ES NQ futures levels closed Tuesday with ES at $6860.0 and NQ at $24762.5.
Not the wildest session. But ES NQ futures levels don’t need drama to matter.
The Tuesday Range
ES traded a 16.00-handle range between $6848.75 and $6864.75. That’s actually telling you something.
NQ moved 82.50 handles from low to high ($24700.75 to $24783.25). Similar story.
When ranges tighten like this? One of two things happens. You get continuation or you get the break. That’s it.
ES NQ Futures Levels That Matter Monday
Here’s what I’m watching when futures open Sunday night:
Resistance: $6864.75 – We tagged this Tuesday but couldn’t hold above it. If we gap above and hold, that’s your signal for continuation higher.
Support: $6848.75 – Held all day Tuesday. Break below and we’re probably testing the next zone down. I don’t trade the first break. I wait for the retest and see if it holds or flips to resistance.
Current level: $6860.0 – Right in the middle of nowhere. No bias either way until one of those levels breaks.
What About NQ?
NQ futures levels are doing the same dance. Closed at $24762.5 after testing $24783.25 as resistance.
The thing about ES NQ futures levels? They move together most of the time. So if ES breaks higher, NQ probably follows. Same downside.
But NQ tends to move bigger. So your risk management better account for that if you’re trading it.
The Setup for Next Week
No setup yet. That’s the point.
Choppy ranges like this kill more accounts than clean trends. Why? Because traders force entries that aren’t there yet.
Wait for the break. Let it prove itself. Then trade the retest.
If ES holds above $6848.75 through Monday morning, bias leans bullish. Below? Then we’re watching for support tests.
For Prop Traders
If you’re running an evaluation or funded account, this is where discipline matters more than entries.
Tight ranges = tight stops. That means you need smaller size or you’re getting stopped out on noise.
Don’t blow your daily loss limit trying to catch the break. Wait for confirmation. Boring wins evals. Heroics blow them.
Bottom Line
ES NQ futures levels: $6860.0 and $24762.5 as of Tuesday close. Range-bound until proven otherwise.
Watch the breaks. Trade the retests. Skip the chop.
