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 2,557.30 (the 2026-10-06 swing low) would break the nearest support.
- The 20-day SMA at 2,606.17 is the short-term trend line to track.
- RSI(14) at 56.61 leaves 13.39 points room before the 70 overbought line.
- Follow-through in the leaders (ULBSL, GVL) is the tell for continuation.
Trend Direction
The close is above 2 of the three moving averages (20-day, 50-day and 200-day). Five sessions back the index was at +1.90%, so it is 2,572.34 since then and +2.41% over 21 sessions; the last five closes split 5 up, 0 down, with a 5-session winning streak now. Price, breadth, the 20-day average and MACD together score the close as positive under the fixed rules used here. It summarises the tape; it is not a forecast.
