What is Dow Theory?The Dow Theory is a financial concept based on a set of ideas from Charles H. Dow‘s writings. Fundamentally, it states that a notable change between bull and bear trend in a stock market will occur when index confirm it.
The trend that is recognized is considered valid when there is strong evidence supporting it. The theory states that if two indicators move in the same way, the primary trend that is identified is genuine.
However, if the two indicators don’t align, then there is no clear trend. This approach mainly focuses on changes in prices and trading volumes. It uses visual representations and compares different indicators to identify and understand trends.
Dow Theory:
The Dow Theory originated from the analysis of market price movements and speculative viewpoints proposed by Charles H. Dow. It served as a fundamental building block for technical analysis, especially in a time when modern software-based technical analysis tools did not exist.
Robert Rhea’s book “The Dow Theory” thoroughly explores the evolution and significance of the theory in speculative endeavours, closely examining the Wall Street Journal editorials written by Charles H. Dow and William Peter Hamilton in the 19th century.
This theory represents one of the earliest efforts to comprehend the market by considering fundamental factors that provide insights into future trends.
The main version of the theory primarily focuses on comparing the closing prices of two averages: the Dow Jones Rail (or Transportation) (DJT) and the Dow Jones Industrial (DJI). The premise was that if one average surpassed a specific level, the other average would eventually follow suit. Dow used an analogy to illustrate this concept, likening the market to the ocean.
He explained that just as waves rise to a certain point on one side of the beach, waves on another part of the beach will eventually reach that same point. Similarly, in the market, different sectors are interconnected, and when one sector shows a particular trend, others tend to follow suit as they are part of a larger whole.
The Paradigms of Dow Theory:
To comprehend the theory, it is essential to grasp the various rules formulated by Dow. These principles, often referred to as the tenets of Dow theory, serve as guiding paradigms
Three major market trends:
The tenets of Dow Theory classify trends based on their duration into primary, secondary, and minor trends. Primary trends can be either upward (uptrend) or downward (downtrend) and can last for months to years.
Secondary trends move in the opposite direction to the primary trend and typically last for weeks or a few months. Minor trends, on the other hand, are considered insignificant variations that occur over a shorter time span, ranging from a few hours to weeks, and are considered less significant than the primary and secondary trends.
Primary trends have three distinct phases:
Bear markets can be divided into three distinct phases: distribution, public participation, and panic.
In the distribution phase, there is a gradual selling off of assets by investors.
The public participation phase occurs when more individual investors start selling their holdings, leading to a broader decline in the market.
The panic phase is characterized by widespread fear and selling pressure, often resulting in a sharp and rapid decline in prices.
On the other hand, bull markets experience three phases: accumulation, public participation, and excess.
During the accumulation phase, astute investors start buying assets at lower prices, anticipating an upward trend.
The public participation phase occurs as more investors join the market and buy assets, contributing to the market’s upward momentum.
The excess phase represents a period of exuberance and speculative buying, often marked by overvaluation and unsustainable price increases.
Stock market discount everything:
Market indexes are highly responsive to various types of information. They can reflect the overall condition of an entity or the economy as a whole.
For example, any significant economic events or problems in company management can impact stock prices and cause movements in the indexes, either upward or downward.
Trend confirms with volume:
When there is an uptrend, trading volume rises and decreases while a downtrend starts
Index confirm each other:
When multiple indices move in a consistent manner, following the same pattern, it indicates the presence of a trend.
This alignment among indices provides a strong signal of market direction. However, when two indices move in opposite directions, it becomes challenging to determine a clear trend. In such cases, conflicting signals make it difficult to deduce a definitive market trend.
Trends continue until solid factors imply the reversal:
Traders should be careful of trend reversals, as they can often be mistaken for secondary trends. To avoid this confusion, Dow advises investors to exercise caution and verify trends with multiple sources before considering it a genuine reversal.
How Does Dow Theory Work in Technical Analysis?
The Dow Theory played a crucial role in the development of technical analysis in the stock market and served as its foundational principle. Which, approach to analysis highlights the importance of closely observing market data to identify trends, reversals, and optimal entry and exit points for maximizing profits.
As the market is considered an indicator of future performance, the application of technical analysis based on the Dow Theory helps investors make profitable trading decisions by identifying established long-term, mid-term, or short-term trends. By using this approach, investors can gain insights into market dynamics and make informed decisions to enhance their trading outcomes.
