Technical Analysis – Dow Jones Index (DJIA)
From a technical standpoint, the is taking a breath just shy of its all-time highs.
However, a golden cross pattern has occurred hinting at the bullish momentum still in play, which together with trade deal optimism does bode well for further upside.
A deeper pullback toward the 50 and 200-day MA first cannot be ruled out. The confluence area around 43000 could be perfect for potential longs and provide a better risk to reward as well.
