Asia Open Briefing — Thu, Sep 24

      Published September 24, 2026 · Asia session open · ES & NQ futures, translated to SPY/QQQ
    

Leaning bearish 42/100

Tone

Price action across both ES and NQ has softened into the evening, with ES pressing down toward its session baseline after a series of lower highs. While low-volume compression dominates the early overnight tape, structure leans defensive following the step-down from afternoon peaks. As long as horizontal support near 7,750 holds, the immediate drift remains contained within the lower end of the visible range.
