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 2,557.30 (the 2026-10-06 swing low) would break the nearest support.
- The 20-day SMA at 2,604.36 is the short-term trend line to track.
- RSI(14) at 50.96 leaves 19.04 points room before the 70 overbought line.
- Follow-through in the leaders (SMJC, OHL) is the tell for continuation.
Next Session Outlook
Scoring the close by fixed rules gives NEUTRAL: the index closed higher, decliners outnumbered advancers, the close is below the 20-day average and the MACD histogram is positive. Levels to watch: overhead, the swing high at 2,656.54 (2026-08-13) and below, the swing low at 2,557.30 (2026-10-06). This is a description of the closing data, not a forecast or a recommendation.
