Leaning bullish 67/100

Tone

Both ES and NQ open the week drifting near the upper boundary of their broader multi-day ranges after grinding higher into the close. Current price action on the intraday pane shows tight consolidation just below the session highs, reflecting steady structure but muted opening momentum. Holding these recent intraday shelf levels keeps the broader upward drift intact.
