A Bearish Move Imminent for the Dow Jones?My Plan for Tuesday Morning (1/7): I’m targeting a potential 700+ tick trade. The 400 tick dump back to morning open structure was an eye opener, and with high-impact news scheduled for 9 AM, I’m anticipating it will drive the market further down toward its respected price 42,511 . Let’s see how it plays out! After chatting with @Dow_Jones_Maestro I’ve realized that my strong bullish idea is likely off the mark, which means the selling pressure might not be over yet. Be sure to check out his most recent idea—it’s packed with valuable insights:

Will Dow Jones repeat itself? | Bullish Action Idea for 1/3While conducting my evening analysis, I noticed that the last time price reached 42,510, it pumped over 1,000 ticks during the morning open. This occurred on Friday, December 20th. Looking at the current hourly chart, price action seems to be forming a similar concept. This leads me to believe we should touch 42,510 by morning open and then push toward buy-side liquidity around 43,097 and beyond. If this plays out as anticipated, I’m aiming to secure around 600 ticks. We do have PMI at 9, so hopefully its high impact will drive us further through buy-side. Trying to get better at predicting bullish price action, so lets hope this plays out. Let's collect these ticks!

Is the Dow Jones Poised for a Rally?Here’s my plan for Monday morning (1/6): I’m aiming for a solid 6:1 trade. Even with no high-impact news on the horizon, I’m confident price will reach its target regardless. I believe the selling phase might be over, and we’re now positioning for a significant rally toward the 46,000 level. A glance at the daily chart reveals a bullish formation taking shape, suggesting the potential for a strong upward surge to new heights: Let’s see how this unfolds this week—time to lock in and rack up those ticks!

2025 Gameplan B (RangeBound Doji Year) I think my last post is incorrect now that I have taken a wider step back. I still believe it is in a wide range but I was able to expand the range down into 40,000 as a more likely bottom of the range. The range I was expecting was too small. The much larger range lines up with yearly ATR. The weekly and daily charts are showing more downside potential and 2025 is expected to open right in the middle of the range, right where 2024 closed. I don't expect the high to break in the entirety of the next year but in 2026. Price needs to consolidate before it starts on the next leg to 69,000. In the immediate, I see price popping above the declining daily 20sma before the next leg down. Down to take out lows of September and down to 40,000.

Elliott Wave View: Dow Futures (YM) Looking for Double CorrectioShort Term Elliott Wave view of Dow Futures (YM) is looking for a larger degree correction against cycle from 3.15.2023 low in 3, 7, or 11 swing. Rally to 45183 ended cycle from 3.15.2023 low as wave ((3)) per 1 hour chart below. Wave ((4)) pullback is now in progress to correct that cycle. Internal subdivision of wave ((4)) is unfolding as a double three Elliott Wave structure. Down from wave ((3)), wave A ended at 43941 and wave B rally ended at 44556. Wave C lower ended at 42496 which completed wave (W) in higher degree. Rally in wave (X) unfolded as a zigzag Elliott Wave structure. Up from wave (W), wave A ended at 43663 and wave B ended at 42928. Wave C higher ended at 43746 which completed wave (X). The Index has turned lower in wave (Y), but it still needs to break below wave (W) at 42496 to validate this view. Near term, as far as pivot at 45183 high stays intact, expect the Index to extend lower. Potential target for wave (Y) lower is 100% – 161.8% Fibonacci extension of wave (W). This area comes at 39403 – 41060 area where buyers can appear for more upside or 3 waves rally at least.

Daytrading Setup First Green Day Low Of Day Buying OpportunityI will be looking for a low of day buying opportunity at/near the NY session for the first green day setup. I don't know how far down price will go first but after a double bottom at the Low of Day, I will be looking for price to confirm the low of day and close back inside the 20sma. Either Thursday or Friday could present. It all depends on how price behaves near the NY open. The target I will be targeting is the high of the dump day at 43,320. If the trade does indeed setup, stop is 65 ticks and target is around 500 ticks for a nice 8 to 1 potential. Trade management would be to watch how price behaves. This should be a parabolic trade and if I see price chopping around after entry, I will seriously consider tightening up the stop and reducing risk. It should go fast and not come back.

