Stoxx600: Daily Read | 2026-10-20

STOXX 600 (SXXP) is trading near 639.6, 0.8% lower on the day and holding in the upper half of its one-month range. The one-month average sits near 636.5, and price is above it, so that line is the pivot the two-way traffic keeps returning to. Momentum has firmed over the last two weeks, roughly 2.1% up, leaving the structure as a recovery attempt, back above the one-month average but still under the longer one. The levels that matter are 645.7 overhead, the past month’s swing high, about 1.0% above here, with 622.9 below as the shelf that has held, roughly 2.6% down; the 640.0 and 630.0 round numbers are the nearer handles. Zoom out and the last three months have ranged between 618.1 and 663.4, which frames the bigger picture. For now the tilt is mixed: a close above 645.7 would open room toward 663.4, while losing 622.9 would put 618.1 back in view.

Key levels: support 622.9 (2.6% below), resistance 645.7 (1.0% above), one-month average 636.5, three-month range 618.1 to 663.4.
