Leaning bullish 58/100

Tone

Both ES and NQ recovered sharply from their earlier session lows and are now consolidating near the upper third of their respective ranges. While upward momentum paused around the 7,810–7,815 area on ES and 30,950 on NQ, price continues to compress tightly just beneath these local highs rather than giving back ground. The session enters London with a mild leaning-up posture, awaiting confirmation of a breakout through resistance.
