US Open Briefing — Thu, Sep 24

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

Leaning bullish 58/100

Tone

Both ES and NQ show an overnight downtrend that stabilized into the European morning, transitioning into a tight consolidation just below local resistance. ES has pushed up to test 7,736 while NQ hovers near 30,480, but both lack follow-through to confirm an immediate upside breakout. The pre-market tone leans neutral-to-cautious as price consolidates at the upper bounds of the morning bounce.
