Published August 23, 2026 · London session open · ES & NQ futures, translated to SPY/QQQ
Leaning bearish 42/100
Tone

Price action across ES and NQ leans defensive as both indices consolidate near their recent session lows following a multi-day selloff. ES continues to struggle below the 7,700 area, while NQ remains pinned beneath its 29,400 pivot. Without an impulsive bid to reclaim overhead breakdown levels, the near-term bias remains tilted toward continued pressure on local supports.
