NQ Tags Its Weekly Median Twice

Tuesday, October 20, 2026

MedianReclaim tagged NQ's Weekly median at 29604.75 twice overnight. The first tag came at 9:09 p.m. ET, touched at 29602. The second came at 5:59 a.m. ET, touched at 29616.5. NQ is trading under that level now. From Monday's 6 p.m. ET reopen to the run, the UW board sent 17 prints: 16 hourlies, 1 Daily, 0 Weekly. MedianReclaim sent 13 tags, which is 10 Daily median tags and 2 Weekly median tags once the repeat NQ tag is counted one time. Every count is a Discord alert from imbalance-alert-router.

The one Daily print was crude. CL Daily bear 100.97 was touched at 7:31 a.m. ET. There were no UW prints on ES, NQ, YM or RTY overnight. So the index story this morning comes from the median tags and from where price sits against Monday's range.

Here's the backdrop. ES and NQ traded under Monday's low overnight and are still under it. RTY dipped under Monday's low and got back over. YM ran Monday's high and gave it back. Every index is still inside its daily expected move. Yesterday's RTH Market Prep had sell levels on top of NQ and RTY. This morning NQ is lower, and it's working under its Weekly median.

Here's what the board printed, session by session, and what we're doing about it.
