Leaning bearish 42/100

Tone

Price action into the Asia open is characterized by rotational chop on ES while NQ holds near session highs following an earlier expansion. ES remains capped below the 7,845 region after repeated upper-wick rejections, settling into a sideways drift around 7,831.50. Broad participation is subdued on compressed overnight candle ranges against a quiet macro news tape.
