Daily Technical Analysis

The main trend is up according to the daily swing chart. The only pattern trend traders have to worry about is a potentially bearish closing price reversal top.

The main range is 24086 to 24703. Its retracement zone at 24395 to 24322 is new support.

Daily Technical Forecast

Based on the early price action, the direction of the Dow today is going to be determined by trader reaction to yesterday’s close at 24646.

A sustained move over 24646 will indicate the presence of buyers. If the buying is strong enough then look for a breakout over today’s intraday high with the first target the steep uptrending Gann angle at 24726.

Crossing to the strong side of the angle at 24726 and sustaining the move will put the Dow in a bullish position.

A sustained move under 24646 will signal the presence of sellers. This will also put the Dow in a position to form a daily closing price reversal top. A close under this level could lead to the start of a 2 to 3 day correction with the first major target coming in at 24481.
