XLV Support and Resistance Levels

Price is bouncing off a floor near $157.57 and starting to climb. On the weekly chart, the next ceiling overhead sits near $171.00 — about 7% away.

Traders commonly watch $171.00 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 $157.57 floor, where price is testing it now, not out here in the climb. Chasing once price pulls away tends to be worse odds.
