Dow Jones Technical Analysis
Technically, the index confirmed its recent decline to break the 29,653.30 pivotal support level, this level that we had referred to in our previous reports. We also considered the dominance of the short-term bearish trend along a slope line, with the negative pressure continuing to trade below the simple moving average for the previous 50 days, as it is. All this is shown in the attached chart for a (daily) period, but in front of that, we notice the beginning of a positive crossover on the RSI indicators, after reaching oversold areas, which may curb the index's upcoming losses.
Therefore, we expect the index to continue declining during its upcoming trading, especially throughout its stability below the level of 29,653.30, to target the support level of 28,402.50.
