KLAC Support and Resistance Levels

Price was turned away at a ceiling near $325.65 about 5 weeks ago and has been sliding since. On the weekly chart, the next floor below sits near $128.50 — still about 34% away.

  • Traders commonly watch $128.50 as a target (its 100% retracement) — think of it as a sensible next stop, not a guarantee.
  • That floor is the first place the slide might steady — worth watching how price behaves as it gets there.
  • There's nothing to act on here — the spot to watch was the $325.65 ceiling about 5 weeks ago, when price was turned away there, but price has already pulled lower. What's left is the slide playing out, not a fresh starting point.

Nearest auto-detected support sits near $128.50, resistance near $281.82. These are chart/swing-derived levels, not formula pivots.
