Overnight / Pre-market in 8 lines
- NQ is the clear risk leader: 27,934.5 at 06:52 ET, up +338.5 / +1.23% vs Yahoo chart previous close, with an overnight range of 27,818.2–27,959.0.
- ES is firmer but less explosive: 7,254.8, up +11.0 / +0.15%, overnight range 7,235.8–7,261.8.
- CL is heavy after yesterday’s volatility: 104.23, down -0.84 / -0.80%, overnight range 103.08–105.35.
- GC is under pressure despite still holding above yesterday’s lower tail: 4,552.7, down -62.0 / -1.34%, overnight range 4,537.0–4,570.5.
- DXY is firm at 98.49, up +0.41 / +0.42%, which is a headwind for gold and a check on index upside if rates reprice higher.
- VIX is softer at 17.68, down -1.13 / -6.01%, supporting the equity bid into the open.
- 10Y yield last Yahoo snapshot was Monday 14:55 ET at 4.45%, up from 4.35% previous close; use today’s cash-rate open as confirmation.
- Net read: equities have a risk-on setup, but the 10:00 ET data cluster can change the tape quickly.
Today’s catalysts (ET)
- 08:30: U.S. Trade Balance — forecast -61.0B, previous -57.3B.
- 09:45: Final Services PMI — forecast 51.3, previous 51.3.
- 10:00: ISM Services PMI — forecast 53.7, previous 54.0; JOLTS Job Openings — forecast 6.86M, previous 6.88M; New Home Sales also scheduled.
- 10:00 / 12:30: FOMC speakers Bowman and Barr.
- 16:30: API Weekly Statistical Bulletin — relevant for CL into the evening.
Trade plans (futures)
NQ — Plan
- Bias: Bullish while above the overnight low; avoid chasing if 10:00 ET data rejects the breakout.
- Key levels: 27,818.2 / 27,876.4 / 27,934.5 / 27,959.0 / 27,965.8.
- 08:00–16:00 (if-then): If buyers accept above 27,959–27,966, then look for trend continuation; if that zone rejects, expect rotation back toward 27,876.
- 20:00–23:00 (if-then): If RTH closes above 27,959, evening bias is continuation; if it closes back under 27,876, expect mean reversion toward 27,818.
- Invalidation: Sustained trade below 27,818 flips the setup from breakout to failed auction.
ES — Plan
- Bias: Constructive but lagging NQ; needs acceptance above the overnight high to confirm broad risk-on.
- Key levels: 7,235.8 / 7,243.8 / 7,254.8 / 7,261.8 / 7,274.5.
- 08:00–16:00 (if-then): If ES reclaims and holds 7,262, then target a test of 7,274.5; if it loses 7,244, fade toward 7,236 first.
- 20:00–23:00 (if-then): If price holds above 7,255 after the cash close, expect controlled continuation; below 7,244, evening setup becomes mean-reversion/lower.
- Invalidation: A clean break below 7,235.8 says NQ strength is too narrow to trust.
CL — Plan
- Bias: Bearish-to-neutral while below 105.35; energy needs a reclaim before longs have quality.
- Key levels: 103.08 / 103.66 / 104.23 / 105.35 / 107.46.
- 08:00–16:00 (if-then): If CL holds below 104.79–105.35, sell rallies toward 103.66/103.08; if it reclaims 105.35, squeeze risk opens toward 107.46.
- 20:00–23:00 (if-then): After the 16:30 API bulletin, a hold below 104.23 favors continuation lower; a reclaim of 105.35 flips evening bias to short-covering.
- Invalidation: Sustained trade above 105.35 invalidates the morning bearish lean.
GC — Plan
- Bias: Bearish while DXY stays firm and gold remains below 4,570.5.
- Key levels: 4,510.1 / 4,537.0 / 4,552.7 / 4,570.5 / 4,626.5.
- 08:00–16:00 (if-then): If GC rejects 4,570.5, favor shorts toward 4,537 and then 4,510.1; if it reclaims 4,570.5, cover shorts and look for mean reversion.
- 20:00–23:00 (if-then): If RTH settles below 4,552.7, evening setup is continuation lower; above 4,570.5, expect mean reversion toward yesterday’s upper range.
- Invalidation: Acceptance above 4,570.5 plus a softer dollar invalidates the bearish setup.
Execution checklist (today)
- Do not add size into the 10:00 ET ISM/JOLTS release; wait for the first reaction and reclaim/reject.
- Treat NQ strength as valid only if ES confirms above 7,262.
- For CL, separate pre-API trades from post-API trades; the evening window has a fresh catalyst.
- For GC, watch DXY: firm dollar + failed gold reclaim is the cleaner short setup.
- If VIX reverses back above 18.02, reduce equity breakout conviction.

