Futures firm ahead of payrolls; all three US indices fail the filters

At 11:00 UTC the US index futures are up 0.44-0.66% from the cash close, with VIX at 15.97, well below the 25 threshold. Estimated cash prices are built from each future's move since the 20:00 UTC print applied to the cash close; the basis is stable (0.6-0.9% over six sessions), so no roll. US 500 is estimated at 7,700, just 0.41 ATR14 (69.6 points) above its 20-day average of 7,671: below the 0.5 ATR floor, that is noise, not trend. US Tech 100, estimated at 30,703, sits 2.17 ATR above its average of 29,841: entering now would be chasing. US 30 is the only one below its average (51,161 vs 51,980), but 1.60 ATR away, just past the 1.5 limit, and this morning it is moving against the short. On top of that, the September payrolls report lands at 12:30 UTC, putting every index inside the [T-4h, T+30min] macro blackout. No idea published; no positions open. Single stocks are assessed only in the evening review, once the cash session gives verifiable prices.
