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 2,588.91 is the short-term trend line to track.
- RSI(14) at 32.38 leaves 37.62 points room before the 70 overbought line.
- Follow-through in the leaders (LEC, DOLTI) is the tell for continuation.
Trend Direction
All three moving averages (20-day, 50-day, 200-day) sit above the close. Over five sessions the index is 2,522.66 (from +0.35%) and over 21 sessions -4.47%; the last five closes were 3 up and 2 down, with a 2-session losing streak now. 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.
