STLD support and resistance levels

The weekly read is leaning lower. Price ran up into a ceiling near $258.45 about a week ago, and the rules still favor a move lower from here.

  • What started it: Price only had to touch that ceiling at some point during the week — it didn't need to close there.
  • What would call it off: Two weekly closes back above $261.03 — a touch above the $258.45 ceiling, the room the read is given before it's wrong.
  • Where it has room to go: There's room toward its measured target — the first price below where the move is likely to pause.
  • It's already come a long way in that direction.

Nearest auto-detected support sits near $245.15, resistance near $284.76. These are chart/swing-derived levels, not formula pivots.
