DOW JONES 1D MA50 supporting huge Inverse H&S push!Dow Jones (DJIA) has been trading within a Channel Up for the past 15 months. The pattern that could be the strongest driving force however in the coming weeks is an Inverse Head and Shoulders (IH&S), which is about to complete its Right Shoulder. As you can see this is being strongly supported by the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) in the past 30 days and every such IH&S pattern in the last 2 years broke to the upside and hit at least its 1.382 Fibonacci extension. The 1D RSI sequences between those IH&S fractals are identical and the current RSI Bearish Divergence matches perfectly all previous Right Shoulder formations that preceded the 1.382 Fib push. As a result, a 46400 Target would be an ideal technical Higher High for the Channel Up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

DOW JONES: Triangle about to break out.Dow Jones is neutral on its 1D technical outlook (RSI = 53.474, MACD = 190.020, ADX = 26.060) as it is trading inside a Triangle pattern, sideways around the 4H MA50. A crossing over the R1 level will be a long aiming at the 2.0 Fibonacci extension (TP1 = 48,000), while a crossing under the S1 level will be a short aiming at Fib 0.0 (TP = 42,000). ## If you like our free content follow our profile to get more daily ideas. ## ## Comments and likes are greatly appreciated. ##

DOW JONES One last drop below the 1D MA50 is possibleDow Jones (DJIA) has found itself in an uncomfortable spot as it's been trading sideways within the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) and Resistance 1 of the December 2024 High, for the past two weeks. The 1D RSI has already started trending downwards on a Bearish Divergence while the 1D MACD just completed a Bearish Cross. The times we've seen all those conditions fulfilled within the 2-year Channel Up, are in mid-May 2024 and early May 2023. On both occasions, the price got rejected on Resistance 1 and pulled back below the 1D MA50 to form a Higher Low. After the 1D MACD formed a Bullish Cross, the price confirmed a technical reversal and targeted the 1.5 Fibonacci extension before the next pull-back. As a result, you might want to keep a buy order waiting for a sub-MA50 drop and buy once a MACD Bullish Cross is formed to target 46500 (Fib 1.5 ext). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

DOW JONES: Necessary correction to lated target 46,600.Dow Jones is neutral on its 1D technical outlook (RSI = 53.301, MACD = 170.540, ADX = 30.319) as it is trading sideways on top of the 1D MA50 for the past 2 weeks. The long term pattern is a Channel Up that every time it rebounded on a HL bottom and hit the R1, it always pulled back again to test the 1D MA50. Consequently, this is a necessary technical correction that will allow the index to attract enough buying momentum again to go after a new HH. Aim for a minimum +8.41% increase (TP = 46,600). ## If you like our free content follow our profile to get more daily ideas. ## ## Comments and likes are greatly appreciated. ##

DOW JONES Can the 1D MA50 save the day once more?Dow Jones (DJIA) has been trading within a year long Channel Up and this week's pull-back has so far found Support just above the 1D MA50 (red trend-line). As this chart shows, every 1D MA50 contact that was made after a Channel Up bottom (Higher Low), was a buy opportunity as the blue arc patterns highlight. The green arcs are the Channel bottoms and technically the strongest buy opportunities and in the past 10 months we've only had 3 of those. This is the 4th blue arc however, the medium-term buy opportunity. Regardless of colour, the 4H RSI pattern on each of those buy opportunities, has been the same. And the resulting rally has either hit the 1.5 Fibonacci extension or made a +8.33% rise. This time the 1.5 Fib is a bit closer to the price, so that will be our medium-term Target at 46750. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

DOW JONES: Buy signal above the 4month RectangleDow Jones just turned bullish on its 1D technical outlook (RSI = 56.676, MACD = 255.440, ADX = 30.051) as it hit the 4H MA50 after an instant rebound on the 4H MA100 inside the same session. This is a strong bullish reversal but the buy signal will be validated if the price crosses over the 4month Rectangle pattern. The rally from its January 13th bottom has been with a significant correction until Friday's and today so far and according to the November rally which was two-fold, if this is the start of the 2nd bullish stage, it should be -1.70% weaker than the first. This implies that from today's low we should rise by +6.30%. This gives us a TP = 46,550 but in order to overcome the bearish pressure of the Rectangle, we will buy only if then price crosses over it.