In conclusion:
The Dow Theory has significantly influenced technical analysis in the stock market, serving as a cornerstone for its development and advancement. By analysing the careful examination of market data, this theory helps traders to identify trends, spot reversals, and determine optimal buy and sell points for maximizing profits.
The market itself is considered a reliable indicator of future performance, and technical analysis aligned with the Dow Theory assists investors in making profitable trading decisions by detecting established long-term, mid-term, or short-term trends. By using this analytical framework, investors can gain valuable insights into market behaviour and make well-informed choices to improve their trading outcomes. The Dow Theory’s enduring impact continues to guide traders in their pursuit of success in the dynamic world of stock market investing.

RED UMVD pulling the price DOWN deep into Green TrapZone. Lets see if GREEN UMVD shows up and buyers rescue this retrace !
📈Near: Bearish Rejection at Weekly Resistance✅🔍Today's analysis focuses on Near, which experienced a rejection from the weekly resistance at $8.39 on the first day of the week. The rejection candle engulfs the previous three candles, indicating strong resistance. However, it's noteworthy that the volume of the rejection candle is lower than the preceding candle, suggesting significant resistance despite a surge in buying volume failing to breach the resistance barrier.
🌪Since March 11th, Near has been consolidating within a range, with the weekly resistance at $8.39 and the support at the 38% Fibonacci level. Both levels exhibit considerable strength, but a preference for a downward correction is apparent from the price action, given the dominance of red candles, potentially stalling the upward momentum. Nonetheless, the weekly and daily trends remain bullish, capable of easily reversing the sentiment on the 4-hour timeframe if the resistance is breached. Therefore, vigilance is required to avoid missing out on potential gains.
📉For short positions, the 38% Fibonacci level serves as a trigger, but it carries significant risk, necessitating careful risk management. Quick profit-taking is advised if the level is breached, as it may signify the beginning of a market downturn, with sellers yet to fully assert their control.
📈For long positions, awaiting confirmation within the golden Fibonacci zone or entering after the $8.39 resistance is breached is recommended. Moreover, if the RSI can break above the 62.69 resistance and the price overcomes its weekly resistance, targeting $13 becomes plausible, potentially offering a risk-reward ratio of 10 with prudent stop-loss placement.
🧠💼It's important to acknowledge the inherent risks in futures trading, with the potential for margin calls if risk management is neglected. Always adhere to strict capital management principles and utilize stop-loss orders, ensuring that the initial target offers a risk-to-reward ratio of 2.

📈LTC Analysis: Short Position Opportunity in Volatile Market🔥🔍Today, we are focusing on analyzing LTC for future prospects. It's worth noting that it's Monday, typically associated with lower market volume and increased market volatility.
🔒On the 4-hour timeframe, we find ourselves within a trading range, with the resistance ceiling at $94.34 and the support floor at $82.97. A recent rejection from the upper boundary suggests that sellers have more strength compared to buyers. Thus, initiating a short position could be a more secure move.
📉In case the $82.97 support level is breached, entering a short position with a target price of $75.98, accompanied by a well-defined stop-loss, could offer a minimum risk-reward ratio of 2.
💎The SMA7 indicator has converged with the price, potentially signaling further downward momentum. If the SMA7 fails to maintain the trend, we'll wait for confirmation from the SMA25. Failure on both indicators may lead to a sideways movement, possibly retesting the upper boundary of the trading range. 📊In the recent downtrend, the volume of red candles has diminished compared to the initial wave. While this could be attributed to the typically lower trading activity on Sundays, a resurgence in volume from tomorrow onwards is essential. Failure to observe increased volume could indicate weakness in the trend.
💥 Additionally, the RSI oscillator provides a critical support level at 32.64. Simultaneous breach of the $82.97 support level and the RSI support could serve as another confirmation for a short position.
❌In conclusion, vigilance is paramount today. If the short position trigger is breached or if setting a large stop-loss to avoid unnecessary risk or setting too small a stop-loss to quickly hit the target, it's crucial to maintain a balanced approach.
🧠💼It's important to acknowledge the inherent risks in futures trading, with the potential for margin calls if risk management is neglected. Always adhere to strict capital management principles and utilize stop-loss orders, ensuring that the initial target offers a risk-to-reward ratio of 2.
