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 2,629.22 (the 2026-08-12 swing low) would break the nearest support.
- The 20-day SMA at 2,581.44 is the short-term trend line to track.
- RSI(14) at 60.99 leaves 9.01 points room before the 70 overbought line.
- Follow-through in the leaders (MSHL, FMDBL) is the tell for continuation.
Next Session Outlook
Scoring the close by fixed rules gives POSITIVE: the index closed higher, advancers outnumbered decliners, the close is above the 20-day average and the MACD histogram is positive. The reference levels are resistance at the 2,656.54 swing high (2026-08-13) and below, the swing low at 2,629.22 (2026-08-12). Treat this as a summary of what the tape shows, not as advice.
