Asia Open Briefing — Mon, Sep 28

      Published September 28, 2026 · Asia session open · ES & NQ futures, translated to SPY/QQQ
    

Leaning bearish 25/100

Tone

Price action carries a distinctly heavy, bearish tone into the Asia open after a sharp selloff into the 8:00 PM hour drove both ES and NQ to session lows. Downward expansion followed by weak, low-volume consolidation at the bottom of the range reflects clear seller control and a lack of aggressive dip-buying interest.
