Asia Open Briefing — Fri, Aug 28

      Published August 28, 2026 · Asia session open · ES & NQ futures, translated to SPY/QQQ
    

Leaning bearish 25/100

Tone

Both ES and NQ experienced severe liquidation after tagging overhead highs at 7,778 and 29,788, returning straight back into the lower reaches of their multi-day base. Price action into the session close compressed into tight sideways consolidation just off the recent session lows. Bias remains heavy following the sharp rejection, with markets testing baseline support.
