Asia Open Briefing — Wed, Aug 26

Published August 26, 2026 · Asia session open · ES & NQ futures, translated to SPY/QQQ
Leaning bullish 58/100
Tone

Futures experienced a sharp spike into multi-day resistance before rapidly selling off, leaving pronounced upper wicks on the 15-minute timeframe. While the broader swing structure from the recent lows remains intact, the aggressive failure to sustain the breakout above the prior range highs keeps the session tone neutral-to-cautious.

Key levels — futures & ETF equivalents
ES spike resistance 7744 (SPY ~$774.40)
ES range support 7670 (SPY ~$767.00)
NQ spike resistance 29650 (QQQ ~$723.17)
NQ shelf support 29150 (QQQ ~$710.98)
