Leaning bullish 58/100

Tone

Price action is holding steady near recent consolidation highs on ES after grinding back up from overnight lows around 7848, while NQ remains heavy near the lower end of its range around 30880. Structural divergence persists across index futures heading into the European morning with ES showing constructive higher lows against NQ's sluggish bounce off support. The tape reflects balanced overnight rotation rather than aggressive trend expansion.
