XLP support and resistance levels

Price is bouncing off a floor near $84.61 and starting to climb. On the weekly chart, the next ceiling overhead sits near $98.27 — about 15% away.

  • Traders commonly watch $98.27 as a target (its 261.8% 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 $84.61 floor, where price is testing it now, not out here in the climb. Chasing once price pulls away tends to be worse odds.
