NY session printed a violent two-way move — a spike to 78007 was fully reversed in a single bar back to 76723.51, leaving a clear rejection wick at the reflex high. Price is now mid-range around 76922, with the swing low at 76446.81 still the key downside reference and 77405–77598 capping the bounce.

Support: 76,723.51, 76,446.81

Resistance: 78,007.09

What it said to watch

  • M15 close back above 77598 would invalidate the rejection read at the reflex high
  • Break of 76446.81 swing low confirms continuation of the downtrend
  • ATR is elevated post-spike; expect wider bar ranges than earlier in the session
