Investors are now focused on the midterm elections later Tuesday, which will determine which party will control Congress. That's because there is a potential for tax hikes, and any kind of massive spending is likely to be viewed as inflationary.

Dow Jones Technical Analysis
Technically, the index’s rise comes with the support of its continuous trading above its simple moving average for the previous 50 days. In front of that the index continues to move along a corrective bearish slope line in the short term, as shown in the attached chart for a (daily) period, with the influx of negative signals on the strength indicators. This is relative, after reaching earlier areas of severe overbought.
Therefore, our expectations still suggest a return to the index's decline during its upcoming trading, throughout the stability of the important 33,272.30 resistance level, to target the first support level, at 31,598.50.
