Nov 25, 2025 Profit $926
Today is Tuesday, November 25th, 2025, and this is your Daily Nasdaq Futures Recap, the show where we break down every move, every catalyst,
and of course every single trade
our algorithm fired off throughout the session.
Let’s jump right into it!
Market News
We had a busy pre-holiday economic calendar today:
At 8:30 AM Core PPI and PPI were released, followed by Core Retail Sales
At 9:00 AM House Price Index
At 10:00 AM Business Inventories and Pending Home Sales, Followed by the Richmond Services Index
At 11:30 AM 52-Week Bill Auction
And on top of that, a packed after-hours earnings slate from Alibaba, NIO, Dell, HP, and Best Buy.
Overnight Session
The futures opened at 6:00 PM, but as expected for Thanksgiving week, the overnight action was extremely quiet，thin volume, tight ranges, nothing unusual.
Morning Session
Volatility picked up once the European markets opened. At 8:30 AM, the economic data hit:
Core PPI: +0.1% (previous –0.1%)
PPI: 2.7% (slightly above the prior 2.7%)
Core Retail Sales: +0.3% (cooling from 0.6%)
The market initially moved higher, but momentum faded quickly and the index rolled to the downside.
Our algorithm’s long position was stopped out, resulting in a 136 dollars loss. The robot then flipped short，
perfect timing.
The 9:30 AM Open
At the opening bell, tech stocks got hit hard:
AMD down 8%
Nvidia down 6%
The Nasdaq dropped to 24,602, and our short position climbed to 400 dollars in unrealized profit.
By 9:50 AM, the market bounced from the lows, and our short position closed for a gain, fully recovering earlier losses and bringing realized profit to 258 dollars. Meanwhile, an AMD short trade added another 610 dollars in profit. Before noon, the robot took a series of quick trades, bringing Nasdaq realized profit to 308 dollars.
Afternoon Session
The afternoon started quietly, with a few swing trades pushing realized gains to 367 dollars. Then momentum returned, Nasdaq broke above 25,000, and our algorithm caught a strong long setup. That trade pushed Nasdaq profit to 405 dollars, while AMD profit reached 521 dollars. Total profit for the day: 926 dollars.
After Hours
Earnings from Alibaba and Dell landed, but had minimal impact on the index. That wrapped up a surprisingly active Tuesday session.
Summary
A classic down-then-up reversal today, morning weakness followed by an afternoon recovery. Our system handled both sides:
405 dollars profit trading 1 Micro Nasdaq futures contract
521 dollars profit trading 100 shares of AMD
Total: 926 dollars in realized gains