Dow Jones Likely Trending Up in the Next Four YearsCBOT: Micro E-Mini Dow Jones Futures ( CBOT_MINI:MYM1! ) #Microfutures The United States will enter a new presidency on Monday, January 20th. Will the stock market continue its upward trend under the 47th U.S. President? Before we set our sight on the future, it’s prudent to look back in history first. While it is not a guarantee for future performance, history does provide good intelligence. To find clues for our answer, I conducted an analysis on the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA). How the Dow Performed Under Different Presidencies My research setup is as follow: • I look at DJIA daily close prices for the past 50 years (from Aug. 1974 to Jan. 2025). This period covers 9 presidents and 13 four-year presidential terms. • For all the presidents, I use their Inauguration Day January 20th as the start day, while setting the end day for January 19th four years later. I compare the changes in DJIA closing prices from start to finish for each 4-year term. • The exceptions: Gerald Ford, who started his term on August 9, 1974, after Richard Nixon resigned; and Joe Biden, for whom I use the latest trade day January 15th. Here is what I found: • Gerald Ford (Aug. ‘74 – Jan. ’77): DJIA went up 181.7 points (+23.4%) • Jimmy Carter (Jan. ’77 – Jan. ’81), down 8.4 points (-0.9%) • Ronald Reagon (Jan. ’81 – Jan. ’89), up 1,288.1 points (+135.5%). The data can be further broken down to +68.6% in his 1st term and +45.7% in the 2nd term • George H.W. Bush (Jan. ’89 – Jan. ’93), up 1,020.6 points (+45.7%) • Bill Clinton (Jan. ’93 – Jan. ’01), up 7,345.6 points (+226.6%), including +110.8% in the 1st four years and +54.7% in the 2nd four years • George W. Bush (Jan. ’01 – Jan. ’09), down 2,306.4 points (-21.8%), for which -0.4% and -20.9% for his 1st and 2nd terms, respectively • Barack Obama (Jan. ’09 – Jan. ’17), up 11,783.3 points (+148.2%), including +71.7% in the 1st term and +44.6% in the 2nd term • Donald Trump (Jan. ’17 – Jan. ’21), up 11,060.2 points (+55.8%) • Joe Biden (Jan. ’21 – Jan. ’21), up 12,202.8 points (+39.5%) Dow Jones advanced the most points under current administration (+12,203 points), with Obama coming in 2nd for 11,783 points. The DJIA index gained the most in percentage terms under the Clinton administration (+226%). Across all nine presidents, DJIA was lower for one, flat for another, but moved up 7 out of 9 times. If you look deeper into the worst-performing years under George W. Bush, you will find that 9/11 terrorist attack happened in his first term and the 2008 financial crisis occurred in his second term. Both can be considered extreme events and outliners in the dataset. Regardless which political party commands the White House, the Dow is more likely to move up than down. From the first day Gerald took office to the last week of the Biden administration, DJIA went from 777 to 43,133, a huge gain of 5,449%! Trading with Micro E-Mini Dow Jones Futures The above analysis gives us comfort in the upward mobility of the US stock market. Further analysis of the DJIA shows strength in its Top 5 component companies. • As of January 15th, DJIA went up 15.5% in the past 12 months • Gold Sachs, which holds an 8.2% share by index weight, was up 57.5% in a year • 1-year returns for the other top components are: United Health (+4.2%), Microsoft (+9.0%), Home Depot (+12.2%), and Caterpillar (+31.5%) An investor may simply deploy the time-honored “Buy and Hold” strategy. The longer the holding period, the better the returns, barring extreme circumstances. Given that the DJIA is trending up over the long run, active traders may consider using stock index futures to enhance their investment returns. Micro E-Mini Dow Jones futures (MYM) offer smaller-sized versions of CME Group’s benchmark Dow Jones futures (YM) contracts. Micro futures have a contract size of 0.5 times the DJIA index, which is 1/10th of the standard contract. CME data shows that the E-Mini and Micro Dow Jones futures have a combined open interest of 103,077 contract as of this Monday. According to the CFTC Commitment of Traders report, as of January 7, 2025, Leverage Funds hold 17,504 long positions and 11,695 short positions. With DJIA nearing its all-time high, “Small Money” is still bullish. Longs outweigh shorts by a 3:2 ratio. Buying or selling one MYM contract requires an initial margin of $1,077. With Wednesday midday quote of 43,376, each March contract (MYMH5) has a notional value of $21,688. Compared with investing in stocks, the futures contracts offer a built-in leverage of about 20 times (=21688/1077). Hypothetically, if Dow futures price moves up 10% to 47,714 in 2025, the index gain of 4,338 points will translate into $2,169 for a long position, given each index point equal to $0.50 for the Micro contract. Using the initial margin of $1,077 as a cost base, the trade would produce a theoretical return of 201.4% (=2169/1077). Futures contracts have expiration days, and you may not hold them forever like stocks. To stay Long in the DJIA, a trader may consider a futures rollover strategy. An illustration: • A trader would buy the lead contract March now, and hold it till the end of February • He would then sell March and buy June, which will become the next lead contract • He would repeat this process: buy September and sell June at the end of May • Repeat this again to buy December and sell September at the end of August This series of trades allows a trader to establish a long position in the DJIA throughout the year, while holding the most liquid contracts. There is no guarantee that each trade will yield positive returns. But if the Dow is trending up over time, the winning would likely outpace the loses. The leverage feature in futures works both ways. It would magnify the losses as well as improving the winnings. The good news is, a trader could put stop-loss on his futures trades, limiting the downside risks. For example, our trader may set stop-loss at 42,000 when he buys the MYM at 43,376. If the Dow falls to 40,000, his position will be liquidated well before that when the price hits 42,000. The maximum loss incurred will be $688 (= (43376 - 42000) * 0.5). The combination of Futures Rollover with Stop-loss could yield higher returns (thanks to the leverage) while maintaining a limited loss exposure. If the index bounces up and down but trends up in the long stretch, the trader will see both wins and losses. Since the wins are unbounded but the losses are contained, the overall returns would likely be positive. The risk to long Micro Dow is that the US stock market enters a bear market, and DJIA trends down over a long period of time. The trader could incur a series of limited losses, and the gains were not sufficient to cover those losses. Happy Trading.

