US Open Briefing — Thu, Oct 29

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

Leaning bearish 25/100

Tone

Both ES and NQ show sharp intraday pullbacks into the opening bell following steep overnight liquidations from earlier highs. Price action is pressing near the lower bounds of the session range, testing overnight base support while overhead levels at 7774 on ES remain firm ceilings. The immediate tone leans defensive until buyers can demonstrate structural stabilization above the morning lows.
