$NVDA and $MU Rebound as $SPX Remains Trapped Near Key Levels
U.S. stocks closed higher on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, driven by a rebound in semiconductor companies and a pullback in oil prices and Treasury yields. Investors largely downplayed escalating geopolitical and trade headlines, focusing instead on key events scheduled for later in the week.
$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ moved within the range of daily levels posted yesterday, with 210 serving as the Central Daily Level and 213 as the next level if the price stayed above it. There is still work to do to recover the central weekly level and completely flip momentum. However, a positive for the bulls, though it does not guarantee a bullish reaction to the earnings report is that the gaps analyzed in the Weekly Compass at 213 and 208.7 were cleared yesterday with the bearish move, leaving a clean pathway in case of a bullish reaction to tomorrow’s earnings report.
$Micron Technology(MU)$ also moved constructively. Although still below the central weekly level, it managed to trade between the levels posted yesterday: 911.5 and 935.
Daily and longer-timeframe levels help anticipate the zones where institutional algorithms are likely to react, and today was no different.
When analyzing the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ , the central daily level (CDL) for today posted yesterday was 7,653, with resistance layers above at 7,669.3 and 7,685.9. With work still required to recover the key weekly level modeled since Friday and posted below, the SPX remains muted this week. Such narrowing price ranges usually precede big moves, and this behavior could continue tomorrow.
The charts present a clear reference of how institutional algorithms react to these levels modeled in advance.