What Is the DJIA, and How Can You Trade It?What Is the DJIA, and How Can You Trade It? The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) is one of the world’s most recognised stock indices, often seen as a barometer for the US economy. Tracking 30 influential companies, the DJIA offers insights into market trends and economic shifts. This article explores what the DJIA represents, how it’s constructed, and how to trade it. Dow Jones Definition The Dow Jones Industrial Average, usually abbreviated to DJIA or DJI, is one of the most well-known stock indices globally, often called simply "the Dow." This index tracks 30 of the publicly traded companies in the US, including major names like Apple, Boeing, and Goldman Sachs. Designed to represent a cross-section of the American economy (although it does not include utilities or transportation companies), the DJIA provides a snapshot of market sentiment and economic health through the performance of these companies. The DJIA was founded in 1896 by Charles Dow and Edward Jones, initially with 12 major industrial companies. Over time, Dow Jones Industrial Average companies evolved to include corporations across diverse sectors, though it's worth noting that these are all large-cap companies, meaning they have substantial market values. Importantly, the Dow is price-weighted, meaning in DJIA, a stock’s price directly affects the index value — stocks with higher prices hold more influence over the index's movements than those with lower prices. So, a stock priced at $300 will impact the DJIA more than one priced at $100, even if the latter company is larger in overall market value. For example, high-priced DJIA stocks like Goldman Sachs or UnitedHealth often drive the index’s movements more than lower-priced yet substantial companies like Cisco. As a result, the index is unique compared to indices weighted by market capitalisation, like the S&P 500. The Dow’s movements can reflect broader market trends, but it provides less of a complete representation of the economy or stock market than the S&P 500 or Russell 2000 since it includes only 30 companies. Nonetheless, traders often look to the Dow Jones index as an indicator of market strength or weakness. When these 30 companies perform well, it often signals broader economic optimism; when they struggle, it can be a sign of potential downturns. Components and Weighting of the DJIA The Dow Jones Industrial Average consists of 30 large-cap US companies across sectors like technology, finance, healthcare, and industrials. Changes to the DJIA’s stocks are rare but do happen when companies no longer reflect the US economic landscape. For instance, a business facing long-term decline may be replaced by a rising industry leader to keep the index relevant. These decisions are made by a committee that aims to ensure the DJIA remains a meaningful snapshot of the economy despite its relatively small roster of companies. What Stocks Are in the Dow Jones? As of November 2024, there are several notable and well-recognised companies in the Dow, including: - Apple Inc. - Microsoft Corporation - Amazon.com Inc. - The Coca-Cola Company - Goldman Sachs Group Inc. - Johnson & Johnson - McDonald's Corporation - Boeing Company - Visa Inc. - Procter & Gamble Co. Factors Affecting the DJIA’s Movements The DJIA can swing up or down due to various factors, reflecting shifts in the economy, company-specific developments, and broader market sentiment. The primary elements driving the index include: - Economic Indicators: Key data releases, like GDP growth, employment reports, and inflation rates, directly impact the DJIA. Strong economic indicators tend to lift the index as they suggest a healthy business environment, while weaker data can pull it down, signalling potential challenges for major companies. - Interest Rates: Interest rate changes, particularly from the Federal Reserve, play a significant role. When rates rise, borrowing becomes more expensive, which can reduce corporate profits and weigh on the Dow Jones Industrial Average’s stocks. Conversely, lower rates often encourage investment and consumer spending, which can boost the index. - Corporate Earnings Reports: Quarterly earnings announcements from the 30 DJIA companies are critical. Positive earnings results can lift the Dow, especially if they beat market expectations and are from one of its pricier components. Conversely, disappointing earnings can drag down the index, especially if they reflect broader industry or sector weaknesses. - Global Events: Major global developments, like geopolitical tensions, trade agreements, or health crises, can quickly shift market sentiment. For instance, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic caused sharp declines in the DJIA as economic concerns spiked. - Sectoral Influence: The DJIA’s performance can be significantly impacted by trends within particular sectors, especially those with higher-priced stocks. For instance, if