Leaning bullish 58/100

Tone

Both ES and NQ spent the overnight session carving out a bottom before pushing a steady string of higher lows into the morning. Price is currently pushing back into the mid-range after recovering from early morning lows, testing overhead resistance areas. Bias leans mildly upward into the open, though conviction remains typical for a pre-market session.
