Falling Wedge · playing out now

XEL just broke higher out of a falling wedge — a brief, tidy pause inside a strong run. That's usually a breather before another push up.

On this chart, setups like it have followed through about 64% of the time.

As long as price stays above $76.88, the setup is intact — a daily close back below there is the cue to step away.

A natural first target sits near $83.76 — but moves like this often run further. The simple way to follow the rest is to stay with the 10-day average, and only step aside when a day closes below it.

XEL Support and Resistance Levels

Price is bouncing off a floor near $77.73 and starting to climb. On the weekly chart, the next ceiling overhead sits near $87.72 — about 9% away.

Traders commonly watch $87.72 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 $77.73 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.
