1) Overnight Futures Snapshot
The overnight setup is bearish — and the session is defined by a broad de-risking move that’s hitting both equities and crypto at the same time.
- SPY: $645.09 (-1.79%)
- QQQ: $573.79 (-2.39%)
- DIA: $459.31 (-1.04%)
- IWM: $247.44 (-1.74%)
That’s not a cute pullback — it’s an opening-hour problem. When the Nasdaq is leading lower into the bell, liquidity thins out fast and dip-buying becomes a timing game. The tape favors defense first until proven otherwise.
