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 2,546.69 (the 2026-07-14 swing low) would break the nearest support.
- The 20-day SMA at 2,594.63 is the short-term trend line to track.
- RSI(14) at 44.44 leaves 25.56 points room before the 70 overbought line.
- Follow-through in the leaders (TVCL, SABBL) is the tell for continuation.
Next Session Outlook
Scoring the close by fixed rules gives NEUTRAL: the index closed higher, advancers outnumbered decliners, the close is below the 20-day average and the MACD histogram is negative. Levels to watch: the nearest swing high at 2,656.54 (2026-08-13) and below, the swing low at 2,546.69 (2026-07-14). It reflects the closing numbers only; it is not investment advice.
