US30 Downside Test: Key Levels to WatchHello,
BLACKBULL:US30 is likely to see further downside, with a potential test of the 1-year pivot point (1Y PP). How the price reacts around this level will be crucial—if it breaks through, we could see a deeper decline, possibly testing the entire 1-year support structure. However, proceed with caution, as the market remains in a strong bullish trend. Additional bearish confirmation will be more reliable if the price breaks and closes below the 1-day pivot point (1D PP).

Elliot Wave Analysis -DOW JONES IND. AVG. (1932-2026)We have done a Loooooooong Term Elliot Wave Analysis starting from 1932 and maybe ending in 2026(or perhaps 2027).
If you see the chart in Normal scale, its parabolically going right up, and these type of moves are really bad for the market. So I have just tried to analyze the waves and hope it might help you to exit the markets at the right time.

Nasdaq futures: +0.3%
Oil Prices Oil prices were lower, with front-month global benchmark North Sea Brent crude down 0.1% at $75.86 per barrel and US West Texas Intermediate crude down 0.1% at $73.06 per barrel.
Economic Indicator The Institute for Supply Management's Manufacturing index is scheduled for release at 10 am ET and is expected to come in at 48.2 for December, compared to 48.4 in November.
Dow Jones Analysis The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) cycled near familiar levels on the first trading day of 2025. Tepid intraday flows crimped hopes for a ‘Santa Claus rally’. Initial Jobless Claims improved but not enough to spark a firm risk-on bid. The DJIA fizzled on Thursday, kicking off the 2025 trading year with a flat performance and churning chart paper near 42,500. Equities were middling overall during the US market session, with early gains reversing through the day. The first week of 2025 remains thin on the economic calendar overall, though US ISM Manufacturing PMI survey results are due on Friday..
US30 Provided a nice intraday Short and will Likely ConsolidateUS30 Fell to the support at 42300 and is currently between that support and the resistance at level 42800. As a result look for short intraday trades as price consolidates between the two levels.
Price is currently showing another intraday opportunity to resistance at 42800.
Dow jones Quarterly Analysis ---> ( 1st jan - 1st April )The Dow Jones Industrial Average is currently exhibiting a bullish trend, with no significant negative catalysts evident on the charts at present. While the upcoming quarter may experience volatility, a sustained breach above 44,525 could propel the index to 45,467-46,000. Conversely, the downside risk remains open to 40,827-500. However, the current view will be rendered invalid if the Dow Jones breaches 40,500.
US30 possible forecast and update Following japans take on buyside LQ we can see a resistance level made and this market looking for more bearish momentum. I can see this market chasing Daily sellside LQ marked with white line exactly where arrow path is drawn too then buying up from there. id like to see a taken 4hr buyside LQ before to confirm. maybe not this market but maybe spx,nas,ger40,or japan225 to show a 4hr buysidle LQ to confirm sell.
New US30 EntrySeeing an opportunity and taking it. Confirmation on Higher time frame for 1h Fib Extension
My expectation for Dow at H1 (Range for at least two weeks)Hello, Happy New Year in advance
The yellow trend line and probably the "A" point are the price target for the coming days, to reach this point after days of downtrend, the price needs a long range, so the emotional and sharp price movements in the middle or above and below the range are magnet to those levels and are not necessarily a valid breakout, be careful, good luck

Updated idea for the last idea of US 30 (importat!) 27.12.24Hi, How are you doing? Merry Christmas ))
** The used time frame is the daily and I would suggest to open the chart and zoom out, so all will be clearer than how it looks now.
** As you see, the index failed in making another 5th HL, as it went down than the 4HL already and intends to do a lower low currently.
** Have a look now on the blue curved line which points to high tops with high resistance points and they are both at my Fib 50% level! which adds another layer of resistance.
** Also have a look on the previous daily candle which ended up in green, but with an unfilled wick which I assume that it will be filled today when the index moves to the downside.
** The index continued in pushing up the price at the last few days, as a normal reaction after the past 2 bearish weeks. But NO WAY that it could go and close the day candle above the lower yellow line of the rising channel. And by looking at that yellow line, you would easily see that it acted as an uptrend line (as a normal thing of the lower line of the rising channel anyway) and then was broken then the pull back pushed the price up to the current level. but now we have the Fib level, plus the curved blue line tops which are all including the yellow line acting as extra huge and so powerful resistance zones to avoid the index from going more upwards.
** By looking at the daily uptrend line in purple which was not broken since 23.10.2023 that will have to be visited and more likely will be the point which the index is heading down to!
** Also when the index is going down starting from today, hopefully as planned, will mean too the breaking of the uptrend blue line and will send the index to its bottom and that will support the more my idea!
** By going further to my TP will mean a pullback to the red downtrend line which was finally broken by the daily candle of 23.12.2024 then it will act as a support zone to the index for sure!
** The red flag is the TP price where the purple line and the red line will be touched there.
**********NOOOOOTE** It is important to monitor when the index reaches to the purple line on the daily frame and immediately close your short trades once it touches that uptrend purple line! whatever the price could be! as I expect an immediate bullish retrace once it touches it!

Mastering the trading on US 30 (Part 2)Hi and Merry Christmas to you and your families ))
** This idea is the continuation of the previous idea (Mastering the trading on US 30)
** It will go to the purple uptrend line which was not broken since 23.10.2023 as TP1
** High chance will go to my Fib retracement level in orange colour for TP2 then to retrace to the purple line up again.
** The index had fallen from the rising channel in yellow lines and had lost already to do 3rd HL
** We are ,by not hitting the 3rd HL, in a long term bearish wave regardless any bullish retrace up except if the index will go to TP1 and retrace up from without closing the day candle on its right.
** If the day candle will close down to the purple line, I will set another idea for US 30 and will be expected further downside moves.

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.

US30 Bearish to Bullish Play for the Week So US30 hit a nice bullish Rally from the divergent bottom but we were not able to break through 35.400 even though we broke the 4hr daily yellow trendline to the upside.
We broke back into bearish territory Friday before close. So now I am looking at a weekly consolidation candle from last week giving me a projection for another possible consolidation week starting with a drop to the 42.450 area then I expect bulls to come In ultimately pushing price higher breaking through our 1st major resistance 34.400 into our 2nd major resistance 35.550, if we manage to break through both expect a bullish Rally into our next Major Resistance at 44.450. This week could close as another doji consolidation week if so I’m holding bottom buy entry to swing exits.
I’m looking for a higher low this week giving us a wick on this weekly candle, I have a sell limit placed (shown on chart) and will possibly put a buy limit at the target price.
FULL BEARISH SCENARIO: If we manage to break through 42.440 in a major way expect 42.250 next and a full break through that level would go to next major support zones at 41.900 & 41.650
May the pips be in our favor.
US30 - Potential Reversal Zone AnalysisThis chart highlights a potential reversal zone for the US30 based on recent price action and support/resistance levels. The marked areas indicate a possible retracement before a significant bearish continuation. Key levels are identified for monitoring price reactions, with a projected target near 41,687. Stay cautious and align this analysis with your trading strategy.
