What to Watch
Checkpoints for the next session, drawn only from the levels above:
- A close above 2,671.04 (the 2026-09-23 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 2,606.81 is the short-term trend line to track.
- RSI(14) at 66.32 leaves 3.68 points room before the 70 overbought line.
- Follow-through in the leaders (BENH, BPCL) is the tell for continuation.

Levels to watch: the nearest swing high at 2,671.04 (2026-09-23) and below, the swing low at 2,629.22 (2026-08-12). It reflects the closing numbers only; it is not investment advice.
