US Open Briefing — Sun, Sep 20

Published September 20, 2026 · US session open · ES & NQ futures, translated to SPY/QQQ
Leaning bullish 75/100
Tone

Both ES and NQ pushed sharply higher heading into the session, driving straight into major multi-week resistance zones near 7,728 on ES and 30,000 on NQ. After the initial vertical impulse, price has begun stalling with narrow consolidation and minor upper wicks just below those highs. While the short-term trend structure remains firmly upward, failure to clear these structural peaks leaves the tape vulnerable to a pause or mean reversion.

On the calendar

The economic calendar is exceptionally light with major foreign bank holidays and no high-impact US macro prints scheduled. Price action is likely to be guided primarily by technical interaction at multi-week highs and broader geopolitical headline developments.
