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 $88.19 — about 13% away.

Traders commonly watch $88.19 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 yet — the spot to watch is right at the $77.73 floor, where price is testing it now, not out here in the climb. Chasing once price pulls away tends to be worse odds.

Nearest auto-detected support sits near $77.73, resistance near $80.05. These are chart/swing-derived levels, not formula pivots.
