Dow Jones Industrial Average:

On the Weekly, price has recently bounced off our 1st resistance at 35610.57 which is a graphical swing high and is on a bearish momentum. We forecast a potential trend reversal towards our 1st support at 31552.9 in line with 23.6% Fibonacci retracement. Divergence detected in stochastics depicting lower highs, signalling trend reversal. Alternatively, if prices break 1st resistance, the trend reversal could occur at 2nd resistance at 36613.85 in line with 161.8% Fibonacci extension.  Our moving average is also forecasting the change in direction.

On the Daily chart, price drifted lower below 1st resistance at 35600.

On the H4, price rose higher overnight, surpassing previous resistance. Price is now holding between 1st resistance at 35104 and 1st support at 34510.

Areas of consideration:

  • 4H support at 34510
