DOW - H&S is getting progressed. 📉 DOW JONES – Head & Shoulders Pattern Formation (Right Shoulder in Progress)
The chart illustrates a clear Head & Shoulders (H&S) pattern, a classic bearish reversal signal, forming on the higher timeframe.
🧠 Pattern Breakdown:
Left Shoulder: Formed in early March.
Head: Sharp dip and recovery formed during early April.
Right Shoulder: Currently in the making, aligning with a weekly resistance near 42,880 levels.
Price is expected to reject this resistance and complete the right shoulder.
📌 Technical View:
Strong rejection expected near the weekly horizontal resistance.
If the right shoulder completes and breaks below the neckline (around 41,500–41,600), it may trigger a measured fall.
Fibonacci levels also align, with the 0.382 and 0.5 retracement acting as potential reaction zones.
🎯 Target:
Target: 40,900 levels (Right Shoulder support zone).
This is a confluence zone where buyers may reappear.
Also forms a neckline test, critical for breakout confirmation or reversal.
🔔 Trade Setup Insight:
Short bias activated near 42,880 resistance zone.
Watch for confirmation via bearish engulfing candles or lower time frame breakdowns.
Targeting 40,900 initially. Further downside possible if neckline breaks decisively.

Signs of Selling Pressure (Absorption of Buys at Highs)🧠 Quick Terminology Refresher:
Absorption = Large volume hitting the book with little price movement (strong limit orders halting progress).
Exhaustion = Declining volume near highs/lows, indicating a potential reversal or lack of continuation.
Delta = Net buying/selling pressure (positive = aggressive buyers, negative = aggressive sellers).
Imbalance zones = Strong activity favoring one side of the market — high-probability interest areas.
🔎 Breakdown of Key Zones (Right Side of the Chart – May 20–21):
🔴 Signs of Selling Pressure (Absorption of Buys at Highs)
May 20 Candle:
Delta: -1.37K on 80.27K volume = net sellers present.
Upper wick shows buy volume at the highs being absorbed by resting sell orders.
Price fails to close above 42,300, the same level it touched multiple times (look left), reinforcing it as resistance.
The cluster of buying at the highs followed by price dropping suggests buying exhaustion + absorption by sellers.
🔻 May 21 Candle (Early):
Delta: -387 on low volume (21.68K) — early in the session.
Low delta but presence of symmetric buy/sell volume suggests a balance day or low conviction.
However, failure to break back above the previous POC zone (around 42,200–42,300) + no aggressive buying continuation = bearish bias.
🔵 Prior Bullish Activity (May 15–19):
May 15: Strong positive delta (+3.84K) with 99.68K total volume — clear initiative buy pressure.
May 16–19: Successive candles show diminishing delta and heavy total volume with:
Imbalance blocks shifting down.
Lower highs and failed follow-through after May 15 = exhaustion of buyers.
Especially May 19: delta of -1.14K, and large wick + failed upside = absorbed buys, followed by rejection.
🧱 High-Volume Nodes (Support/Resistance):
Resistance Zone: 42,270–42,300
Multiple failed closes above, heavy sell volume absorbed buyers.
Support Zone: 42,000–42,100
Yellow highlight zone — recent volume nodes + last remaining absorption candle May 14–15.
But current candles are testing this zone, and not bouncing with strength.
📉 Conclusion: Sell Bias Based on Footprint Behavior
✅ Reasons to Lean Bearish / Sell:
Absorption at highs (May 19–20).
Exhaustion of buying delta after May 15–16.
Lower highs and lower volume follow-through.
Price failing at POC/resistance zones (42,300) repeatedly.
No new aggressive buying footprints in current bars.
⚠️ Not a Blind Sell – Wait For:
Break and hold below 42,100, ideally confirmed by:
Negative delta + rising total volume.
Sell imbalances near lower levels.
Signs of no strong passive buyer absorption at 42,000.
