Asia Open Briefing — Wed, Sep 16

Published September 16, 2026 · Asia session open · ES & NQ futures, translated to SPY/QQQ
Leaning bearish 42/100
Tone

Both ES and NQ show a sharp initial selloff into the session open followed by a steady multi-bar bounce from the lows. The recovery has brought price back toward prior breakdown pivots around 7621.75 on ES and 29265 on NQ, but structural follow-through remains capped below the earlier session highs. The overall bias is leaning-down to sideways as the market tests overhead resistance from beneath.
