are you just trying to talk the market down to your breakeven point or really analyzing what you are seeing....
I am just saying what I am seeing. My average price is 7378 on NQ. Obviously would like this head and shoulders to fail.. but need to be objective here. Same pattern on ES, NQ and YM ... but 1 min chart so could be meaningless.
My experience is that we don't dump into the close when in a long term uptrend and we've had a full on uptrend Fri. I don't see any obvious reason to be short here.
No one should be trying to make their nut on a Friday afernoon in August trend or especially counter trend.