📈GAL Analysis: Potential Upside Momentum🛸👨🚀🔍After reaching resistance at 4.966, GAL has initiated a corrective move. Considering the Fibonacci retracement, a bounce from the 0.382 level suggests that breaking above 4.966 could lead to higher targets.
🌪Our Fibonacci-based targets from this point include 5.83 and a range between 6.5 to 7. In case of breaking below the support at 4.196, the last anchor within the range of 3.8 to 4 could potentially reverse the price.
📉A breakdown below the PRZ range on the 4H trend might alter the short-term trend, but keep in mind that the 1D and 1W charts remain bullish, reducing the likelihood of a significant market reversal based solely on the 4H chart.
📊Additionally, the volume of green candles outweighs that of red ones, suggesting potential upward movement in the future.
📈For long positions, it's advisable to wait for confirmation above 4.966 before initiating a position after the resistance breakout

📈TON Breaks ATH: Eyes on $6-7 Target?🚀🔥🔍TON coin has recently shattered its all-time high (ATH) with a convincing candle on the weekly timeframe, marking a significant 32% move from the trigger candle. The uptrend appears to be continuing, with a potential next target range around $6-7 based on Fibonacci levels. If you bought at lower levels, it is advisable to hold for now.
✨Taking a glance at the annual pivot points, TON has reached the R2 level and seems to be consolidating. Observing the reaction at this level will be crucial in determining the next move. A break above R2 could indicate further upward momentum, while failure and a trigger candle might signal a potential sell-off.
📊The recent influx of volume into this coin over the past two weeks suggests strong interest from investors. If there's a reaction to the annual R2 level, monitoring the trendline drawn can provide insights. In case of a breakdown and confirmation candle, selling could be considered.
💥The RSI oscillator has entered overbought territory, signaling a potential sharp movement similar to the recent 30% surge. Fundamentally, TON is associated with the Telegram messaging platform. If you believe in the widespread adoption of this messenger, investing in its coin could be lucrative.
🛒Waiting for a pullback to the trendline with confirmation from a candle could be a viable strategy if you're still on the sidelines. Keep an eye on the market dynamics and react accordingly for potential profit opportunities.
🧠💼Just remember, jumping into trades too quickly before the main trigger can be risky. Always manage your money wisely and be aware of the risks involved.
Market Profile vs Volume Profile: Which one is a better tool?There is an ongoing discussion within the trading community about which tool is better for analyzing market behavior: Market Profile (MP) or Volume Profile (VP). The former was popularized by Jim Dalton in his book "Mind Over Markets," while the latter has many advocates as well, including Peter Reznicek (aka ShadowTrader). With the release of the new "Time Price Opportunities" (TPO) indicator by TradingView, we can now closely examine the disparities between the two and explore which one works better.
For starters, I won't delve into explaining what Market Profile is and all its related artifacts (e.g., TPO, single-prints, poor high/low, etc.). TradingView has done a commendable job explaining key concepts in the indicator description. For those seeking more, Jim Dalton's "Markets in Profile" is a recommended resource, an easier and more up to date reading than the original book. Additionally, there are numerous free webinars available on YouTube.
Both MP and VP serve similar purposes:
1. Assess day character by analyzing shape of intraday distribution (price-time/price-volume)
2. Identify important levels that are not visible on the standard bar chart (VAH, VAL, POC)
3. Spot structural weaknesses and anomalies.
The key difference is in the basic building block: Market Profile uses time at certain price level whereas Volume Profile uses volume.
Let’s look at AMEX:SPY chart to explore the differences
What stands out is that intraday distributions are nearly identical. There are slight differences in key levels (VAH, VAL, POC) but they are negligible. Note how on Wednesday, the price first retests Tuesday's VAH, then Monday's VAL, then again Tuesday's VAH. After confirming support, it rallies up the next day.
From the perspective of the stated goals, we can efficiently achieve the first two, regardless of the tool we use. The third goal is a bit tricky and requries a seperate long discussion. So I won't dwell on it here
In overall, we can see that Market and Volume profiles are pretty much alike and it doesn’t make much difference which one you’ll be using.
