Why I Watch the Market Before the US Open

Before the US cash session opens, I want to understand the environment NQ is entering.

Where is price relative to the overnight high and low? Is the market trending or rotating? Are important economic announcements approaching?

These questions help me build context without committing to a direction too early.

The opening can bring new volume and a change in behavior, so the overnight structure isn't a guarantee of what happens next.

Preparation gives me reference points. The market still has to provide the setup.