隔夜 / 盘前(8 条要点)
- NQ 是最强的风险资产代表:06:52 ET 报 27,934.5,较 Yahoo 图表前收盘上涨 +338.5 / +1.23%,隔夜区间 27,818.2–27,959.0。
- ES 偏强但力度弱于 NQ:报 7,254.8,上涨 +11.0 / +0.15%,隔夜区间 7,235.8–7,261.8。
- CL 在昨日大幅波动后偏弱:报 104.23,下跌 -0.84 / -0.80%,隔夜区间 103.08–105.35。
- GC 承压,但仍高于昨日下影线区域:报 4,552.7,下跌 -62.0 / -1.34%,隔夜区间 4,537.0–4,570.5。
- DXY 偏强,报 98.49,上涨 +0.41 / +0.42%;这对黄金不利,也会在利率重新定价时限制股指上行。

- 10 年期美债收益率 Yahoo 最新快照为周一 14:55 ET 的 4.45%,高于前收 4.35%;今日现金市场开盘后需再确认。

交易计划(期货)
NQ — 计划
- 偏向: 只要守住隔夜低点,偏多;但如果 10:00 ET 数据后突破被否定,不追高。
- 关键价位: 27,818.2 / 27,876.4 / 27,934.5 / 27,959.0 / 27,965.8。
- 08:00–16:00(if-then): 如果买方接受 27,959–27,966 上方,那么看趋势延续;如果该区间被拒绝,预期回转至 27,876。
- 20:00–23:00(if-then): 如果日盘收在 27,959 上方,晚间偏向延续;如果重新跌破 27,876,预期均值回归至 27,818。
- 失效条件: 持续跌破 27,818,说明突破结构转为失败拍卖。
ES — 计划
- 偏向: 结构偏建设性但落后于 NQ;需要接受隔夜高点上方,才能确认广义风险偏好。
- 关键价位: 7,235.8 / 7,243.8 / 7,254.8 / 7,261.8 / 7,274.5。
- 08:00–16:00(if-then): 如果 ES 收复并守住 7,262,那么目标测试 7,274.5;如果跌破 7,244,先看回落至 7,236。
- 20:00–23:00(if-then): 如果现金盘收盘后仍在 7,255 上方,预期温和延续;低于 7,244,晚间结构转为均值回归/下行。
- 失效条件: 明确跌破 7,235.8,说明 NQ 的强势太窄,不宜信任。
CL — 计划
- 偏向: 低于 105.35 时偏空至中性;原油需要收复该位,多头质量才更高。
- 关键价位: 103.08 / 103.66 / 104.23 / 105.35 / 107.46。
- 08:00–16:00(if-then): 如果 CL 保持在 104.79–105.35 下方,反弹偏空,目标 103.66/103.08;如果收复 105.35,则打开向 107.46 的挤空风险。
- 20:00–23:00(if-then): 16:30 API 公报后,如果仍低于 104.23,晚间偏向继续走低;如果收复 105.35,晚间偏向转为空头回补。
- 失效条件: 持续站上 105.35,早盘偏空观点失效。
GC — 计划
- 偏向: 只要 DXY 偏强且黄金低于 4,570.5,偏空。
- 关键价位: 4,510.1 / 4,537.0 / 4,552.7 / 4,570.5 / 4,626.5。
- 08:00–16:00(if-then): 如果 GC 在 4,570.5 被拒绝,偏向做空至 4,537,再看 4,510.1;如果收复 4,570.5,空头应减仓,并考虑均值回归。
- 20:00–23:00(if-then): 如果日盘收在 4,552.7 下方,晚间偏向延续下行;高于 4,570.5,预期向昨日上方区间均值回归。
- 失效条件: 接受 4,570.5 上方,同时美元走弱,则偏空结构失效。
执行检查清单(今天)
- 不要在 10:00 ET ISM/JOLTS 数据公布前后盲目加仓;等待第一波反应后的收复/拒绝。
- 只有 ES 确认站上 7,262,才把 NQ 强势视为更可靠。
- CL 要区分 API 公报前与公报后的交易;晚间窗口有新的催化剂。
- GC 重点看 DXY:美元偏强 + 黄金收复失败,是更清晰的空头结构。
- 如果 VIX 重新上穿 18.02,降低股指突破信心。
