US Open Briefing — Tue, Sep 29

      Published September 29, 2026 · US session open · ES & NQ futures, translated to SPY/QQQ
    

Leaning bearish 33/100

Tone

Both ES and NQ pushed higher early in the pre-market session before encountering sharp rejection off their morning highs and drifting back toward the middle of the morning range. Price action reflects a consolidation phase following a failed breakout attempt, with sellers defending the upper boundaries. Bias leans slightly cautious into the open as both indices compress near their mid-session levels.
