XEL support and resistance levels

Price is bouncing off a floor near $74.72 and starting to climb. On the weekly chart, the next ceiling overhead sits near $88.19 — about 16% 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 $74.72 floor, where price is testing it now, not out here in the climb. Chasing once price pulls away tends to be worse odds.
