Analysis
The S&P 500 trades at 7,623.42, down 1.26%, showing bearish momentum as it remains below the SMA20 (7,732.07) and SMA50 (7,697.95), though still above the rising SMA200 (7,309.97). The RSI-14 at 36 suggests mild oversold conditions but leaves room for further downside. A cluster of Double Top patterns (50-59% confidence) reinforces the bearish bias. Immediate resistance lies at R1 (7,796.50), while support levels are at S1 (7,294.91) and lower. The descending 20-day trendline resistance (7,747.75) caps upside, while the ascending 50-day support (7,596.69) offers near-term stability. A break below 7,600 could accelerate declines toward S1. The broader uptrend remains intact unless SMA200 support fails.

Analysis
The Dow Jones Industrial Average trades at 52,123.93, down 0.42%, with the RSI-14 at 54 indicating neutral momentum. The index remains above the SMA20 (52,012.99) but below the SMA50 (52,218.49), suggesting near-term consolidation. A cluster of bearish Double Top patterns (50-95% confidence) signals potential downside pressure, though the broader uptrend is supported by the SMA200 (50,607.21). Immediate resistance lies at R1 (52,748.45), while S1 (51,144.26) offers key support. The 20-day trendline support (51,919.56 ascending) aligns with the SMA20, reinforcing a near-term floor. A break below this level could test deeper supports, while overcoming R1 may invalidate bearish patterns and target R2 (53,819.65).

Analysis
The Nasdaq 100 declines 2.63% to 28,629.49, testing key support levels amid weakening momentum. The RSI-14 at 44 remains neutral but leans bearish as price trades below all key SMAs (20, 50, 200), reinforcing the downtrend. Three double top patterns—two with 50% confidence and one at 84%—suggest potential further downside. Resistance at 29,847.83 (R1) caps upside, while support at 28,030.18 (20-day descending trendline) is critical. A break below this level could accelerate selling toward 24,822.98 (S1). The descending 20-day resistance at 29,664.85 and 50-day resistance at 32,254.29 maintain structural bearish pressure unless decisively breached.

Analysis
The Nasdaq Composite declines 2.14% to 25,625.28, extending bearish momentum as price remains below all key SMAs (20d=26,685.07, 50d=26,577.91). The RSI-14 at 36 confirms weakening momentum but avoids oversold territory. Three confirmed Double Top patterns (50-84% confidence) reinforce downside bias, with immediate resistance at R1 26,288.95. Support holds at the ascending 200d SMA (25,056.69), though breach risks test of S1 22,572.19. Descending 20d trendline resistance (26,448.74) caps rebounds, while 50d support (25,478.00) nears breakdown. The index shows bearish alignment across technical indicators, with sustained trade below 20d/50d SMAs favoring continuation toward lower supports unless R1 is reclaimed decisively.

Analysis
The Russell 2000 trades at 2,822.30, down 1.29%, with the RSI-14 at 40 indicating neutral momentum. The index remains above the SMA20 (2,791.39) but below the SMA50 (2,859.78), suggesting mixed near-term sentiment. A cluster of bearish double-top patterns (50-57% confidence) signals potential downside risk, though confirmation is needed. Immediate resistance lies at R1 (2,886.44), while support is seen at S1 (2,721.44). The 20-day trendline shows ascending support near 2,728.33, but descending 50-day resistance at 2,865.00 reinforces overhead pressure. A break below SMA20 could accelerate selling toward S1, while reclaiming SMA50 may shift bias neutral. The broader trend remains rangebound between the SMA200 (2,805.21) and SMA50.

Analysis
The NYSE Composite declines 0.56% to 24,379.97, testing near-term support at 24,202.54 amid weakening momentum as the RSI-14 remains neutral at 49. The index trades above all key SMAs (20d, 50d, 200d), suggesting underlying strength, but faces resistance at 24,552.86. Three unconfirmed double top patterns (50% confidence) signal potential bearish reversal risks, though the broader uptrend remains intact with the 200d SMA at 23,476.06. Immediate resistance at 24,843.02 caps upside, while support levels at 23,206.97 and 22,607.23 provide downside buffers. The 50-day descending resistance at 24,506.94 reinforces the current consolidation phase, requiring a breakout for directional conviction.

Analysis
The S&P 400 MidCap index declines 0.96% to 3,671.52, testing near-term support levels as bearish pressure persists. The RSI-14 at 38 indicates weakening momentum but remains above oversold territory. Price hovers between the SMA20 (3,652.56) and SMA50 (3,685.77), with the SMA200 (3,648.79) providing a key floor. Resistance is firm at 3,711.84 (R1), while support holds at 3,565.28 (S1). Multiple Double Top patterns suggest bearish reversals, reinforced by descending 50-day trendline resistance at 3,708.73. A break below SMA200 could accelerate selling toward S2 (3,288.34). Near-term bias remains cautious unless price reclaims R1, confirming bullish invalidation.
