      Published October 29, 2026 · Asia session open · ES & NQ futures, translated to SPY/QQQ
    

Leaning bearish 25/100

Tone

Sellers hold firm control heading into the session following an aggressive late-day liquidation that pushed both ES and NQ to their fresh session lows. Price action shows persistent lower highs and lower lows with zero signs of absorption yet on the lower timeframes. With markets pinned at support floors, the immediate bias remains heavy.
