XLV Support and Resistance Levels

Price is being turned away at a ceiling near $169.70 and starting to slide. On the weekly chart, the next floor below sits near $153.53 — about 8% away.

Traders commonly watch $153.53 as a target (its 38.2% retracement) — think of it as a sensible next stop, not a guarantee.
That floor is the first place the slide might steady — worth watching how price behaves as it gets there.
There's nothing to act on yet — the spot to watch is right at the $169.70 ceiling, where price is testing it now, not out here in the slide. Chasing once price pulls away tends to be worse odds.

Nearest auto-detected support sits near $157.63, resistance near $169.70. These are chart/swing-derived levels, not formula pivots.
