Nasdaq futures.

Market News
We had a steady stream of catalysts today.
At 10:00 AM, Construction Spending numbers hit the wire, followed by comments from FOMC member Bowman.
Then at 10:10 AM, we got the latest IBD Economic Optimism reading.
And after the close, CrowdStrike reported earnings, adding a little extra noise to the after-hours tape.
Overnight Session
Overnight trading was quiet, with the Nasdaq drifting lower as investors continued to show frustration and hesitation. Our algorithm opened the session with a short position right off the bat.
But as the Asian markets came online, momentum shifted slightly to the upside. That upward pressure forced our short to close out for a loss.
Morning Session
As Europe opened, sentiment improved. The Nasdaq began recovering from the overnight lows. Our robot closed the remaining short for a small loss and immediately flipped long.
But at 8:30 AM, the market dipped on incoming data. That pullback triggered our long to close for a profit, not only covering most of the earlier loss but tightening our realized drawdown to just 44 dollars.
The 9:30 AM US Open
At the opening bell, the market edged higher. Tech stocks bounced, and Bitcoin reclaimed 89,000 dollars, adding a bit of tailwind to risk assets. Our robot capitalized on the early volatility with a quick trade, reducing realized losses further to 35 dollars.
At 10:00 AM, Construction Spending numbers were released. The market dipped briefly but recovered almost immediately.
Then at 10:10 AM, the IBD Economic Optimism Index came in at 47.9, up from 43.9 previously, but despite the improvement, the market dipped again. Our algorithm seized the opportunity for a clean scalp, bringing realized losses down to just 18 dollars.
Afternoon Session
Through the afternoon, momentum faded. The Nasdaq gradually lost steam, trading in a choppy range. Right before the closing bell, our robot fired off two quick scalping trades, one loss, one win, ultimately pushing our total realized loss to 76 dollars for the day.
After Hours
After hours brought no additional economic data, and aside from CrowdStrike’s earnings, tech earnings were quiet. CrowdStrike whipsawed a bit on its release, but its impact on the Nasdaq index was minimal. And that wrapped up our busy Tuesday trading session.
Summary
Our algorithm finished the day with a 76-dollar loss. It was a challenging environment for swing trades, with directional moves lacking follow-through across sessions.

Overnight Session
The overnight session kicked off with a small upside gap. Our robot opened a long position, but the optimism didn’t last, Bitcoin began crashing hard, sliding toward 86,600, and Nasdaq followed it straight down.

Nasdaq pushed back up, and the trade was closed for a small loss. Realized profit at this point: 154 dollars.
At 11:30 AM, the Atlanta GDP estimate came in unchanged at 3.9%, and the market barely reacted.
Heading into noon, the market dipped again. Our robot attempted another short, but volatility knocked it out for another small loss, bringing realized profit down to 138 dollars. AMD stayed completely flat for us today,
no gains, no losses.
Afternoon Session

After Hours
Nothing significant after the close, no major headlines, no earnings surprises. A calm finish to a very messy day,
with traders still frustrated by Bitcoin’s sudden collapse.
