Dow Jones Technical Analysis
Technically, the index is trying with its recent decline to reap the profits of its recent rises. At the same time, it is trying to drain some of its clear buying saturation with the relative strength indicators, especially with the emergence of a negative crossover in them. It gathered the positive forces that may help it recover and rise again, considering its being affected by the composition of Positive technical formation on the short term, which is the double bottom pattern, as shown in the attached chart for a (daily) period.
But in front of that, the main dominant trend remains the bearish corrective trend on the short term along a slope line, with the negative pressure continuing to trade below the simple moving average for the previous 50 days.
Therefore, our expectations suggest that the index will rise cautiously during its upcoming trading, provided it remains above the level of 30,454.50, to target the 31,885.00-resistance level.
