Correction (2026-10-17): In some entries from this day, a volume zone above the price was called support. A zone above the price is resistance; we corrected these sentences. In one sentence the falling index was "approaching" a zone above the price, while in fact it was moving away from it. We rewrote the day's close, described with cosmic metaphors, in plain language with the same numbers.
