A swing point here is a high or low that beats the three sessions either side of it. The 20-day band is 2,524.55 to 2,679.90.
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 2,596.11 is the short-term trend line to track.
- RSI(14) at 43.05 leaves 26.95 points room before the 70 overbought line.
- Follow-through in the leaders (GHL, IHL) is the tell for continuation.
Next Session Outlook
Rule-based read for the next session: NEGATIVE — the index closed lower, decliners outnumbered advancers, the close is below the 20-day average and the MACD histogram is negative. Levels to watch: overhead, the swing high at 2,656.54 (2026-08-13) and the nearest swing low at 2,546.69 (2026-07-14). Treat this as a summary of what the tape shows, not as advice.