🛠 Suggested Strategy:
📉 Short Bias: Target zone: 41,850–41,900
📈 If price reclaims 42,300 with positive delta spike, exit shorts or flip long (failed breakdown = trap).
🎯 Watch Volume Profile: Large nodes mean congestion — avoid taking new trades in the middle of these zones.
US30: Next Move Is Up! Long!
My dear friends,
Today we will analyse US30 together☺️
The in-trend continuation seems likely as the current long-term trend appears to be strong, and price is holding above a key level of 42,259.4 So a bullish continuation seems plausible, targeting the next high. We should enter on confirmation, and place a stop-loss beyond the recent swing level.
❤️Sending you lots of Love and Hugs❤️

DOW JONES History shows that we're now targeting 68000.Dow Jones (DJI) recovered its 1W MA50 (blue trend-line), sending a clear technical message that the 'Trade War' correction is over and the long-term bullish trend has been resumed.
The bottom of that correction was on the 1W MA200 (orange trend-line), which has been the absolute long-term Support trend-line for the index, having broken by a large extent only during the March 2020 COVID crash.
That was also a bottom for Dow's Bullish Megaphone pattern. The last time that the index handed a 1W MA200 bottom while trading within a Bullish Megaphone was on February 08 2016. On both bottoms, the 1W RSI hit the 30.00 oversold barrier.
In 2016 that bottom rebound initiated a (blue) Channel Up that lasted for almost 2 years and peaked on the 3.0 Fibonacci extension level. If Dow continues to replicate that pattern, we are looking at a 68000 Target (Fib 3.0 ext) by mid-2027.

US30 Breakdown May 19thWhy shouldn't you write with a broken pen? Because it's pointless. Just like your life if you don't stay focused on your purpose. Ok let's get to work!
Price is on a beautiful uptrend and right now it's on a retracement down to 42650 area. I believe price will continue to push up to the 42870 Level.
How I'll enter
I am going to wait for price to get down to the 42650 level
Wait for a break of structure as confirmation for a buy (on a 1min)
Then Buy
But like my ex, price does whatever it wants, so be careful and always wait for a break and retest or a break of structure near the key areas.
Have fun. And trade responsibly
Bearish Forecast for the Dow Jones Starting May 15, 2025Bearish Forecast for the Dow Jones Starting May 15, 2025
The Dow Jones Industrial Average is poised to begin a significant decline, potentially as early as today, May 15, 2025, targeting a retest of the price low from April 7, 2025 (~36,611.78), and possibly lower. This movement is driven by renewed trade tensions, disappointing economic data, and bearish market sentiment.
1. Fundamental Factors Driving Potential Decline
Fundamental factors provide the macroeconomic and policy-driven rationale for the anticipated downturn in the Dow Jones.
1.1. Renewed Uncertainty in Trade Policy
The Dow’s rally on May 12–13, 2025, was fueled by optimism over a temporary U.S.-China tariff reduction agreement (90-day truce) announced after talks in Switzerland on May 11, 2025. However, as of May 15, 2025, investor confidence is faltering due to a lack of progress in ongoing U.S.-China trade negotiations.
Trigger for May 15: A Reuters report from May 14, 2025, notes that U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent are meeting with Chinese officials, but no new agreements have been confirmed. If today’s talks fail to deliver positive outcomes or if President Trump escalates tariff rhetoric, the Dow could plummet, as seen in early April when tariffs triggered a 5.5% single-day drop. The Dow, with its heavy weighting of multinational corporations, is particularly vulnerable to trade war fears, which could drive it toward the April 7 low as investors price in higher costs and slower global growth.
1.2. Disappointments in Economic Data
CPI Reaction: The April 2025 Consumer Price Index (CPI), released on May 14, 2025, showed inflation at 2.3% annually, below the expected 2.4%. However, the Dow’s decline (-0.6%) on May 14 suggests investors expected a lower figure to support Federal Reserve rate cuts, reflecting skepticism about inflation cooling further.
