Key weekly support is located at the 6551/50 level, followed by the 6530/20 and 6445/44 levels. A move back below the latter might lead to increased selling pressure on the index. Important weekly resistance is situated at the 20week SMA (currently located at the 6860/70), followed by the 6900 and 7000 levels, a clear break and stability above the latter might lead to further acceleration to the upside.
