Analysis
The S&P 500 trades at 7,714.31 (+0.49%), testing near-term resistance at 7,758.89 while hovering below the SMA20 (7,729.30). The RSI-14 at 43 suggests neutral momentum, though three unconfirmed double-top patterns (50-59% confidence) hint at potential bearish reversal risks. Immediate support lies at 7,624.48 (S1), with stronger levels at 7,294.91 (S2) and 7,611.56 (20D trendline). The index remains above key SMAs (SMA50: 7,696.84; SMA200: 7,298.83), maintaining a broader uptrend. A break above 7,758.89 could target R1 (7,796.50), while failure to hold 7,611.56 may trigger a test of lower supports. Mixed signals emerge as ascending 50D trendline support (7,619.92) contrasts with descending 20D resistance.

Analysis
The Dow Jones Industrial trades at 52,391.89, up 0.06%, with the RSI-14 at 54 indicating neutral momentum. The index remains above the SMA20 (51,817.10) but below the SMA50 (52,271.26), suggesting near-term consolidation. Multiple bearish Double Top patterns (50-95% confidence) signal potential downside risk, though the ascending 20-day support (52,232.25) provides a short-term floor. Resistance is seen at R1 (53,344.60), while S1 (51,144.26) offers initial support. The descending 50-day resistance (52,856.28) reinforces overhead pressure, while the 200-day SMA (50,562.23) confirms the broader uptrend. A break below the 20-day support could accelerate declines toward S2 (48,127.01).

Analysis
The Nasdaq 100 trades at 29,557.79, up 0.97%, with the RSI-14 at 46 indicating neutral momentum. The index remains below its SMA20 (30,134.28) and SMA50 (29,805.02), signaling short-term bearish pressure, though it holds above the rising SMA200 (27,873.81). Resistance levels are noted at 29,847.83 (R1), 30,626.05 (R2), and 31,361.37 (R3), while supports sit at 28,660.40 (S1), 24,234.50 (S2), and 22,863.22 (S3). Three Double Top patterns are observed, with confidence levels ranging from 50% to 84%, suggesting potential bearish reversals. Short-term trendlines show descending resistance at 29,630.34 (20-day) and flat support at 28,831.07 (50-day). A break above SMA20 could shift near-term bias, but bear

Analysis
The Nasdaq Composite closes at 26,418.24 (+0.95%), remaining below key SMAs (20d: 26,810.27; 50d: 26,583.28), signaling near-term bearish pressure. The RSI-14 at 41 suggests mild oversold conditions but lacks strong reversal momentum. Resistance at R1 (26,764.98) aligns with the descending 20-day trendline (26,446.09), reinforcing a near-term ceiling. Support holds at S1 (25,787.44), near the 50-day flat trendline (25,870.82). Three confirmed Double Top patterns (50-84% confidence) indicate potential downside, though the index remains above critical support levels. The 200-day SMA (25,019.17) underscores a broader uptrend, but failure to reclaim the 20/50-day SMAs may prolong consolidation. Watch for a break below S1 to confirm bearish continuation.

Analysis
The Russell 2000 trades at 2,801.25 (+0.53%), testing near-term resistance at the descending 20-day trendline (2,801.22) while remaining below key SMAs (SMA50 at 2,870.05, SMA200 at 2,802.16). The RSI-14 at 37 suggests mild bearish momentum, though not oversold. Three double-top patterns (50-57% confidence) indicate potential downside risk, with immediate support at S1 (2,721.44). A break below the 20-day descending support (2,687.02) could accelerate declines toward S2 (2,477.35), while overcoming resistance at R1 (2,886.44) would challenge the bearish structure. The index remains in a broader downtrend, with the 50-day descending resistance (2,801.25) capping upside attempts.

Immediate resistance lies at 24,249.32 (50d descending trendline), while support holds at 24,098.55 (20d ascending trendline). A break below could test S1 at 23,206.97. The 200-day SMA (23,450.46) provides a key long-term floor. The market shows mixed signals, with bearish patterns conflicting with moving average support, requiring confirmation for directional bias.

The index remains below key SMAs (SMA20: 3,644.36, SMA50: 3,694.73), reinforcing short-term bearish pressure, though the SMA200 at 3,645.55 offers nearby support.

Multiple Double Top patterns (65%, 95%, 64% confidence) suggest bearish reversal risks. Short-term trendlines show ascending support near 3,592.99 and descending resistance at 3,665.46 (20-day), while the 50-day trendlines highlight weakening support.