Dow In Range, In Process of Forming Low Buy at Bottom of RangeAt the present moment, Dow Jones is in a range. This was evident at the start of December with the false break reversal at the high and the trading back down to the other side of the range. I will be giving Dow the benefit of the doubt of being a range until further notice and look for a failed break of the downside for the return back up to the top of the range. Rangebound = Buy at the lows when false break Sell at the highs Avoid the middle at ALL COSTS The middle of the range is the Deathtrap and I do not want to get caught buying or selling in the middle as that is where you are the most likely to get taken out. The December 26th High is right under the middle of the range and is a prime target to get taken. Once the market exhausts itself to the downside and starts the buying back up, that will be the first target. The next target is the top of the range. Another clue for this range is where each month has been opening. September, October and November has opened in the bottom of the range (notated in purple). December has opened at the top of the range. January is expected to open at the bottom of the range as well. I have been keeping an eye on this doji candle for the past three months now as a major price magnet. I don't know how to explain my thought process on this but I have seen this countless times and is more of a gut instinct. I have a gut feeling that price is going to target this doji and bounce.

The US govt. will not shut down! So where Are we heading now?How interesting is this—markets seemed nervous for 3 weeks as we approached the deadline to fund the U.S. government. The deadline passed over the weekend, and a deal was reached. Yet, here we are, with Dow futures opening down 80 points. With Christmas Eve tomorrow, it looks like the Santa rally got canceled this year. Five Dow components are already in bear market territory (down more than 20% from their highs). So, what do you think? Is this the perfect spot for a pullback, or do we rally from here? I’ll be looking for weak spots to short with a tight stop—and I’d love to hear your thoughts. Leave your comments below!

Dow Setting Up Low Heading Into Next Year/Month JanuaryOn the Daily chart, I have marked each month by the vertical blue lines. The purple lines are the monthly opens. I will be looking for the low of Monday the 23rd to be taken and a couple of inside days before the breakout of Thursday's high. The three stacked highs at the end of November/beginning of December are easy targets to be taken. Also, the creeping trend with the FOMC blowoff into the rising trendline is another dead giveaway for a short squeeze. I will be on the watch for October's open to be used as a major support for the bounce This ALL lines up with my longer-term plan of the dump back down to 37,000 for the upcoming 20% correction. 37,000 will be the higher low in the Secular Bull Trend that is projected to hit 159,000 by 2042.

Dow Jones Trend Day Setup 5* OpportunitiesMy goal going forward into 2025 is to only trade the Parabolic Trend trades and to master them. They happen roughly 5-8 times per month. Just catching 1 of these per month is all I need. Using 3% risk per one of these setups can deliver 15-20% gains. The universal entry criteria is the 5 minute close back inside the 20sma. The timeframe for entries are either 1 hour before the open, the open, and 1 hour after the open. Profit targets are generally until the close or a range expansion target of 1-2 times the Asia/London box. Below are multiple charts of the same setup with the green box being the ideal entry. If I can only trade 1 trade PER MONTH, this is what I will focus on.

2025 Gameplan Dow Jones 20% Correction Into Monthly UptrendMy gameplan going into the new year is to watch for the formation of the topping process into that rising wedge for the 20% correction back down into the monthly uptrend. After December 23' broke out and the whole of 2024, it will pullback to the 50% area of 37,000. This lines up nicely with the Long term Monthly trend and the November 2023 monthly candle. The ramped volume is ripe for a stop hunt through because it is suspended above actual support. The next higher low in the Dow's trend is back down in the 37,000 area after the entire 2024 year gets taken out.

Price still mitigating the July FOMC as I suspectedPrice is still on its way to mitigate the July FOMC level as I suspected a while back. I just got caught up in the short term and forgot about that prior post I made as a likely target. I was wondering why the July FOMC level hasn't been retested lately as the September FOMC level bounced off. It seems to be repeating the December 23 FOMC level where it makes a suspension above the level before coming back down. Now, I will be closing watching the July FOMC level and if price will come to the tick to it before another rally. The arrows marks every time the market dumps down to a previous FOMC level only to halt mere ticks from it without breaching. If the July FOMC level is to not be breached, then it too should dump down into it by mere ticks. I am still bullish on the Dow and am not going to fall for the manipulation. I will expect that low to be taken and articles mentioning extreme bearishness and another crash. This will be about the time the market forms the low and rallies back up to 46,000
