What to Watch
Checkpoints for the next session, drawn only from the levels above:
- A close above 2,656.54 (the 2026-08-13 swing high) would clear the nearest overhead level.
- A close below 2,501.49 (the 2026-09-01 swing low) would break the nearest support.
- The 20-day SMA at 2,594.39 is the short-term trend line to track.
- RSI(14) at 34.90 leaves 35.10 points room before the 70 overbought line.
- Follow-through in the leaders (ULHC, SPL) is the tell for continuation.
Trend Direction
All three moving averages (20-day, 50-day, 200-day) sit above the close. The five-session change is +1.27% (from a close of 2,513.42) and the 21-session change -4.10%, with 4 of the last five closes up and 1 down. Combining price, breadth, the 20-day average and MACD, the rule-based read is negative. Nothing here is advice — it is what the closing data shows.
