Below the market the first swing low is 2,629.22, printed on 2026-08-12 and 2.46% beneath the close.

What to Watch
Checkpoints for the next session, drawn only from the levels above:
- The close is at a 60-session high; the 52-week high of 2,969.50 is the next reference.
- A close below 2,629.22 (the 2026-08-12 swing low) would break the nearest support.
- The 20-day SMA at 2,610.69 is the short-term trend line to track.
- RSI(14) at 71.77 leaves no room before the 70 overbought line.
- Follow-through in the leaders (BENH, SOPL) is the tell for continuation.
Next Session Outlook
On the rule set used here the next-session read is POSITIVE, because the index closed higher, advancers outnumbered decliners, the close is above the 20-day average, the MACD histogram is positive and RSI is in the overbought zone. Marking the chart: support at the 2,629.22 swing low (2026-08-12). It reflects the closing numbers only; it is not investment advice.
