From last week,

The rally this week put out a new high and has four closes above the 6443.00 major high and this will again be the key level for the week. 

Use 6443.00 as the swing point for the week again.

Below it,...... Any setback that holds 38.2% back to the 8/1/25 low at 6408.00 keeps the trend extremely positive and a new high can quickly follow.

It did trade well below 38.2% at 6408.00 and had one close below it, however Friday's rally closed back above the 6443.00 major Gann square and this will again be the key level for the week. This rally that all started in April from the 23.6% retracement back to the 2009 low at 4850.00 has had few setbacks and most of them could not get back to, or close to a 23.6% retracement back to the April low. The setback on 4/21/25 had one close below 38.2% at 5265.00 and the next day was right back above it and the market went on a $700 rally. The next setback fell short of 23.6% at 5720.00 on 5/23/25  and then went on another $700 rally. Showing how strong this market is, For the next setback we had to retrace back to the tightest level that we could and that was on 5/23/25.  The setback on 8/1/25 had one close below 23.6% back to the 5/23/25 low at 6290.00, also a major Gann square and went on to a new high. Proving to be even stronger the market could not take out 38.2% back to the 8/1/25 low at 6408.00, it always needs two close below to negate the level. We will again be looking for the long term targets above.

Use 6443.00 as the swing point for the week again.

Above it, our long term target area is 7214.00 to 7230.00, this another cluster of major Gann squares just like the 6102.00 to 6142.00 cluster that sent the market down to 4850.00. Before then there are only major Gann squares to look for resistance and then use as the swing point when closed above. The next two are 6594.75 and 6752.00.

Below it, the short term target is the previous major Gann square at 6290.75, this is also 78.6% back to the 8/1/25 low. The longer term target is 23.6% back to the 4/7/25 low at 6116.00. The long term target and swing point is 38.2% back to the same low at 5875.00.
