XLU Support and Resistance Levels

Price is bouncing off a floor near $44.49 and starting to climb. On the weekly chart, the next ceiling overhead sits near $49.77 — about 8% away.

Traders commonly watch $49.77 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 $44.49 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.
