Brian Shannon: Early trading in ES_F and NQ_F sees markets struggle with new VWAP levels
Markets face resistance at new VWAP levels

Early trading in ES_F and NQ_F futures was described as not very impressive, with both markets contending with the new week-to-date VWAP and the VWAP from last week’s low.

Brian Shannon, founder and full-time trader at AlphaTrends, shared this assessment along with chart observations and cautioned that overnight moves do not always influence how the markets open.

Shannon previously reviewed major stock tickers and Bitcoin trends for the week ending October 9, 2026 in an analysis of market activity. He has also stated that price considerations outweigh fundamentals and seasonality when making trading decisions, according to a separate commentary. These perspectives inform his ongoing market assessments.
