Leaning bullish 75/100

Tone

Price action across both ES and NQ has stabilized into a tight upper-range consolidation following the sharp recovery from morning lows. Bulls have established a shelf above 7,800 on ES and 30,900 on NQ, though upside momentum is moderating as candles begin compressing against nearby resistance. Bias leans mildly constructive as long as these reclaimed structural shelves hold through the open.
