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 2,615.91 is the short-term trend line to track.
- RSI(14) at 58.61 leaves 11.39 points room before the 70 overbought line.
- Follow-through in the leaders (BENH, MAKAR) is the tell for continuation.
Next Session Outlook
Rule-based read for the next session: NEUTRAL — the index closed lower, decliners outnumbered advancers, the close is above the 20-day average and the MACD histogram is positive. The reference levels are the nearest swing high at 2,671.04 (2026-09-23) and below, the swing low at 2,629.22 (2026-08-12). Treat this as a summary of what the tape shows, not as advice.
