Today is Wednesday, November 26th, 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 batch of data hitting this morning at 8:30 AM:
Core Durable Goods Orders
Core PCE Prices
Continuing Jobless Claims
Q3 GDP
Initial Jobless Claims
After hours, there were no major earnings releases, so it was quiet on that front.
Overnight Session
The overnight session was calm and controlled. Once the Asian markets opened, the Nasdaq edged higher,
and for the rest of the night it held steady, hovering right around 25,000 after a solid recovery.
Morning Session
Heading into the morning, the Nasdaq continued a slow, steady climb.
When the 8:30 AM data dropped:
Continuing jobless claims came in at 1,960 thousand,
slightly above the previous 1,953 thousand.
Durable goods orders rose 0.6 percent,
a touch stronger than the prior 0.5 percent.
Initial jobless claims came in at 216 thousand,
a bit lower than the previous 222 thousand.
A mixed set of signals — and the market reflected that.
The 9:30 AM Open
At the opening bell, price action was choppy. Our algorithm took a long trade, but momentum quickly shifted
At 10:00 AM, Chicago PMI hit at 36.3, well below the previous 43.8, and the market dipped sharply. Our robot entered a short position
By 10:50 AM, momentum flipped again, and our robot closed the short position for a loss and shifted back to a long position. Realized loss was now 114 dollars.
Just before 11:15 AM, Nasdaq broke above 25,300, and the long position hit an unrealized profit of 156 dollars.
Meanwhile, our long position on AMD Brought in 376 dollars net realized profit.
Afternoon Session
At 12:30 PM, the Atlanta Fed GDP estimate came in at 3.9 percent, just a hair below the previous 4 percent reading. The market barely reacted.
By 2:00 PM, we saw another small dip, but once again the Nasdaq recovered quickly.
Overall, the afternoon stayed incredibly stable, no big swings, no sudden volatility.
After Hours
No major tech earnings, no major headlines, a quiet close to a quiet pre-Thanksgiving session.
Summary
Overall, it was a calm trading day. Nasdaq spent most of the session hovering near 25,300. Meanwhile,
the crypto market continued its strength, now up three days in a row.
Bitcoin even reclaimed 90,000 level heading into the holiday, a bullish sign for crypto investors.
As for our performance:
75 dollars profit on the e-Micro Nasdaq futures
376 dollars net profit on AMD
bringing our total gains for the day to 451 dollars.
