Avoid Trading Indices on Long Weekends and Bank HolidaysTrading indices during long weekends or bank holidays can be risky due to lower liquidity and higher volatility. Many major financial institutions and market participants are away, leading to thinner trading volumes. This can cause exaggerated price swings, making it harder to execute trades at desired levels. Additionally, unexpected news or geopolitical events over the extended break can trigger sharp gaps when markets reopen, increasing the chances of significant losses.
Another key concern is the lack of immediate reaction time. Since markets are closed for an extended period, traders have no opportunity to adjust positions in response to breaking news. This can leave portfolios exposed to unforeseen risks. Spreads on indices also tend to widen during these times, increasing trading costs. For these reasons, itโs often safer to wait for normal trading conditions rather than risking unpredictable moves during illiquid holiday sessions.
DJIA trade ideas
Update to Dow Jones Industrials Time At Mode Back in 2015 I had published a chart with annual data for the Dow Jones Industrials. I will provide a link at the bottom.
The research for this patterning is something I did myself by hand using pencil and paper back in the 1980's. These patterns show up in all time frames.
There is plenty of room to enhance the research on this technique and a group of us gather in the chat rooms here at TradingView to discuss new trades that set up and point out when trades expire.
Notice how these two grey boxes (which are both 50% drops in price) that expand wider in time from the 1960's to the 1980's and the 2000-2010's had a multi-year trend, followed by a monster crash (1987 was 40% and 2000 was 37%) and then just two+ years later there was a secondary bear market of 20% in 1990 and 22% in 2022. Keep in mind this is just for the DJ:DJI and not the Nasdaq Composite or S&P500 which were greater corrections.
The 11-year time frame of the 1999-2011 pattern allows for an 11-year rally from 2012 (which was year 1 of the 11-year rally) shows that time expired. As you can see from the 1943-1962 trend, a smaller 5-year mode formed at the end of the 20 year trend and then the market peaked in 1972-1973 when time expired for the second, smaller mode.
I had to reconstruct this chart after the data for the previous chart changed symbol. See the link below to see the original.
I look forward to your additional research onto this pattern and its implications to the idea that we are in a similar period to 1993-1994 with rally years of 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2000 ahead of us.
All the best,

The Federal Reserve continues to tackle inflation๐ง Fundamental Analysis:
The Dow Jones (US30) experienced significant volatility in Q1 2025, with a slight decline due to economic challenges.
Major companies like Coca-Cola and Goldman Sachs are expected to report Q1 earnings this week, and these reports could have a big impact on the indexโs movement.
The Federal Reserve continues to tackle inflation, which supports expectations for potential rate cuts later in the year, helping to support the markets.
However, high inflation and ongoing geopolitical tensions may put pressure on economic growth.
๐ฌ Sentiment Analysis:
Market sentiment is currently mixed; there are concerns about a possible recession, but the market is also looking forward to potential monetary easing by the Fed.
Despite the economic pressures, there is limited optimism that the markets may see a recovery as Q2 2025 begins.
The market may experience volatility due to increasing concerns about inflation and corporate earnings, but overall, there is sentimental support in anticipation of clearer economic data.

Drop followed followed by long.Dow Jones is currently attempting to continue its bullish resurgence, but has failed to do so by failing to stabilise above 40,883. As long as price action is under the 40k mark, the points may likely retest the previous support barriers, situated between 39,500 and 38,750, as likely bullish catalysts for a long opportunity. However, by failing to go down, breaking, and stabilising above 40,883, the price may continue going up, targeting 42,600 and 42,000.
Fool Me Once, Fool Me Twice!What a week, our last idea had a neutral stance and correctly so, volatility was extreme. We did know a bottom of sort was in the making or at least temporarily...now the bounce and where to?
If you have not already realised, any ideas other than Trump caused the recent world mayhem, then you are in denial. Any little respect for this Trump quickly evaporated this week as he reversed his lunacy for 90 days pause..make no mistake, the writing is on the wall now, the markets have shown their hands.
He is merely an actor, it's all a theatre and by design...some well informed individuals made a killing on puts and calls the past two weeks at the mass expense of everyone else.
This rally is a rally to sell, expect a push up to 41700-41900 area, no doubt the game has changed, markets topped with a double top back in January, we have only had the first minor wave 1 down and wave 2 up is in progress and to be followed by a severe wave 3 down...rallies are now sold.
Expect a recession declaration in 3-6 months, expect mass fiat printing to come as a wrecking ball takes apart a market that was priced for perfection...what took a few years to build can be taken out completely in a few short weeks, we were there in 2008.
Gold and especially silver were hammered last week, gold quickly shrugged off the fall and a quick minor wave 4 down has been left for dust in a powerful wave 5 up...this wave, very strong, I expect another week or so of rally before topping out, perhaps U.S $3400-500...silver is an economic precious metal and tied to the coming collapse...but it will bottom out and outperform gold in the end.
Summing up: expect a further rally in the Dow to conclude later next week, Gold to soar and top out also...Gold will have a big correction looming, wave 4 down which could last months, thereafter a rally of historic proportions which will align with QE and systemic failures.
Don't be on the wrong side of whats coming, ignore the mainstream media mouth pieces and trust nothing, especially politicians and banks.
Appreciate a thumbs up, God Bless you all and good trading!

โข Bullish Bias: A clean break and retest above 40,770.00 could open the door for a continuation to 41,552.00.
โข Bearish Bias: Rejection from 40,770.00 or failure to break higher could trigger a retracement to 39,270.00 or lower.

DOW/US30Team, time to go long DOW/US30
yesterday the market disappointed on the FED decision,
i just cant believe the FED compare the inflation in 2020-2021 that is where the COVID and lock down. And compare to 2024. he should have cut the interest rate to ease the market.
Given the fact the market is dropping 1000 points, i expect we should have some recover at least 200-300 points medium
Target 1 at 39225
Target 2 at 39335-39420
Target 3 at 39560-39670
We should see the market pump in 2-3 hour time frame or recover.
