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 2,605.78 is the short-term trend line to track.
- RSI(14) at 57.75 leaves 12.25 points room before the 70 overbought line.
- Follow-through in the leaders (HEI, MFIL) is the tell for continuation.