several tech companies in the index perform well, they can drive up the DJIA, given their substantial influence. - Market Sentiment: General market optimism or fear often moves the DJIA, influenced by factors like investor confidence, media coverage, and broader economic outlooks. Indicators such as the VIX (volatility index) can help gauge this sentiment and reflect periods of heightened volatility. Trading the DJIA with CFDs While traders have various ways to access the Dow Jones Industrial Average—from ETFs to futures—many prefer trading DJIA Contracts for Difference (CFDs) for their flexibility and accessibility. CFDs allow traders to speculate on the DJIA’s price movements without owning the actual assets in the index. One of the benefits of CFDs is that they enable both long and short positions, so traders can potentially take advantage of rising or falling markets. CFDs also allow for leveraged trading, meaning traders can control a larger position with a smaller upfront investment. However, leverage amplifies both potential returns and risks, making risk management essential when trading CFDs. For those interested in DJIA CFDs, FXOpen provides access to these contracts in our TickTrader platform under the Dow ticker WS30m, giving traders an easy-to-use, responsive way to monitor and trade the index. How Traders Analyse the DJIA Traders use several analysis methods to interpret the DJIA’s movements, aiming to understand trends, gauge sentiment, and identify potential trading opportunities. Some of the most common approaches include: Fundamental Analysis Fundamental analysis involves examining economic data and financial statements of DJIA companies. Traders look at metrics like revenue growth, earnings, and profit margins to gauge the health of the companies within the index. Broader economic indicators, such as unemployment rates or consumer confidence, are also essential in understanding how macroeconomic conditions may impact the Dow. Technical Analysis Many traders rely on technical analysis to spot trends and key price levels. Common tools include moving averages, which smooth out price data to identify direction over time, and support and resistance levels, which highlight areas where the DJIA price has historically paused or reversed. Trendlines help traders visualise the overall direction, and indicators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI) show whether the index might be overbought or oversold. Market Sentiment and Positioning Analysis Gauging the mood of the market is crucial, especially with an index as prominent as the DJIA. Sentiment analysis involves looking at factors like trading volume and indicators such as the VIX (volatility index), which measures market expectations for near-term volatility. It’s also possible to interpret the positioning of traders in DJIA futures (expressed with the DJI ticker YM) via the CFTC Commitment of Traders report for insights into how various market participants are taking positions in the Dow. For instance, if the number of contracts held by non-commercials and speculators is positive, these participants are seen as bullish. Correlation Analysis Traders sometimes analyse correlations between the DJIA and other indices or assets. For example, the DJIA often moves alongside the S&P 500, but these correlations can shift based on economic or sector-specific developments. Through understanding these relationships, traders can anticipate how broader market trends might impact the Dow. Risks Associated with Trading the DJIA Trading the DJIA can be rewarding, but it comes with notable risks. One key risk is market volatility. Events like economic data releases, policy changes, or unexpected global events can cause sharp swings in the Dow’s value, creating opportunities but also increasing the chance of sudden losses. Another risk comes from leverage, especially with derivatives like CFDs. While leverage allows traders to control larger positions with less capital, it amplifies both returns and losses. Even a small adverse movement in the DJIA can lead to significant losses if leveraged positions aren’t managed carefully. Economic sensitivity is another factor. As the DJIA reflects the performance of large US companies, it’s highly sensitive to shifts in economic indicators like inflation and interest rates. A surprise rate hike or economic slowdown can affect the entire index, impacting all traders with positions in the DJIA. Finally, liquidity risks can arise, particularly in after-hours trading when market depth is thinner. This can lead to wider spreads and increased costs for those looking to enter or exit trades outside standard market hours. The Bottom Line The Dow Jones Industrial Average offers valuable insights and trading opportunities for those interested in the broader US economy. With a clear understanding of its components, influencing factors, and trading approaches, traders can navigate the DJIA trading confidently.

