Next Session Outlook
On the rule set used here the next-session read is NEGATIVE, because the index closed lower, decliners outnumbered advancers, the close is below the 20-day average and the MACD histogram is negative. The reference levels are overhead, the swing high at 2,656.54 (2026-08-13) and support at the 2,501.49 swing low (2026-09-01). Treat this as a summary of what the tape shows, not as advice.