Or does it? So far, we looked at the regular hours chart (RTH). What about futures and similar instruments that trade 24 hours? Let's look at CME_MINI:NQ1! chart
Here, the difference in distributions and levels is much more pronounced. The best example is Friday where not only POCs are completely misaligned but even the shapes of distribution (MP is more like a bullish p-shape, whereas VP is a bearish trend day).
The disparity in distributions is explained by the difference in volume traded during regular hours (high volume) and extended hours (low volume). Due to this asymmetry, Volume Profile is always heavily skewed towards RTH. Meanwhile, Market Profile is session-neutral, giving the same weight to overnight and regular hours TPOs.
Understanding of disparity doesn’t answer question of which tool is better. For example, when it comes to key levels, price sometimes respects MP levels and sometimes VP ones. My take is that we need to pay attention to both when they are pronounced. Good example is Tuesday’s prominent MP POC. Although it was built up overnight on low volume, it was revisited the day after and acted as resistance.
To conclude:
For tickets that trade primarily in the regular session (or if you look on RTH session chart only) there is no difference whether to use Market or Volume profile. Both provide same information. (note that volume data on lower timeframes depends on your broker and/or whether you buy real-time data from exchange; reliability of volume data is a separate discussion topic).
If you’re trading 24h instruments I find more useful using MP as it can give important information about non-regular low-volume sessions. For RTH, it will still give the same results as VP. You can also use a combination of two but then you’ll face a challenge of reconciling difference in distribution shape (like the Friday example). As there is no clear answer how to do it, I recommend sticking to one tool at a time.
P.S. I have not done any research on very low timeframe (<5m) for intraday accumulations/distributions. As MP was originally developed to analyze day character (Jim Dalton suggests using 30m TPO) it might not be well suited for lower timeframes (e.g. if you trade within 1h range), and this is the area where VP has advantage. Another point to consider is that currently TradingView provides a wider range of VP tools, incl fixed range, anchored, etc…
📈XVS Breaks Resistance: Eyes on $41.13 Target?🚀💎🔍XVS reacts positively at resistance of $12.86, signaling potential for further upside.
🔥The next target for XVS stands at $41.13, backed by support from Binance and promising project potential.
🚀For current holders, consider holding rather than taking profits, as XVS shows potential for greater gains amid bullish trends.
📊Increased volume post-resistance breakout suggests renewed interest from investors, potentially driving further price appreciation.
💥RSI nearing resistance at 80.34 warrants attention for potential overbought conditions and subsequent market reaction.
❌Consider Bitcoin's ATH and potential for correction, as XVS's technical analysis may be influenced by Bitcoin's movements.
🚨Exercise caution: Should XVS/BTC initiate a downturn alongside Bitcoin correction, consider exiting positions or implementing stop-loss orders for new entries.
🧠💼Just remember, jumping into trades too quickly before the main trigger can be risky. Always manage your money wisely and be aware of the risks involved.
MINA/USDT Trading ScenarioBelow is the scenario of price movement for MINA.
As a result of an extended period of accumulation of large positions at a price of $0.6862, participants have begun to initiate an upward price movement. After completing additional accumulation at around $1.3297, the asset is once again approaching the local maximum and resistance level at the price of $1.6908.
We consider the possibility of conducting a deal on breaking through the local maximum at the price level of $1.6908 with the aim of consolidating above this level and subsequently continuing the upward trend of the asset's value.
DOGE: Breakout Potential/ Long-Term Investment Considerations
Accumulation Range Breakout:
BINANCE:DOGEUSDT has successfully broken out of its previous accumulation range over the past few weeks.
🐃This breakout confirms a bullish trend reversal and indicates potential for further price appreciation.🐃

The price has reached a significant resistance level, leading to price consolidation and RSI reset.
A successful breakout above this resistance level could propel the price towards the next weekly resistance at 0.3.
📊Volume and RSI Considerations:
Adequate market volume is crucial to facilitate a breakout above the current resistance level.
RSI approaching the overbought zone would indicate strong momentum and support the bullish case.
📈MID-Term Investment Potential:
Based on higher targets, DOG could be a viable investment option if the overall market trend remains favorable.
However, investors should exercise caution due to the inherent risks associated with cryptocurrency investments.
🔍📉Reversal and Ranging Scenarios:
Rejection at the current resistance level and a breakdown of the RSI trendline could result in a price correction or extended consolidation.
