US Open Briefing — Sat, Sep 5

      Published September 5, 2026 · US session open · ES & NQ futures, translated to SPY/QQQ
    

Leaning bullish 58/100

Tone

Both index futures are consolidating in sideways ranges beneath their recent breakout highs, with ES pausing around 7,720 and NQ holding near 29,540. While the larger multi-day impulse remains intact from last week's lows, immediate price action shows muted consolidation following the pullback from the upper range. Tone is neutral to cautiously constructive as price holds above prior shelf support.
