The U.S. index has halted the advance of its recent bullish moves near this resistance zone, mainly because the market is awaiting the release of the Federal Reserve minutes later today, along with Nvidia’s earnings report, expected after the stock market close. For now, investor anticipation has created a neutral sentiment in the index's recent movements as it approaches the 42,500-point resistance, and these upcoming events are likely to provide deeper insight into the market’s direction in the coming sessions.
Possible Bullish Channel
Since early April, the Dow Jones has shown consistent buying movements, attempting to maintain a potential bullish channel. So far, there have been no signs of significant bearish corrections in the price, which suggests that the current bullish pattern remains the dominant structure to monitor in the short term. However, a strong selling correction could put this trend at risk.
Neutrality Intensifies:
MACD: The MACD histogram continues to hover around the zero line, reflecting a sustained equilibrium in the momentum of the moving averages. This highlights a lack of clear direction in the market over the short term.
ADX: The ADX line remains below the 20 level, indicating that volatility is low, a condition not seen since February of this year.
Both indicators point to persistent neutrality, likely driven by market indecision ahead of key fundamental events, as well as the technical resistance zone, which is currently limiting price advances.
Key Levels to Watch:

Key Levels to Watch:
- 42,500 points: Current resistance level aligned with the 200-period moving average. It may act as a potential point for bearish corrections.
- 43,800 points: A distant resistance level not seen since February. If the price rallies to this level, it could reinforce the current bullish formation and strengthen the prevailing upward channel.
- 41,100 points: A key support aligned with the 50-period moving average. A drop near this level could jeopardize the bullish formation and potentially shift momentum toward a bearish bias.
