📆 Tuesday Open: July 02, 2025 @ 09:30 ET
🕓 Analysis Window: Overnight Globex (18:00 → 09:00 ET) + higher timeframe structure

🔍 Narrative Summary

Globex session saw early rotation and balance above 22700 before distribution accelerated into 22600 during the NY premarket. Notably aggressive selling occurred in the 07:45–08:45 window, particularly at 22660 and 22600, likely responding to ADP data proximity.
