- Trend context: Price remains above MA50 (746.6) and MA200 (660.4), indicating bullish structure on a classical longer-horizon view. Momentum has shifted toward overbought territory (RSI(14) ~ 72.8 on 2025-09-19) while MACD remains positive and expanding.

Technical narrative
- Market structure and trend
- Bullish tilt intact: Price trading above MA50 and MA200; MA50 > MA200 confirms a bullish baseline.
- Recent action shows a test of upper-zone resistance (mid- to high-770s, with intraday prints near 780–781) followed by a pullback, consistent with a bullish consolidation near a rising range.
- RSI reached ~72.8 (9/19), signaling short-term overbought conditions and potential for a shallow pullback or pause before any further upside.
- Momentum
- MACD (12,26,9) is positive and rising; histogram shows positive spacing, suggesting ongoing bullish momentum though nearing typical overheating in the near term.
- RSI hovering above 70 increases probability of a pause or a minor retracement before continuing higher, unless price reduces the overbought condition with a clean breakout.
- Key levels to watch (horizontal lines drawn and extended 100 days forward)
- Support 1 (S1): 750.9
- Rationale: First clear touch in this window (9/11: 750.9); serves as near-term base in the 750–751 area.
- Drawn line: S1 at 750.9, extended to 2025-12-20.
- Support 2 (S2): 738.7
- Rationale: Early Sep/late Aug test around 738–739; provides a lower bound for the downside in the current consolidation.
- Drawn line: S2 at 738.7, extended to 2025-12-07.
- Resistance 1 (R1): 780.2
- Rationale: Recent intraday high prints near 780–781 (9/18). Acts as near-term ceiling in the current leg.
- Drawn line: R1 at 780.2, extended to 2025-12-27.
- Resistance 2 (R2): 764.7
- Rationale: Intermediate peak around 764.7 (9/15) before continuation higher; forms a secondary resistance above the lower support and below the intraday high.
- Drawn line: R2 at 764.7, extended to 2025-12-24.
- Support 1 (S1): 750.9
- 52-Week High/Low (reference only)
- 52-Week High: 796.25 (not yet tested in the latest 60-day window but remains a relevant upside target).
- 52-Week Low: 479.43 (longer-term reference; not a near-term driver).
- Note: These are reference anchors and not primary lines drawn from the present 60-day action.

Momentum and indicator context (summary)
- RSI(14): 72.8 (2025-09-19) – overbought territory; suggests potential near-term pause or shallow pullback unless price defies expectations on a breakout above R1.
- MACD (12,26,9): Positive and rising; bullish momentum intact but watch for diminishing delta if price hesitates near R1.
- Price vs. moving averages: Price remains decisively above MA50 (746.6) and MA200 (660.4) – structure remains bullish; no MA crossovers to report in this window beyond the stated readings.
Key levels in context
- Supports: S1 (750.9) provides a near-term cushion; S2 (738.7) provides a deeper buffer if downside pressure intensifies.
- Resistances: R1 (780.2) is the near-term hurdle; R2 (764.7) is a secondary pivot reflecting prior resistance before the recent breakout.
- The proximity to 52-week high (796.25) provides a potential upside target if a breakout persists above R1 with sustained volume.
Scenarios and invalidation levels
- Bullish scenario
- Trigger: Clean breakout above R1 (780.2) on strong volume.
- Targets: 792–796 vicinity and ultimately the 52-week high around 796.25 (short-term target) with a secondary impulse toward higher ranges if momentum remains constructive.
- Invalidation (bearish risk): A sustained close below S1 (750.9) with volume could suggest a deeper pullback and re-test of S2.
- Bearish scenario
- Trigger: Failure to hold R2 and subsequent breach of S2 (738.7) with expanded volume.
- Target: Re-test of the mid-700s, potentially down toward S1 (750.9) or below if selling accelerates.
- Invalidation (bullish resilience): A daily close above the R1 zone with confirming volume would keep the bullish thesis intact and open to test of the 796.25 level.
