While below the 26000 psychological target, (50% Fibo of May swing high low range), short term stochastics had corrected higher giving more room for the bears to capitalise upon. A break to the 25200s guard a run to 24500s and then 50% of the upside run made at the end of Dec at 24150. On the upside, a break above 50% Fibo and 25620s and the descending resistance could be a challenge ahead of the 61.8% Fibo and 25700s. Bulls would then target an eventual break of 26000 which opens the 38.2% Fibo target at 26126 ahead of the 26300s, around the Nov and Fed peaks.
