VMC Support and Resistance Levels

Price is bouncing off a floor near $267.47 and starting to climb. On the weekly chart, the next ceiling overhead sits near $379.75 — about 33% away.

  • Traders commonly watch $379.75 as a target (its 161.8% extension) — think of it as a sensible next stop, not a guarantee.
  • That ceiling is the first place the climb might pause — worth watching how price behaves as it gets there.
  • There's nothing to act on here — the spot to watch was the $267.47 floor just now, when price bounced there, but price has already pulled higher. What's left is the climb playing out, not a fresh starting point.

Nearest auto-detected support sits near $267.47, resistance near $308.86. These are chart/swing-derived levels, not formula pivots.