Dow Jones (US 30) Pullback to Channel SupportChart Analysis: The Dow Jones Industrial Average remains firmly within an ascending channel (green zone), with the current price nearing key channel support after a pullback. 1️⃣ Ascending Channel: The price continues to respect the upward-sloping channel, which has been intact since mid-August. The lower boundary, near 43,450, is a critical support level to monitor. 2️⃣ Moving Averages: 50-day SMA (blue): The price is testing this level at 43,514, which aligns with the channel support, acting as confluence. 200-day SMA (red): Positioned at 40,705, reinforcing the broader bullish trend and serving as a long-term support zone. 3️⃣ Momentum Indicators: RSI: Currently at 39.77, approaching oversold territory. A bounce from this level could signal renewed buying interest. MACD: Bearish momentum persists, with the MACD line trending downward. However, traders may watch for signs of a crossover near support. What to Watch: A successful defense of the ascending channel support and 50-day SMA could provide a foundation for a rebound toward the channel's upper boundary. If the support fails, the next significant area of interest would be the 42,000 level or the 200-day SMA near 40,705. RSI movement and MACD signals will be key for confirming shifts in momentum. The Dow remains within its bullish channel, but traders will be closely watching how price reacts to this critical support zone. -MW

DOW JONES is respecting our major August buy call beautifully.Dow Jones (DJI) is about to hit the 45000 Target on our last buy call (November 20, see chart below) and complete a +8.30% Bullish Leg rise within the Channel Up that started on the August 05 Low: We are very pleased also to see the index making enormous progress after our big August buy (Aug 07 idea, see below) which was exactly on the last major Low of Dow: As you can see, we successfully formulated that trade based on the extremely symmetric price action of 2016 - 2017. We've explained the notion on the previous idea, but we will refresh your memory if you read this analysis for the first time. Dow was already trading within a Rising Wedge pattern in 2016, which towards its end broke upwards and first completed a +19.50% rally. The second Leg of the Bull rally was completed on a +30.70% rise from the pull-back Low and then the markets entered the multi-month volatile period of the U.S. - China trade wars. Key Lows of the Bull Rally were made in October 2016, April 2017 and the last in August 2017. It is important to note that after the August 2017 Low, the index had the most aggressive part of the rally, attached to the top band of the Bollinger Bands range, which is what we've called before "riding the BB wave". Back to more recently and the Rising Wedge that started in 2022, it broke upwards in identical fashion as 2017 (first Leg +23.40%, Lows in October 2023, April 2024 and the most recent August 2024, which as you saw was our last major buy). Even the 1W RSI sequences between the two fractals are similar. What's left now is for Dow to complete a +30.70% rise from the August 2024 Low, in order to conclude the pattern from 2017. Our long-term Target since August remains thus intact at 49000. Keep in mind that this is the essence of long-term investing/ trading and this is the strategy with the highest winning rate. Note also that if it takes the same time to conclude as the 2017 Leg did from the August 2017 Low (green Rectangle, 168 days), then the peak should be formed end of January/ early February 2025. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!
