DJIA Stay In A Risk-On MoodUS equities rallied last week to new record levels with the Dow Jones Industrial Average breaching 28,000 for the first time. Soft economic data, Trump’s impeachment hearing, Hong Kong protests, and Middle East unrest were all considered secondary factors in investment decisions.
Today European stocks kick off a new week a little flat, with more talks between the US and China failing to excite investors in the way they have been recently.
So, what now? With the economic calendar being empty to during the start of the week, any trade updates will dictate the mood in markets. As things around the trade talks stand optimistic, the Dow is set to hold above the 28K level at the open. The market is trading on the strong side of an uptrending Gann angle from the 25,743 main bottom on October 3. Look for the uptrend to continue as long as the Dow futures contract holds above this angle.
The 55-day moving average has risen to 26,972 and could provide support if the price begin to fall. A move through 27,400 will shift momentum to the downside. This will not mean the main trend has changed, but it will indicate the selling is greater than the buying at current price levels. While the nearest main bottom 25,743 hold, the uptrend is safe for now.
