Asia Open Briefing — Fri, Sep 4

      Published September 4, 2026 · Asia session open · ES & NQ futures, translated to SPY/QQQ
    

Leaning bullish 58/100

Tone

Both ES and NQ pushed into overhead supply near 7,735 and 29,600 before seeing upper wicks and a minor stall into the session close. Price remains elevated within the broader range following the recovery from early September lows, but upward momentum paused at clear prior breakdown zones. The immediate tone leans cautious as buyers attempt to absorb resistance without surrendering recent swing gains.
