Dow Jones Technical Analysis

The technical picture shows something for both bulls and bears. On the bullish side, bulls may want to buy a move higher (the green scenario) above the horizontal green line, as the pattern resembles an ascending triangle. Once the measured move of the triangle is reached, bears may want to sell (the blue scenario) as the possibility increases for the Dow to form a rising wedge. In both cases, a move below the lower trendline is critical.
