It’s December 26, 2025, and you’re watching the Daily Nasdaq Futures Recap.
Today, we’re breaking down the post-holiday price action, analyzing the macro landscape, and doing a deep dive into every trade executed by our algorithmic system. Let’s jump right into the data!”
Market News & Landscape
“Today is Boxing Day, and as expected, the ‘holiday hangover’ was in full effect. While some investors returnedb to their desks, many remained offline, leading to a notably light economic calendar.
With no major tech earnings to act as a catalyst after the bell, the market lacked a clear fundamental direction, keeping volatility compressed and the overall environment relatively calm.”
The Overnight Session
“The market reopened at 6:00 PM with Nasdaq futures essentially flat, hovering right around the 25,880 level. With European markets closed for the holiday, we saw extremely thin liquidity and narrow ranges. It was a classic ‘quiet night’ on the charts, with very little participation from the big institutions.”
Morning Session & The US Open
“As we rolled into the morning, the sideways grind continued. Around 6:30 AM, we saw a slight push higher, prompting our algorithm to signal a long entry.
However, the 9:30 AM US Cash Open brought a bit of a mixed bag:
Tech Sector: We saw early dips in Tesla, Palantir, and Intel.
Nvidia: Provided a bright spot, showing strength as it broke above the 191 level.
Alternatives: Silver and Bitcoin both caught a bid, with Bitcoin testing the 89,500 mark.
Despite these individual moves, the index itself remained trapped in a tight range. That initial long position was eventually stopped out for a small loss. Our system quickly pivoted into another long, followed by a few scalping attempts before noon. By the mid-day break, we were sitting at a modest 47 dollars loss.”
Afternoon Session & Close
“The afternoon didn’t bring much of a volume surge. In these thin conditions, the robot identified a short opportunity that we closed for a quick profit, narrowing our daily loss to 38 dollars.
In the final stretch before the closing bell, the system executed two more trades—one loser and one winner. We ultimately wrapped up the session with a total loss of 45 dollars for the day. In a low-liquidity environment like today, the goal is often capital preservation, and we managed to keep the drawdown very tight.”
Summary & Key Takeaways
“To wrap things up: Today was a textbook Boxing Day session. With limited participants and a lack of ‘market-moving’ data, the Nasdaq simply lacked the momentum needed for a breakout.
The Weekly View:
Trading Days 3 and a half Days
Total Weekly Profit 224 dollars
Given the holiday distractions and the thin volume, finishing the week up 224 dollars is a solid result for just one contract of the e micro futures. It’s all about staying consistent and letting the system work, even during the slow weeks.”
