US Open Briefing — Sun, Aug 30

      Published August 30, 2026 · US session open · ES & NQ futures, translated to SPY/QQQ
    

Leaning bearish 42/100

Tone

Futures are stabilizing in lower-mid range territory following a sharp late-session selloff from the highs. Both ES and NQ have halted their descent near multi-session base support and are consolidating tightly heading into the open. The immediate bias leans cautious until price can reclaim breakdown levels above.