Producer Price Index (PPI) Release on May 15: The PPI for April 2025, due at 8:30 AM ET (2:30 PM CEST) on May 15, 2025, is critical. A higher-than-expected PPI, potentially driven by tariff-related cost pressures, could signal rising consumer prices, reducing hopes for Fed easing and triggering a sell-off. Consensus expects a 0.2% monthly increase; a reading above 0.3% could echo the April market reaction when GDP contraction fears pushed the Dow to 36,611.78.
Consumer Sentiment: The University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index for May 2025, released on May 14, likely showed continued weakness (April: 52.2, a multi-year low). A further decline could heighten concerns about reduced consumer spending, impacting Dow components like Walmart and Home Depot.
1.3. Concerns Over Federal Reserve Policy
On May 7, 2025, Fed Chair Jerome Powell cited “elevated uncertainty” due to trade policies, with markets expecting 75 basis points of rate cuts in 2025, starting in July. If today’s PPI or Initial Jobless Claims (8:30 AM ET) indicate persistent inflation or economic weakness, rate cut expectations could fade, increasing borrowing costs and pressuring Dow valuations, mirroring the April 7 recession fears.
2. Technical Analysis
The Dow’s initial decline in April was approximately -19.00%, with a second impulse of similar magnitude. Technical indicators suggest a bearish setup for May 15, 2025:
Current Level: The Dow closed at 42,051.06 on May 14, 2025, down 0.6%, testing support at 42,000.
Bearish Signals: A 12-hour timeframe analysis indicates alignment for a decline, with potential bearish candlestick patterns (e.g., bearish engulfing) and overbought RSI (70). A break below 42,000 could target the 200-day moving average (40,500) and the April 7 low of 36,611.78.
Price Targets:
Retest of April 7, 2025, low: ~36,611.78
Secondary target: ~35,970.70 (based on Fibonacci extensions and prior support zones).
3. Market Sentiment and Behavioral Factors
Fragile Optimism: The Dow’s 15% recovery from April lows was driven by trade truce hopes and select stock strength. Bloomberg’s May 14, 2025, report notes Wall Street’s rebound is “showing signs of exhaustion” due to trade risks. The Dow’s May 14 weakness, led by an 18% UnitedHealth drop, could spread if negative news emerges today.
Global Correlation: Mixed Asian market performance on May 14 (e.g., Nikkei up 1.43%, India’s Nifty 50 down 1.27%) suggests vulnerability. A lower Asian open on May 15, driven by U.S. declines or trade news, could amplify selling pressure on the Dow.
4. Evidence-Based Framework for the Forecast
4.1. Catalysts for Today’s Decline (May 15, 2025)
PPI Data (8:30 AM ET): A PPI reading above 0.3% could signal sticky inflation, reducing Fed rate cut odds and sparking a sell-off.
Trade Talk Updates: Negative U.S.-China trade comments (e.g., no Geneva deal) could reignite fears, mirroring April 7.
Initial Jobless Claims (8:30 AM ET): Claims above 220,000 (vs. prior 211,000) could signal labor market weakness, fueling recession concerns.
4.2. Dow Scenario
Expect a wave-like decline with corrections. The Dow could fall below 36,611.78, potentially reaching ~35,970.70 if trade and economic pressures intensify. Extreme caution is advised in 2025.
4.3. Global Scenario for S&P 500
I anticipate a wave-like decline with intermittent corrections. I wouldn’t be surprised if the S&P 500 falls below 4,700, potentially reaching 4,200. Extreme caution is warranted this year. There’s even a theory that, starting in 2025, the U.S. dollar could lose 50% of its purchasing power.

4.4. Oil and Geopolitical Outlook
I expect oil (Brent) to decline to the $50+/- range, from which an upward trend may begin, potentially tied to future military conflicts:
· Europe vs. Russia
· India vs. Pakistan
· Iran vs. Israel
