Breakout or Correction?
Using the previous 20 sessions (2,501.49 to 2,657.44) as the box, breakout means closing above it and correction means closing below it. Today's close of 2,545.40 is inside that range, so neither a breakout nor a breakdown was confirmed. The close is -14.28% from the 52-week high of 2,969.50 and +3.08% above the 52-week low of 2,469.37.
Range Context
The intraday span was 35.21 points (1.37% of the prior close), with the close sitting 6.19% up from the low of the range. Over the last 20 sessions the index has spanned 2,501.49 to 2,656.54; the 52-week range is 2,469.37 (2025-10-26) to 2,969.50 (2026-03-25), leaving the close -14.28% from the 52-week high and +3.08% above the 52-week low.

A swing point here is a high or low that beats the three sessions either side of it. The 20-day band is 2,501.49 to 2,656.54.
Technical Snapshot
Technically, the close is below the 20-day SMA of 2,594.39 (-1.89%), below the 50-day SMA of 2,631.93 (-3.29%), below the 200-day SMA of 2,688.93. The 14-day RSI sits at 34.90, which is neutral territory. The MACD(12,26,9) line is at -32.16 with the signal at -28.44, leaving a negative histogram of -3.72, and the gap is narrowing.
Trend Direction
All three moving averages (20-day, 50-day, 200-day) sit above the close. Five sessions back the index was at +1.27%, so it is 2,513.42 since then and -4.10% over 21 sessions; the last five closes split 4 up, 1 down. Price, breadth, the 20-day average and MACD together score the close as negative under the fixed rules used here. Nothing here is advice — it is what the closing data shows.
