Rinse and repeat - an updated ideaOverview
The analysis takes a broader perspective by examining the 5-day chart instead of the 1-day, leading to clearer insights, with wavetrend analysis and On-Balance Volume (OBV) indicating a pattern similar to that observed in November 2021.
Technical Outlook
Short-Term (4-hour Chart)
- Current State: DJI appears overextended and due for a correction.
- Immediate Forecast: Anticipated pullback to the 50 EMA, approximately at the 39.3k level.
Medium-Term Forecast
- Early August: Further decline expected to around 38.3k.
- September: Predicting a sharp increase to an all-time high (ATH) near 41.5k in early to mid-September.
- Post-ATH Movement: A significant drop to the 37.5k region, followed by a recovery phase leading up to the election period, stabilizing around 40k.
Post-Election and Long-Term Forecast
- After Election: Pessimistic outlook with a substantial decrease anticipated, potentially reaching 33.9k by mid-January.
- End of Q1 Rally: A typical rally is expected where stocks may surge until the end of March.
- Mid to End of May: Anticipating a downturn until finding a bottom near this time frame.
Beyond May

Conclusion
This analysis suggests a cyclical pattern in the DJI with significant fluctuations. Investors should prepare for volatility, especially surrounding key events such as the election and watch for economic indicators like interest rate changes for longer-term market direction cues
