The 14-day RSI sits at 69.67, which is neutral territory. MACD(12,26,9) prints 18.61 versus a 7.82 signal line; the histogram is positive at +10.79 and widening session on session.
Support and Resistance
The nearest swing low below the close is 2,629.22 (set on 2026-08-12), 2.26% under the close. No swing high sits above the close in the last 60 sessions, so the 52-week high of 2,969.50 (2026-03-25) is the next reference. Swing points are local extremes over a three-session window on each side; the 20-day band runs 2,557.30 to 2,712.99.
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 2,613.70 is the short-term trend line to track.
- RSI(14) at 69.67 leaves 0.33 points room before the 70 overbought line.
- Follow-through in the leaders (BENH, SMFBS) is the tell for continuation.
Next Session Outlook
Scoring the close by fixed rules gives NEUTRAL: the index closed lower, decliners outnumbered advancers, the close is above the 20-day average and the MACD histogram is positive. Levels to watch: support at the 2,629.22 swing low (2026-08-12). This is a description of the closing data, not a forecast or a recommendation.
