The DJI at the crossroads

DJ:DJI   Dow Jones Industrial Average Index
Been a long time since my last update.

The DJI is still in an overall long term positive trend.

As I already noted over a year ago, the technicals never really fully unwound as in 2009 however. It's been a long time. Too long for me to be comfortable.

Let's be clear; even a 50% correction at this point would still leave the DJI in a positive uptrend.

With that in mind, there is a rising triangle formation that is shaping up. Should this formation break to the downside, we can seek support at a handful of levels.

There is some clear rising support lines and some modest lateral supports along the way.

The bulk of the support however, is in a price band right around the 40% to 50% retracement level.

More generally:

Globally, the US market is still the favorite refuge for capital.

Compared to Europe, the USA are still a better destination for creative endeavor and entrepreneurship.

Europe is quickly descending into banana republic social unrest brought about by repressive legislation and stifling fiscality.









Comment:
... and now to work out where support comes into the picture...

1st, I would like the technicals to unwind much more.
Then, I am monitoring the rising trend channel for a test

Should the channel not hold, then we can look at the 20K to 18K area as the next solid support.

Effectively though, we have a long way to go before the bull market in the DJI can be declared reversed or dead.
