Price Charts and Technical Analysis
DJI 30 is showing two bearish monthly candles in a row. This could confirm a bearish bounce. Plus the end of the wave B (orange).
The start of the wave C (orange) is confirmed once price action is able to break below (orange arrow) the 21 ema zone. The first target is the support zone (blue box).
A second bearish breakout could indicate an even deeper retracement towards the previous bottom and long-term moving averages. Only a break (blue arrow) above the resistance invalidates (red x) the bearish ABC pattern.
On the daily chart, price action is still above the shallow 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level. This means that bears should still be very careful of this Fib and the support zone.
A strong bullish bounce (blue arrow) could confirm the uptrend. A bear flag (green arrow) could indicate more downside.
