Dow Jones Technical Analysis
Technically, the index's decline came as a result of the stability of the important 34,281.36 resistance level, to try to drain some of its clear overbought with the relative strength indicators. Especially with the start of negative signals from them, to gather its positive forces that may help it to penetrate that resistance in the future, considering its impact on the breach of the slope line. A bearish correction earlier in the short term, as shown in the attached chart for a (daily) time period, is supported by its continuous trading above its simple moving average for the previous 50-day period.
Therefore, our expectations suggest that the index will rise again during its upcoming trading, as long as the 33,248.60 support level remains stable, especially if it breaches the aforementioned 34,281.36 resistance, to then target the 35,372.26 resistance level.
