US Open Briefing — Wed, Oct 28

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

Leaning bearish 42/100

Tone

Both ES and NQ show sharp expansion into multi-session highs followed immediately by an aggressive rejection candle back into the prior range. Price is currently consolidating near mid-range, establishing a neutral-to-cautious balance ahead of the cash session open. Without follow-through above the breakout highs, the tape remains rangebound.
