Here&#8217;s the rundown of what we saw:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8:30 AM,<\/strong> FOMC member Williams delivered remarks, although the market didn\u2019t show much immediate reaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>10:00 AM,<\/strong> Existing home sales data was released, along with the Michigan 1-year inflation expectations and Michigan consumer sentiment. The market was watching these closely for any signals of economic strength or weakness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notably, <strong>no tech companies<\/strong> were scheduled to release earnings after the bell today, which kept the tech sector\u2019s immediate movements a bit more predictable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Overnight Session<\/strong><br>The market reopened at <strong>6:00 PM<\/strong>, and Nasdaq futures started off relatively quiet. As <strong>Asian markets<\/strong> began to stir, Nasdaq futures edged higher, prompting our system to enter a long position. However, before midnight, the market saw a slight dip, and our long position was closed out for a loss of <strong>136 dollars<\/strong>. A rough start to the evening, but we moved forward with the knowledge that volatility can be unpredictable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Morning Session (European &amp; US Open)<\/strong><br>When the <strong>European markets<\/strong> opened, we saw the market begin to trend downward. Our system quickly adjusted, entering a short position to take advantage of the downward momentum. At <strong>8:30 AM<\/strong>, as FOMC member Williams spoke, the market didn\u2019t react strongly to the remarks, which left us watching for the next catalyst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By <strong>9:15 AM<\/strong>, the market began to regain some momentum, prompting us to close our short position for a loss, bringing our total loss for the morning to <strong>200 dollars<\/strong>. It wasn\u2019t ideal, but we\u2019ve learned that staying adaptable is key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>9:30 AM US Stock Market Open<\/strong><br>When the US market opened, volatility picked up. At <strong>10:00 AM<\/strong>, the Michigan 1-year inflation expectation was released, showing a drop to <strong>4.2%<\/strong> from the previous <strong>4.5%<\/strong>, while Michigan consumer sentiment came in at <strong>54.6<\/strong>, higher than the previous <strong>51<\/strong>. This sparked a significant market jump, and as a result, we closed our short position, realizing a <strong>351 dollars<\/strong> loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seeing the upward momentum, our trading system quickly adjusted, and we entered a long position to capitalize on the rally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Afternoon Session &amp; Close<\/strong><br>As we moved into the afternoon, the market continued to edge higher, driven by strong performance in the AI sector with <strong>Oracle<\/strong> and <strong>Micron<\/strong> leading the charge. The market hit the <strong>25,500 level<\/strong>, prompting us to close our long position for a profit, reducing our total loss to <strong>251 dollars<\/strong>. Meanwhile, our <strong>AMD trade<\/strong> performed strongly, bringing in <strong>795 dollars<\/strong> in profit. By the end of the day, we netted a total profit of <strong>544 dollars <\/strong>\u2014not a bad way to finish the week!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>After-Hours Session<\/strong><br>After the bell, with no tech earnings releases on the schedule, the market settled down, marking the close of our trading day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Summary &amp; Key Takeaways<\/strong><br>In summary, today was an up day for the market, especially considering it was a triple witching Friday\u2014a typically volatile day. Despite some early losses, we finished the day with a <strong>544<\/strong> dollars gain by trading just one E-mini futures contract and 100 shares of <strong>AMD<\/strong>. This week has been solid, with <strong>4 winning days<\/strong> and <strong>1 losing day<\/strong>, totaling a <strong>1,595<\/strong> dollars profit for the week. Definitely a good week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today is December 19, 2025, and this is your Daily Nasdaq Futures Recap\u2014the show where we break down every major market move, uncover the key data points that shaped the day, and dive deep into each trade executed by our algorithmic trading system. let\u2019s get straight into the action!
