Range Context
The intraday span was 19.69 points (0.76% of the prior close), with the close sitting 59.83% up from the low of the range. Over the last 20 sessions the index has spanned 2,524.55 to 2,679.90; the 52-week range is 2,469.37 (2025-10-26) to 2,969.50 (2026-03-25), leaving the close -12.58% from the 52-week high and +5.12% above the 52-week low.

On the rule set (price, breadth, 20-day average, MACD) the read is cautious. Nothing here is advice — it is what the closing data shows.
