US Open Briefing — Mon, Nov 2

      Published November 2, 2026 · US session open · ES & NQ futures, translated to SPY/QQQ
    

Leaning bullish 58/100

Tone

Futures experienced a sharp pre-market expansion higher, with ES and NQ sweeping overnight highs before pulling back to leave noticeable upper wicks. The immediate impulse leans bullish from the overnight lows, but the inability to hold the initial high-volume surge establishes resistance right at the morning extremes. Bias is leaning-up while holding the breakout base, but responsive sellers remain active overhead.
