XLC Support and Resistance Levels

Price is bouncing off a floor near $109.71 and starting to climb. On the weekly chart, the next ceiling overhead sits near $117.48 — about 4% away.

Traders commonly watch $117.48 as a target (its 78.6% 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 $109.71 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 $112.73, resistance near $113.87. These are chart/swing-derived levels, not formula pivots.
